The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has launched its new CIOB Planning Protocol 2021 (also known as CIOB PP21).
Two years in the making, CIOB PP21 has been designed by a team of experts as a tool for construction parties to use to see that the construction programme they create and maintain is precise and of high-quality at every stage.

CIOB PP21 sets out criteria and associated thresholds that must be applied to the programme to make sure that quality and consistency are achieved. Its principal aim is to aid users in understanding of the requirements of an effective programme and act as planning guidelines which, if followed, allow the thresholds (stress tests) to be met. It differs from existing planning guides which are predominately software-focussed assessments of the programme.
It can be incorporated into standard form and bespoke construction agreements alike, and is capable of being used on a broad range of projects. Its various tests are easily adaptable to suit any project, whatever its level of complexity.
CIOB PP21 is free of charge and is available to download from CIOB’s website here.
Manoj Bahl, Senior Managing Director – Construction Solutions at FTI Consulting, co-author of the CIOB Planning Protocol 2021, said: “The CIOB Planning Protocol 2021 is practical tool for use by a project team when assessing the quality and suitability of a construction programme. It offers a set of clearly established standards to apply to a programme and allows for a simplified system of assessment.”
