Drawing up a Program of Requirements (PoR)

A Program of Requirements (PoR) is a document used in a design or purchasing process. An optimal construction process starts with a detailed Program of Requirements. The PoR lists the customer’s wants and needs. A Program of Requirements is aimed at creating a clear framework for everyone involved so that they all know which criteria must be met and to enable performance to be measured. As a result, the PoR is an important guideline for the designers to ensure that the desired end result is achieved.

Construction projects are complex, extensive and affected by a maze of rules and regulations. The process involves lots of different parties, including architects, builders, project developers, clients, government authorities, sub-contractors, local residents and building committees. The Program of Requirements provides guidance for all those involved in the construction process.
