CDM & RIBA Plan of Work 2013
Ross Gooding – Principal Health and Safety Consultant / CDMC
26th June 2013
Since its development first began in 1963, the RIBA Plan of Work has been the definitive UK model for the building
design and construction process, and has also exercised significant influence internationally.
The Plan of Work framework has served both the architects’ profession and the wider construction industry well, but
although it has been amended over time to reflect developments in design team organisation and alternative
procurement arrangements, these changes have generally been incremental rather than strategically driven.
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) officially launch the RIBA Plan of Work 2013 (Tuesday 21 May.
Following a comprehensive review this major upgrade ensures that the 50 year-old RIBA Plan of Work continues to reflect the very best principles
in contemporary building practice. In addition to essential updates, on elements such as procurement and sustainability, for the first time some
tasks can be tailored using an online tool.
The first RIBA Plan of Work was conceived at a time when the regulatory framework for building design and construction, industry structures and
procurement arrangements were simpler and more defined - very different from those in use today.
The RIBA Plan of Work 2013 responds to the impetus provided by the publication of the UK Government Construction Strategy for the RIBA to
take a leading role, and working closely with the Construction Industry Council (CIC), shape a set of unified work stages suitable for use by all the
members of the project team.

Procurement
(Variable)
The procurement strategy does not fundamentally alter the progression of the design or the level of detail prepared at a given stage.
However, Information Exchanges will vary depending on the selected procurement route and Building Contract. A bespoke RIBA Plan
of Work 2013 will set out the specific tendering and procurement activities that will occur at each stage in relation to the chosen
procurement route.
