Capturing Client Requirements in Construction Projects

At the heart of the construction industry are the clients, who initiate and finance construction projects. The acknowledged importance of clients as the driving force in the construction industry has led to repeated calls for the construction industry to deliver better value-for-money. At the same time clients are also being challenged to be responsible in their dealings with the industry.

As a result, it is vital that designers and contractors understand their clients' businesses in order that they may provide what the client wants.
