The CIOB Planning Protocol 2021 (CIOB PP21), a technical information sheet published by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) in February 2021, defines finish-start logic as: ‘…logic between activities/milestones which specifies the sequence that the predecessor activity is to finish before the successor activity is to start.’
