Published book + companion resources
The Pre-Construction Information Workbook
A practical guide to preparing clear, useful and proportionate PCI.
Chris Wilkinson
Pre-construction information that helps the project rather than simply filling a file.
The workbook explains what useful PCI looks like, how to gather and structure the information, how to communicate significant project-specific risks and how to keep the document proportionate as the design develops.
Worked examples show how the approach changes with project scale, existing buildings, occupied environments, surveys, information gaps and design decisions. The companion files below turn that guidance into reusable working tools.
Particularly useful for
- Construction Management
- Construction Project Management
- Health & Safety / CDM
- Building Surveying
- Design Management
- Professional practice and degree apprenticeships
