Production information: a code of procedure for the construction industry

Production information: a code of procedure for the construction industry

The aim of this Code is to provide practical guidance on the preparation of good production drawings, specifications and schedules of work by making optimum use of widely adopted computer systems.

The target readership for this Code comprises four groups:

  • Clients of the industry who will be interested in better service and value for money for their projects and who will wish to encourage the changes in practice needed to achieve this.
  • Designers, whether they be consultant architects, structural, civil or service engineers, specialist constructors or component manufacturers.
  • Education and training establishments that prepare those mentioned above for a career in construction.
  • Providers of CPD.

Although this Code mostly refers to building projects the principles apply equally to civil engineering projects. The principles of information sharing and common modelling processes can be adopted and extended to cover civil engineering production drawings. The principles of specification preparation can similarly be adopted for civil engineering projects.

Production information: a code of procedure for the construction industry is available from RIBA Bookshops.
