The template problem

Downloaded CPPs fail Principal Designer review for three reasons.

01 · Wrong hazards

A template lists generic construction hazards. Your PD wants the ones on your site — the neighbouring school, the buried services, the party wall, the deliveries down a single-track lane.

02 · Wrong arrangements

Templates don't know your programme, your subcontractors, your welfare set-up, or your emergency plan. The Regs require specifics. Blanks and boilerplate don't count.

03 · Wrong version

Many circulating templates still reference CDM 2007 or cite guidance that's been withdrawn. Reviewers spot it immediately and it undermines everything else in the plan.

AS
"Every plan is written by me or a competent adviser working alongside me. You get the same person on the phone from quote to sign-off — not a case number."

Common questions

Straight answers before you get in touch.

My CPP has already been rejected. Can you rewrite it?

Yes — often the fastest job we do. Send the rejected plan and the reviewer's comments; we'll quote to rewrite rather than start from scratch.

The project starts next week. Can you meet that?

Sometimes. Call us with the dates before you commit. We won't take work we can't deliver — you'll get a straight answer, not a maybe.

It's a small domestic notifiable job — is £495 really the price?

Yes. Small notifiable projects still need a proper CPP; the fee reflects the size and complexity of the job, not a corporate minimum.

Can you write our RAMS and Pre-Construction Info too?

Yes. Ask for a bundled quote at instruction — it's usually cheaper than commissioning each separately.

Are you insured?

Yes — full Professional Indemnity and Public Liability. Certificates on request.

Send the pack. Get a fixed-fee quote same day.

Fill out the short contact form and we'll come back the same working day with a fixed fee and a delivery date. Or email direct if you'd rather.
