Approved contractor
The Code of Estimating Practice, seventh edition, published by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) in 2009 suggests that 'approved contractors' are:
| …those who have demonstrated that they have the expertise, resources, ability and desire to tender for a proposed project. Selection of such contractors is normally by pre-selection procedures. |
