Faster decisions before you request support
- Confirm the work location and RCA
- Describe the work method and staging
- Collect plans, photos and dates
- Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts
Plain-English explanation
The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.
Minimum briefing set
The minimum useful brief is location, scope, dates, hours, work method, staging, plans or sketches, site photos and known access or pedestrian impacts. Without these, the TMP designer has to make assumptions that may not match the site.
Nice-to-have evidence
Good photos, marked-up plans, previous comments, CAR references and programme notes can save a lot of back-and-forth because they answer obvious review questions upfront. A photo of the work frontage is often worth more than a long description.
How to avoid rework
Avoid rework by sending the real constraints early, not after the first review. Missing dates, vague staging and unclear pedestrian routes are common avoidable problems. If something is unknown, say it is unknown rather than guessing.
Before you request help
- Confirm the work location and RCA
- Describe the work method and staging
- Collect plans, photos and dates
- Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts
- Keep TMP, CAR and WAP details aligned
Common questions
Who reviews the TMP or CAR?
The relevant council, RCA or network owner reviews the submission. Our role is to help make the information clearer, more complete and easier to respond to.
What do you need before starting?
Send the work location, scope, dates, site plans or markups, methodology, hours of work, access needs, photos if available, and any RCA comments already received.
Can you work with our on-road crew or traffic management provider?
Yes. Your TMP Designer can provide the planning, documentation and drawing support and can also scope on-road establishment and traffic management for the job.
