Provides practical guidance to those involved in the commissioning or procurement of project management services, as well as RICS members undertaking the role of project manager in relation to building works contracts.

Whilst the content of this guidance note contains textual material which is still current and able to be used in practice, it is acknowledged that a number of references in the Appendices are now out of date and need to be changed to reflect the subsequent publication of other documents (such as the RIBA Plan of Work, JCT and NEC contracts and the like). A revision to this guidance note will occur at the same time as the revised consultant appointment documents are published later this year. In the meantime, users should take care and bear this in mind when making use of this guidance note.
