Introduction
A pre construction information pack is a tool to be used to allow all major members of a
construction project to easily identify all measures that are to be taken within the
project, to outline all pre existing faults on the site and to ensure all information
referring to risks are known.
For this information pack I will be starting by outlining the project and the major
members to be involved. Then I will be explaining the requirements for management of
this project while, alongside this, expressing the client’s requirements. The third
section for this assignment will be outlining the current risks that are on site along with
any environmental issues that will need to be expressed. The next step is to show the
significant design and construction hazards excluding those that are risks from the
original site. The final section then is to outline what will go in the health and safety file
after the completion of the project.
Before this assignment was set, I personally knew nothing about a pre construction
information pack. Therefore, from this assignment, I hope to gain a large amount of
knowledge about the pack itself. I also hope to learn more about the job of the CDM
co-ordinator and his roles and duties before the commencement of the project as a
whole.

Task A
Description of Project
The overall development is for an area of housing, which is to be price varied,
including a small rentable retail outlet of 3 units, with office space above. The project
will encompass a range of methods to make them more energy and service efficient,
these include;
Recycled rainwater
Solar panelling
Underground heating systems

Task B
07/12/2021 144635 11
Emergency procedures are to allow emergency services onto site with ease
have a clear and concise evacuation plan and for first aid trained team
members to be able to reach any points on site in minimal time.
No go areas are all areas that are underground or confined spaces, also no one
may approach a plant unit in service unless necessary. The onsite private
records facility is not to be accessed unless authorised to do so by the site
manager.
This site it not a non-smoking site, parking is restricted to the compound car
park and in no event may anyone park in such a way to block another vehicle
entering the site, or from exiting their parking space.

Task C
Low boundary wall on south facing wall cause a possibility for unauthorised
access, and possible vandalism.
Limited access before the site entrance is extended lowers our ability to get
plant and materials on site, and limits our ability to remove waste products off it.
Time is restrictions on deliveries and pickups due to the nearby school and the
peak time traffic.
Nearby infant school, within one mile, causes us a hazard with both
unauthorised entrance onto the site and a possibility of injury to children.
Heavy traffic at peak time traffic will cause lengthened delivery times.
Underground water, gas and electric in the adjacent pathway and roads will
need to be extended into the site, therefore measures will have to be taken
redirect pedestrian traffic, to ensure safety, and portable traffic lights will need to
be placed for the duration of the extension of the services.
Ground conditions can become boggy in heavy rainfall therefore considerations
must be taken for the plant, a crane pad may be needed for the modular
building phases of the development.
A hydraulic piling rig must be used in place of a conventional piling rig due to
vibrations caused by a conventional one.
Due to close social areas, the nearby park, bowling-green and multipurpose
gaming area, unauthorised accessed is possible and may lead to vandalism and
theft of property.
Due to the proximity of the neighbouring houses noise restrictions are
necessary. No overpowering volumes will be allowed before and after
applicable times, also no unnecessary volumes will be used at a given time.
Dust creation from our site is emitted during all phases of the construction;
therefore reasonable measures must be taken to reduce the amount of dust
created at any one time.

Task D
Arrangements for co-ordination of ongoing design work and handling design changes
Meetings will be held on a weekly basis to determine the necessity for design changes,
when possible designs will not be changed but measures will be bought into action to
stop future problematic events.
07/12/2021 144635 14
Task E
The principal contractor is responsible for obtaining any relevant information from other
sub contractors for inclusion in the Health and Safety File.
The health and safety file should contain information about the following;
A brief description about the work carried out
Residual hazards and how they have been dealt with
Full contact details of all sub-contractors used including work performed
Full contact details of all suppliers used including materials supplied
Site plans showing the actual position and route of all drainage and services
as-built drawings, and plans used and produced throughout the construction
process
Details relating to Health and Safety that may affect future demolition or
dismantling works
Details relating to Health and Safety that may affect cleaning and maintenance
works
Details of Maintenance procedures and requirements for the structure.

Conclusion
When I started this assignment I set myself two goals these were to improve my
knowledge of the pre construction information pack, and to learn about the roles and
responsibilities of the CDM co-ordinator. I believe that I have accomplished these.
During the space of this assignment I had a two major problems, the worst of these
was the word count. When I began the tasks set for me with fear that I would easily
pass the word count, because of this I tried to be as concise as possible. However
when I finished my first draft, I found that I was far below the word count, this meant
that I needed to extend my assignment to fulfil all the given criteria. After this I came
across another problem. While in my introduction I stated that I would not allow
sections to overlap, in both task C and D there was information found in other sections.
This meant that I had veered from the set word count and more valid information
needed to be added.
Overall I believe that this assignment has allowed me to expand my views and
horizons, for different jobs in the construction industry as a whole. However in my
opinion the job of a CDM co-ordinator is not one that I would personally apply for.
