Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) creates technical documents that concern the built environment.

The CIOB/IHS partnership gives IHS the rights to reproduce CIOB publications within The Construction Information Service, an expert knowledge tool that delivers key technical information critical to all.

The most downloaded CIOB documents from The Construction Information Service:

• Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development. 2nd edition 
• Code of Estimating Practice. 6th edition 
• Planning and Programming in Construction: A Guide to Good Practice 
• Building Procurement Systems - A Guide to Building Project Management. 2nd edition 
• Building Services Technology and Design
  

The CIOB has over 42,000 members, which are drawn from a wide range of professional disciplines working within building and construction supply chains and are skilled managers and professionals with a common commitment to achieving and maintaining the highest possible standards.

Chartered Member status, represented by the designations MCIOB and FCIOB, is recognised internationally as the mark of a true professional in the construction industry.

With its increasing international membership and growing profile in the UK, the CIOB is making a hugely influential contribution to one of the world's most important industries.

Personal and professional development of members is a priority for the CIOB. Work in this area focuses on raising standards in building, setting the benchmark for the quality of education and training provided to those entering or working in the industry.

If you have multiple individuals and departments regularly accessing standards, then an online standards solution from IHS may be more cost effective for you.

IHS Online Standards Solution

The IHS online solution provides company-wide access to the standards you need from a collection of over 1.3 million standards documents. Whether you require documents from a single standards developing organization (SDO), multiple SDOs, segments and packages assembled by IHS content experts, or any combination in between, you can build your own standards library. The online standards management platform - IHS Standards Expert™ - furnishes you with the most comprehensive worldwide collection of industry specifications and standards.  Information is updated daily with easy, intuitive searching, navigation, and monitoring from any desktop.

Custom Online Standards Collection

If you need a collection of individual standards/documents, then the IHS custom standards collection works best for you. This option allows the greatest flexibility allowing you to pick and choose specific documents, whether they come from one or more SDOs. IHS does not require that you purchase a minimum number of documents to use this option. Your custom collection allows for multiple users at multiple locations to access the documents you have chosen.

Individual Purchase

All standards are also available for purchase as individual documents through the IHS Standards Store in PDF or hard copy formats. 

Deposit Accounts

Deposit accounts are a great way for a customer with online access to obtain the individual standards they need. Using a deposit account, an online customer can obtain PDF and hard copy documents outside of their online subscription. For the hard copy customer, this is perfect way to control purchasing and reduce paperwork. Most documents and publications purchased through a deposit account received a 10% discount from the regular price. To create your deposit account, simply download this pdf, fill it out and return it to the address noted on the form. A minimum $500 (US) is required to set up your deposit account.
