Acknowledgements
I am very grateful to all the clients and colleagues, especially those within ‘Whetstone’ who have helped me hone and understand the key distinction between Outputs and Outcomes in the context of the Built Environment. There are too many to list! However a specific thank you is owed to Tom Kordel for his contribution to chapter 02. Paul Fletcher
I would like to thank the Plan of Work 2013 development team for bringing clarity to the early stages of building projects. Also, particular credit is due to the clients and project teams that I have been able to work over many years on projects at these early stages for allowing the knowledge contained here to develop. Lastly I would like to thank those involved in the procurement reform group discussions during 2013 for refocusing my thoughts on project Briefing and its link with client decision making and project outcomes.
