Chapter 2 takes the reader through the process of procuring a building or structure for a client. The drivers of and influences upon the sustainability of appropriate procurement procedures are described. Standards and guidance, such as BS8903, BREAAM, and UK government guidance, are discussed. The establishment of a procurement route and the importance of a relevant project brief are key aspects of this chapter, leading to discussions about integrated supply teams and contractual arrangements that will not impede sustainable procurement.
