You should be demanding when selecting all the team members for your project team. Team members should be really committed to giving you what you want.

The Construction Clients' Charter has been developed by clients for clients with construction industry and government support. The Charter creates the right framework for the bargain between you and your project team.
Follow Charter principles to keep your side of the bargain. Expect and ensure that your project team responds to the principles too.
