Hold points
Some steps should not start while the one in front of them is open.
This page is a guide to a CDM 2015 duty. It is not a screen in EHSync Projects, and the app does not do this part of the job for you.

Where it is used
Before the next step starts
What the duty asks for
- Design risk accepted, inductions done, permits in date, scaffold handed over, power on, and the checks you add for the job.
- Monitoring the construction phase means knowing which of these are still open.
- An open hold point is often the reason the programme is stuck.
Good practice
- Give each hold point an owner.
- Make an open one visible on the day, not in the Friday report.
- In EHSync Projects, task dependencies and milestones show what has to finish first. The app does not issue permits or hand over scaffolds.
