ABSTRACT
Converting unnecessary costs into lower prices for clients and higher and more assured profits for supply-side firms, and providing clients with tangible evidence of radically improved and integrated working practices are the two powerful and sound commercial reasons why firms on the supply-side of the construction industry ought to adopt the totally integrated approach described in the three best practice standards, namely the Confederation of Construction Clients’ Charter Handbook, the National Audit Office Report, Modernising Construction, and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport Report, Better Public Buildings.
