RIBA Client Advisers a service promoting high quality and best value in building.

• Do you have a strategy or masterplan in place for all your buildings and premises?
• Have you fully weighed up the pros and cons of all the options – for example new-build, refurbishment, extension?
• Do you know whether the chosen option will answer all of your needs?
• Are you confident of getting best value at every step of the project?
• How future-proof will the project be, and how sustainable?
• Do you know the best procurement route to take?

When considering the built environment, the most important decisions are the ones made at the very inception, before the planning and design stages and long before any bricks are laid. It is at this early stage that the success, or otherwise, of your project is decided.

Getting answers to questions such as the ones above is a challenge for any construction client, whether it is their first project or their 50th.

You need sound, impartial and informed advice. For many of the world’s most successful clients, that role is filled by an experienced construction professional with the job of overseeing both the procurement process and its product. Having this adviser on board from the earliest stages can help bring certainty and control to the whole enterprise, and safeguard your investment.

You can do the same. An RIBA Client Adviser will work with you to help define and then help deliver the best long-term solution for your organisation, one that will fulfil all the original aims and requirements of the project.
