The document titled 'Time for Change' discusses the legal and practical aspects of time management in construction and engineering projects, highlighting the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) reforms. It is divided into two main parts: legal aspects by Mark Lloyd-Williams and practical aspects along with CIOB reforms by Keith Pickavance. Here's a summarised overview:
Legal Aspects of Time Management: Focuses on the importance of managing time in construction projects, noting that disputes often revolve around delays and cost overruns. It emphasises the complexity of claims related to delays and the challenges in documenting and proving entitlements to extensions of time or additional payments.
Practical Aspects and CIOB Reforms: Highlights the practical challenges of time management on construction sites, including the reliance on outdated methods and the lack of collaboration among project participants. It underscores the findings from a CIOB survey that showed poor time management practices, especially in complex projects, and proposes a four-stage initiative aimed at improving standards, education, training, and recognition in the field of construction time management.
The document advocates for better planning, scheduling, and management of construction projects to avoid delays and disputes, and calls for industry-wide adoption of the CIOB's proposed standards and reforms to enhance overall project delivery and efficiency.
