Client Guides

These guides are a series of publications, commissioned by the CIOB, to provide guidance to those clients with little or no experience of the construction industry.

They provide practical advice on how to use the three main approaches to construction: management, design build and traditional, as well as how partnering can be used to best effect with each approach. They explain, in layman's terms, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and how to work with the industry to ensure the best possible result for the client.
