What is Construction Phase Plan software?

Construction Phase Plan software is designed to simplify one of the most important health & safety requirements under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015).

Rather than creating plans manually from scratch, software guides you through the information required for your project and automatically generates a professional Construction Phase Plan that's tailored to the work you're carrying out.

This helps you create documentation faster, reduce repetitive admin and lower the risk of important project information being missed.

Why choose Construction Phase Plan software instead of templates?

Many contractors still rely on free templates or previous projects when creating Construction Phase Plans. While this might seem like the quickest option, it often leads to unnecessary editing, duplicated information and documents that don't accurately reflect the project.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Doing it manually Using Ohutu
Old templates and disconnected files
One guided process
More admin every time
Faster project setup
Repeating the same details
Reusable information
Harder to update paperwork
Easier revisions
Documents spread across folders
Better organised paperwork

Save time on every project

Instead of editing lengthy Word documents, Ohutu creates your Construction Phase Plan from a simple project questionnaire.

Once you've entered your project details, your documentation is produced automatically, dramatically reducing the time spent preparing paperwork.

Improve consistency

Every project follows the same structured process, helping ensure your documentation remains clear, professional and consistent across your business.

Whether you're managing one project or dozens, you'll know your paperwork follows the same high standard every time.

Reduce the risk of manual errors

Manual documents are easy to overlook. Sections get copied across, outdated information remains in place, and important details can be missed.

Software helps minimise these risks by generating project-specific documentation based on the information you've provided.

Keep everything organised

Rather than managing multiple folders, templates and versions of documents, Ohutu stores your construction paperwork digitally, making it easier to access, update and share whenever required.

How Ohutu helps you create your CPP

From job details to site-ready paperwork

1. Add the job details

Enter your company, client, project and site information. Ohutu guides you through what is needed.

2. Create your documents

Generate your Construction Phase Plan and supporting paperwork without starting with a blank page or adapting an old template.

3. Keep everything organised

Access documents, reuse key information and update paperwork when the project changes.

Built around CDM 2015 requirements

Every construction project requires a Construction Phase Plan before work begins.

Ohutu has been designed to support contractors with their CDM 2015 responsibilities by providing a clearer, more structured way to create project-specific documentation.

The software prompts you for the information needed to build a project-specific plan, making the process straightforward even if you're not producing Construction Phase Plans every day.

While no software can replace professional judgement, Ohutu provides a practical framework that helps ensure your documentation is suitable for the work being undertaken.

More than just a Construction Phase Plan

Preparing for a project usually involves far more than creating a single document.

Your Construction Phase Plan is only one part of getting the right paperwork in place. Ohutu helps you create and organise a wider range of supporting site documents, including:

Warning

Risk assessments & method statements (RAMS)

Hardhat

COSHH Assessments

Document icon

Site induction forms

Builder icon

Site rules

Pin icon

Display documents

Checklist

Site setup checklists

Alarm icon

Accident reporting forms

Info icon

Other supporting project information

That means your CPP sits within a wider paperwork process, rather than becoming a standalone document that is difficult to keep track of.

Built by builders. Made for real sites.

Frequently asked questions

What is Construction Phase Plan software?
Construction Phase Plan software guides contractors through the information needed to create a project-specific CPP. Instead of manually editing templates, users enter the relevant project details through a structured process.
Is a Construction Phase Plan legally required?
Yes, under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), every construction project must have a Construction Phase Plan before work starts. The level of detail should be proportionate to the size and complexity of the project.
Can I still use free Construction Phase Plan templates?
Free templates can provide a starting point, but they often require a lot of editing and may not accurately reflect your project. Software offers a faster and more consistent way to produce project-specific documentation.
Does Ohutu only create Construction Phase Plans?
No. Ohutu also helps you create and organise a range of supporting health and safety documents, including RAMS, COSHH information, site induction forms, site setup information and other project paperwork.
How long does it take to create a Construction Phase Plan?
The exact time depends on your project, but using dedicated software is typically much faster than manually editing templates or creating documents from scratch. Once your project information has been entered, Ohutu uses it to create the relevant project documentation.
