What it's for
Problems on site often start where one package meets another, or where a long-lead material was not ordered in time. The plan makes the package manager think through scope, interfaces and resources in advance, and links the package to its RAMS, permits, ITP hold points, consents and budget.
When you need it
Before each significant work package starts, and when its scope or programme changes.
Who signs it
The project manager prepares it and a director approves it.

FAQ
- How is it different from the pre-start work package checklist?
- The plan sets out how the package will be delivered. The checklist confirms that everything in the plan is ready on the day the package starts.
- What are interfaces?
- Work by others that must be finished before you start, happens at the same time, or depends on your package finishing.
- Does it replace the RAMS?
- No. It refers to the RAMS and permits for the package, which still need to be prepared and briefed.
- How detailed should it be?
- In proportion to the package. A small, simple package needs a short plan. A large or high-risk package, or one with many interfaces, needs more detail on resources, interfaces and controls.
- What is [TO CONFIRM]?
- Details only you know, such as your site address and postcode, the nearest A&E, named people and contact numbers. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the document opens with a list of every one, so you can fill them in before the plan is signed and used.
- 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.
