CCF Systems Gap Analysis Checklist Civil Contractors Federation Civil Construction Management Code Please Note: This Gap Analysis Checklist is designed to enable Contractors to undertake an initial self assessment of whether their management systems contain process documentation and elements to broadly meet the Civil Construction Management Code. The purpose of the assessment is to enable the contractor to determine whether their systems need to be more detailed and if so in what areas. This Gap Analysis Checklist is not a formal Audit Checklist and in no way indicates or intends to indicate whether the Contractor s management systems are fully compliant with any aspect of Legislation. Similarly this Checklist does not indicate or demonstrate a particular level of readiness for Certification of the system against the Civil Construction Management Code.
