There are various kinds of clients. It is possible to classify them on basis of their orders for

constructions and their capacity to design and build them:

Clients with a one off construction requirement Organizations that regularly undertake development, but

rely

wholly

on

external

resources

or

agencies

to

implement them
Organizations with major development programs, directly

employing technically skilled staff

Private
Private clients are sole traders or domestic

clients who would like to have a house building altered, extended or maintained. They enter into private agreements with a builder to undertake the work.

Commercial
A commercial client is a factory or business

that needs to undertake building works in order to produce a product or process.

Public limited companies

A public limited company, such as a bank,

is one that trades on the stock exchange and is owned by its shareholders.

The Government
The Government can issue work at three

different levels: through local councils, devolved administrations (Welsh Assembly and Scottish Parliament), and central government.

Depending on the type of client and the buildings they require the type of tenders which can be used or which are to be used, can be selected.

Ex: If some road or bridge has been collapsed and need it to be constructed soon then the government would probably go for a nomination.

Client must first define what is wanted from the project and from the consultant engaged to undertake it. In general a client aims to appoint a team which he can trust and rely on to reduce uncertainties during a buildings design, construction and use. This is achieved by control of the following:
The design x By designing to a budget, taking advantage of the contractors experience, avoiding excessive use of new systems, designing for buildability, safety, security, producing a good life expectancy and low maintenance, allowing flexibility for future change and employing environmental and energy efficient designs;

 The time
x By contractors accepting more responsibility for meeting completion dates, and designers being more aware of the importance of complete information well in advance of work on site

The cost
x By achieving realistic cost estimates and tenders which reflect the final cost, reducing risk of contractual claims stemming from poor documentation and late receipt of information, and avoiding delays which can cause loss of revenue and costly funding arrangements
