The Project Execution Plan (PEP) is the master document that defines how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.

It connects the design intent to the construction strategy — ensuring alignment among all stakeholders.

Purpose of a PEP

• Defines roles, responsibilities, and interfaces.
• Links project objectives to deliverables and milestones.
• Provides a baseline for performance monitoring.
