Introducing the new Client Guide and revised CIRIA Archaeology and construction: good practice guidance
Archaeology is a necessary and positive element of many construction projects, and the successful management of archaeology as part of construction is integral to sustainable development.
The CIRIA guide shows how combined construction and archaeological processes can be managed by an integrated, multi-disciplinary team working to common goals, to generate products and outcomes that deliver significant commercial, sustainability and public value. It offers practical advice applicable to all scales of construction project and relevant to all stages in the construction and development life cycle.It emphasises the public and commercial benefits that archaeology brings, adding value to business and society, and explains how those benefits can be achieved by working with CIfA-accredited archaeologists and Registered Organisations.
The Client Guide is aimed at anyone who needs to meet the requirements of legislation or policy that relate to archaeology. It explains what you need to do and why you need a professional archaeologist to help you through the process. Following this guide will increase your chances of reaping benefits from your archaeological work and avoiding some of the possible hazards of working in the historic environment.
