Our Pedigree

In the mid-nineties a wide spread recognition arose of the need for the construction industry to improve the service it provided to its clients while also ensuring future viability for the wide range of organisations that operated in the industry.

In response to Sir Michael Latham's 1994 report 'Constructing the Team' and Sir John Egan's 1998 report 'Rethinking Construction' a number of cross industry bodies were formed to drive change. 

These included:

• Reading Construction Forum
• Design Build Foundation
• Construction Best Practice Programme
• Movement for Innovation
• Local Government Task Force
• Rethinking Construction
• Be
• Constructing Excellence
• Construction Clients' Group

Significant progress has been made in driving these initiatives into the practicing industry with many examples of projects that have been run in accordance with the fundamental principles.

In order to streamline the effort involved, all the above cross industry bodies were united as Constructing Excellence in 2003 to form a powerful, influential voice for improvement in the built environment sector.
