CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Manage a construction programme from start to finish with this up-to-date guide The maturation and proliferation of project management principles has been one of the most important stories in recent business history. So widely has project management spread throughout the corporate world that it has now given way to a similar discipline, programme management, designed to align, coordinate and manage a number of related projects as a whole. In the construction industry particularly, programme management can deliver benefits that would not have been possible to realise had individual projects been managed independently. Produced by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), the revised Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment provides a comprehensive overview of the tools required to deliver such benefits, and how they are applied in construction programmes. A natural complement to the CIOB’s popular Code of Practice for Project Management for the Built Environment, it is now fully updated to reflect new insights and best practices. Readers of the second edition of Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment will find: Theoretical and practical insights derived from research and experience Coverage of setting up programmes successfully so that teams feel confident to deliver the final outcome Guidelines for implementing programme management for the built environment Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment is ideal for programme management and project management professionals involved in this industry and in particular, contractors and client organisations, as well as for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in construction project management and other related disciplines.

The first edition of the Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development, published in 1992, was groundbreaking in many ways. Now in its fifth edition, prepared by a multi-institute task force coordinated by the CIOB and including representatives from RICS, RIBA, ICE, APM and CIC, it continues to be the authoritative guide and reference to the principles and practice of project management in construction and development. Good project management in construction relies on balancing the key constraints of time, quality and cost in the context of building functionality and the requirements for sustainability within the built environment. Thoroughly updated and restructured to reflect the challenges that the industry faces today, this edition continues to drive forward the practice of construction project management. The principles of strategic planning, detailed programming and monitoring, resource allocation and effective risk management, widely used on projects of all sizes and complexity, are all fully covered. The integration of Building Information Modelling at each stage of the project life is a feature of this edition. In addition, the impact of trends and developments such as the internationalisation of construction projects and the drive for sustainability are discussed in context. Code of Practice will be of particular value to clients, project management professionals and students of construction, as well as to the wider construction and development industries. Much of the information will also be relevant to project management professionals operating in other commercial spheres.

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT This is the first Code of Practice for Programme Management for the Built Environment. It is a natural development from the highly successful Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction & Development, which was first published in 1992 and is currently in its fifth edition. Both Codes of Practice were developed by representatives from the major professional institutions associated with the built environment, including the CIOB, RICS, RIBA, ICE and APM, as well as from key government departments, domestic and international corporations and the university sector. By aligning, coordinating and managing a number of related projects as a programme, benefits that would not have been possible to realise had the projects been managed independently can be delivered. This Code of Practice is intended to provide practical coverage of the general processes and procedures to be followed when managing such a programme. It sets out the necessary requirements for effective and efficient programme management, while at the same time ensuring systematic quality control and documentation through governance arrangements. Written for programme and project management professionals in construction, whether working as contractors or clients, the book will also be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of construction and related disciplines.

This book breaks new ground by creating a framework to understand clients’ actions and needs. Most construction management books focus on improving the construction process; this one focuses on a better engagement with the client. It challenges conceptions of both the construction industry and clients’ businesses so that a more effective process and greater client satisfaction can be achieved. The book suggests that ‘buildings are not about building but about changing and developing the client’. The technical, organisational and psychological aspects of this are described and analysed in detail so that current experience can be explained and better practice determined. The book offers well-researched information about clients in a number of sectors - developers, supermarkets, NHS, government, airports and housing associations - which will help you understand what these client’s business or service needs are and how construction fits into this. It demonstrates how to develop an appreciation of the client’s perspective with a toolkit for ensuring successful client engagement. This makes Understanding the Construction Client a user-friendly and practical guide, as well as significant text for academia.
