The CIOB has released an updated best practice guide for time management in construction and civil engineering projects.
The new guide is an update of the 2010, Guide to Good Practice in the Management of Time in Major Projects.
The publication was an integral part of the CIOB’s strategy to provide standards, education, training and accreditation in time management. The latest edition emphasises dynamic, strategic time modelling as the way to manage time and cost in major projects.

As construction projects become bigger and bigger delayed completion can can affect costs, reputation and sometimes even the survival of the contracting parties themselves.
The update includes new material, such as a chapter distinguishing the principal features of the dynamic time model and its development throughout the life of a project, from inception to completion.
It also includes new appendices covering matters such as complexity in construction and engineering projects, productivity guides and a number of case studies.
Keith Pickavance, author and Past President of the CIOB, said: “On major projects the failure strategically to manage time so often proves disastrous, not just for the contractor but also for the client, its consultants, and for the rest of the supply chain.
“This guide is a step-by-step illustration of how the parties can work collaboratively to meet this challenge using traditional project procurement routes or the most advanced BIM, from the adoption of a workable time-management strategy through to the day to day detail of risk management, using a predictive time model.”
