Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development

In 1991 the Chartered Institute of Building initiated amulti-institute task force and a Code of Practice for ProjectManagement was published in 1992, with a second edition in 1996.Like previous editions, this third edition has been substantiallyrevised to embody the results of intensive consultation between theCIOB and representatives of the professional bodies concerned withconstruction and development.
The Code is divided into two sections:
* * the first covers eight stages associated with projects frominception to completion, each one well supported with diagrams,flowcharts and checklists
* the second section contains a project handbook, complete withguidance documentation and checklists.
The third edition features new guidance on:
* * project planning
* EU procurement procedures
* performance management plan
* partnering
* project risk assessment
* environmental impact assessment
* procurement options and
* value for money framework.
Effective project management involves the assessment andmanagement of risk, and this is a strong theme throughout theCode.
The Code of Practice provides an authoritative guide to theprinciples and practice of construction project management. It willbe a key reference source for clients, contractors andprofessionals, irrespective of the size and nature of the project.Much of the information is also relevant to project managers inother commercial spheres.
