About

What is CxPlan?+

CxPlan is a shared, real-time planning tool for MEP commissioning teams. Subcontractors submit their planned ATPs and the commissioning manager reviews, approves and tracks them in one place.

Who is CxPlan for?+

Commissioning Managers running the T&C programme on a project, and the MEP subcontractors delivering it (mechanical, electrical, public health, fire & life safety, controls).

Accounts & roles

Can I be a sub-contractor on one project and a commissioning manager on another?+

Yes. Your role is set per project, not per account. The same login can act as a Sub on Project A and as the CM on Project B.

Billing

How does the 28-day free trial work?+

You can use one project free for 28 days. No card needed to start. After 28 days you can pick any paid plan to keep going.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. You can cancel any time before your renewal date. You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Do you offer refunds?+

Yes — within 14 days of payment, provided a valid reason is given. See our Refund Policy for details.

Getting started

What is CxPlan?+

CxPlan is a commissioning planner that helps sub-contractors and commissioning managers track equipment, activities and ATP stages across projects.

Notifications

How are people notified?+

Real-time in-app notifications by default, plus email — per event, daily digest, or off. Each user picks in /settings.

Pricing & accounts

Do I need different accounts for being a CM versus a sub-contractor?+

No. Each project assigns you a role separately — you can be the commissioning manager on one job and a subcontractor on another with the same account.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes — 28 days free, full features, no card required.

Can I cancel any time?+

Yes. Cancel from the Billing page and you keep access until the end of the paid period.

Programme import

What programme formats can I import?+

PDF Gantt charts (we extract the description and dates only) and Excel files with columns for Equipment & Activity, T&C Stage, Start Date, Finish Date, Area and System.

What size of PDF can I upload?+

Up to 20MB. For very large programmes we recommend splitting by package or floor.

Security & data

Is my data secure?+

All data is stored in encrypted UK/EU cloud infrastructure with row-level access controls. Files are private to each project. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.

Who owns the data I upload?+

You do. We act as a data processor only. You can export or request deletion at any time.

Using CxPlan

Can I import an existing programme?+

Yes. The Excel import accepts columns for Equipment and Activity, ATP Stage, Start Date, Finish Date, Area and System. All columns are optional and missing items can be added manually.

Workflow

Can I rename the T&C stages?+

Yes — call them ATPs, Stages, Levels or anything else, up to 10 per project.

How do I close out an activity?+

Open the activity, pick the outcome (Successful, Successful with observations, Unsuccessful) and tick which invited attendees actually witnessed the test.

Can I attach files to activities?+

Yes — up to 20MB per file. Stored privately and only visible to project members.
