2.3 Project Execution Plan

The Project Execution Plan (PEP) is a critical construction phase master file which the Project Director is required to maintain throughout the construction period.

It incorporates and will build upon the Project Initiation Document (PID), Outline Business Case and Full Business Case developed and approved earlier in the project lifecycle. (See Programme and Project Organization and Business Case Section for further details).

The PEP will be updated to reflect work to date and proposed agreement to be made between the client and construction supply chain.

This provides a detailed checklist of specific tasks to be undertaken by the Project Director.
