Chris Blythe CIOB chief executive commented, "The new partnering code of practice is a practical guide to enable firms to improve their joint performance through adopting partnering.
This report captures the essence of partnering and how it can enable the industry to focus on improving their joint performance whilst providing more certainty in the construction process in terms of cost, time and quality.

I commend it to my fellow architects and to construction industry professionals in every field of specialism".
Steve Waite managing director of Mansell said, "This Code of Practice is an excellent guide and helps everyone in the industry be fairly rewarded for delivering best practice".
The book is designed to be used flexibly by a variety of readers, with coloured sections and executive summaries built into the body of the text to enable senior managers to get a quick overview of the guidance provided.
The guidance is supported by check lists, case studies and research results that help ensure everyone involved in a project knows what they need to do to match and then exceed today's best practice.
Construction clients will learn how to get high quality, reliable and fast completions, and a firm price that represents value for money.
