What it's for

Under regulation 4(4) of CDM 2015, the client must provide pre-construction information as soon as practicable to every designer and contractor appointed, or being considered for appointment. Designers and contractors need it to plan safely. The checklist shows what was issued, the document references, and who is chasing any gaps.

When you need it

At tender and appointment, and again whenever new information is issued. Contractors can use it to check what they have received before pricing and planning.

Who signs it

It is issued by the client or Principal Designer and signed as received by the contractor.

What's inside

  • Project, PCI reference and revision
  • A checklist of 12 information areas: project description, ground conditions, services, existing structures, hazardous materials, traffic, boundaries and access, ecology and environment, an existing health and safety file, emergency procedures, client contacts and any others
  • Document references and comments for each
  • Gaps in the information, who is obtaining it and by when
  • Issue and receipt sign-off

FAQ

Who provides pre-construction information?
The client, with help from the Principal Designer where one is appointed.
What if information is missing?
Record the gap, who is getting it and by when. Contractors should raise gaps before pricing or planning the work.
Is an asbestos survey part of it?
Information about hazardous materials, including asbestos, is one of the items on the checklist.
Does the checklist replace the information itself?
No. It is a record of what was issued and when. The information itself is in the documents listed against each item, so keep them together.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as references, names and locations. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the checklist opens with a list of every one. Results, readings, dates and signatures are left blank for completion at the time.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
