Client Best Practice Guide

The role and performance of clients is the single most important factor in determining the success of construction projects and capital works programs, regardless of their size, complexity or location. There are plenty of guides on how to be a good project manager but nothing on the market explaining to clients the many ways in which they can positively influence the success of their projects – both during the planning, development and implementation stages as well as during operation and final decommissioning. The Institution of Civil Engineer (ICE) has thus embarked on a major initiative to identify best practices in United Kingdom (UK) construction project procurement and delivery, and to share it as widely among client organizations and its members as possible. Fortunately there are many examples of good client practice in the UK construction industry, as well as many organizations promoting best practice. The purpose of this unique guide is to bring these initiatives together under one banner and share their outputs across the industry for everyone’s benefit.
