Providing expert-led publications that support best practice.

The built environment is changing rapidly. New technologies, evolving regulations, increasing sustainability demands, and a growing focus on quality and safety mean that construction professionals need access to reliable, practical guidance more than ever before.

That’s why we are continuing to expand the CIOB publications portfolio, ensuring that our members, including practitioners and academics, have access to the knowledge they need to navigate an increasingly complex profession.

Supporting construction professionals in a rapidly changing industry

Many people are familiar with our flagship codes of practice and guides, particularly in programme and project management. These publications have supported professionals for many years and continue to be trusted resources across the industry. However, our publishing programme extends far beyond these traditional areas.

Today, we are developing and updating guidance on a broad range of topics that are shaping the future of the built environment.

These include sustainability, information management, quality, innovation, digital transformation, and health and safety. Our goal is simple: to provide practical, authoritative resources that help professionals make informed decisions and apply best practice in their day-to-day work.

Expert-led publications that support best practice

One of the aspects I am particularly proud of is the breadth of expertise behind our publications. They are developed with the support of leading industry practitioners, subject matter experts, academics, and volunteers who generously share their knowledge to benefit the wider profession.

As a global professional body, we also recognise the importance of making knowledge accessible to members around the world. This is why several of our publications have been translated into other languages, including Chinese and Arabic, helping to extend their reach and impact across international markets. 

Many members may not realise that they already have access to a wealth of practical guidance through our Technical Information Sheets. Available at no additional cost as part of CIOB membership, these resources provide concise and accessible information on a wide variety of topics, supporting continuous professional development and everyday practice.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to growing our portfolio and responding to the needs of the profession. Whether you are a client, managing projects, leading teams, conducting research, or developing your career, our publications are designed to help you succeed.

Explore CIOB publications and share your ideas

I encourage you to explore the resources available through CIOB and discover how they can support your professional journey. After all, sharing knowledge and promoting best practice sits at the heart of what we do, and together, we can continue to raise standards across the built environment.
