Key definition

CIOB definition

What does CIOB mean? In construction law and procurement, “CIOB” refers to the chartered institute of building, the chartered professional body for construction management and leadership. The term is not defined in legislation or case law; it is a descriptive shorthand used in contracts, appointments and tender documents to specify qualifications or standards (for example, requiring personnel to be MCIOB/FCIOB or to comply with the CIOB Code of Conduct). CIOB operates under a Royal Charter. It accredits education, sets professional and ethical standards, confers chartered designations (Chartered Construction Manager/Chartered Builder) and maintains a complaints and disciplinary regime. In practice, CIOB membership can be cited...

CIOB Time and Cost Management Contract 2015: key features, drafting points and administration of time, cost, BIM, concurrency, early warnings, caps on liability, issue and dispute resolution, and termination

Published by a LexisNexis Construction expert

Practice notes

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) issued the 'CIOB Contract for Use with Complex Projects, First Edition 2013' (CPC 2013) in April 2013, aligning it with the principles set out in the CIOB’s Guide to Good Practice in the Management of Time in Complex Projects (the CIOB Guide).

Drafted with a clear emphasis on the management of time in complex construction and engineering projects, the form prioritised programme control.

It broke new ground as the first standard form contract to address Building Information Modelling (BIM) in detail, and it advocated a collaborative stance on design.

In November 2015, CPC 2013 was replaced by a revised edition of the contract, retitled the ' 2015' (TCM 2015).

Most of CPC 2013’s provisions were carried forward into TCM 2015, with moderate redrafting prompted by customer feedback, together with some restructuring and changes to clause numbering.

Where more significant differences between CPC 2013 and TCM 2015 need attention, this Practice Note highlights them.

Accordingly, continuity between the two editions was largely preserved.

What projects is TCM 2015 suitable for?

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
