Pre-Construction Information Report

The Pre-Construction Information (PCI) report is an essential document required at the outset of any construction project. It gathers crucial data regarding site conditions, design risks, environmental concerns, and health and safety information. This report evolves throughout the project, ensuring that every stage is well-documented and compliant with regulations such as the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM).

The PCI report serves as a useful checklist at the beginning of the project, flagging potential issues such as flood risk, the likelihood of needing a bat survey, and other environmental or safety concerns. By identifying these risks early, the report helps reduce errors and enhances project safety. It forms a critical foundation for a successful project, giving both designers and contractors a clear understanding of site conditions and required precautions.

The report is updated as the project progresses, ensuring a continuous flow of vital information.
