The useful questions
Clarity comes
with the service.
Who is KnockFirst for?
Consultancies preparing Construction Management Plans (CMP), Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP) and Construction Traffic Management Plans (CTMP). The current focus is developments in the North West of England.
Does this mean the work is still available?
Not necessarily. No matching document in a public register does not prove that nobody has been appointed privately. Each brief explains the screening result and when it was checked. You should recheck the council record before contact.
What will I receive, and how often?
Evidence-linked opportunity briefs by email, matched to the agreed scope. We confirm delivery frequency with you before signup. Opportunity numbers vary with approvals and source access; there is no guaranteed lead volume.
Do you cover every council?
No. Some councils use unsupported systems or restrict document access. We work from accessible records and explain coverage before you join. We do not claim complete regional coverage or exclusive opportunities.
Can I see the research before joining?
Yes. Explore the complete sample opportunity, including the exact condition, council sources and screening caveat. No email address is needed to read it.
