Construction Management Plan

A Construction Management Plan (CMP)  is a combination of diagrams, documents, drawings, and specifications, prepared by a Professional Engineer, that clearly define the steps that will be taken to demonstrate how the impacts to the community will be minimized and how the impacts associated with any construction project will be managed.  A CMP is required when construction activities such as, demolition, excavation, construction of a new development will happen within 5 m of municipal property or street or will create an obstruction within the street. The CMP will be submitted as a part of a permit and is required to meet the requirement set out within the ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NUMBER 2018-005-ADM Respecting Construction Site Management.

Submission requirements for individual CMPs vary based on project nature and complexity. Each CMP is unique, and applicants must consult Halifax Water regarding potential impacts to infrastructure (e.g., ditches, stormwater sewers) and, as needed,  other approval agencies such as the NS Department of Public Works or NS Environment & Climate Change.
