The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is the professional body for construction management. For larger care home projects, a CIOB-chartered project manager adds professional accountability.
Why this matters
On projects over GBP 100,000, professional oversight from a chartered construction manager reduces risk of cost overrun, programme slippage and building defects.
What to do
- 1For projects over GBP 100,000, ask whether the project manager holds MCIOB or FCIOB status.
- 2Verify CIOB membership at ciob.org/find-a-professional.
- 3For smaller works, focus on trade-specific certifications rather than CIOB membership.
- 4Always require a written contract for any building work.
