ARCHIVE: Cash flow forecasting – UK, 1st edition, RICS guidance note (July 2011–June 2022)

Published July 2024
Effective from 01 July 2024

This practice information summarises what cash flow forecasting is, how to produce a useful forecast and how to then use the forecast to assess progress on site as well as other issues, and to assist both employers and contractors to analyse actual expenditure against forecast expenditure.

For the purposes of giving guidance the client is referred to as the 'employer' and the main contractor as 'contractor'. However, much of the guidance can equally be applied to a contractor/sub-contractor or supplier arrangement.

This is part of RICS' Black Book, which is a collection of technical practice documents that covers all processes throughout the construction project life cycle. The documents are essential development tools for junior professionals working through their APC and useful guides to best practice for more experienced professionals.

A project is currently underway to review and update the Black Book content with the aim of producing a comprehensive new suite of UK practice guidance.
