Industry Improvement
The terms of reference of the CIC Industry Improvement Committee
are to:
- consider strategies to improve and sustain standards of quality,
harmony and efficiency within the construction industry;
- promote good practice in the construction industry for those
matters in which members of CIC have common interests;
- work effectively with other organisations having common interests;
- hold under review legislative developments in the United Kingdom
and in Europe in order to discharge these objectives; and
- provide a forum to develop the collective views of consultants
in construction with a view to promoting their professional and
business interests.
The Improvement Committee is an umbrella for a number of ‘standing’ Panels.
These comprise:
- Diversity;
- Health & Safety;
- Liability; and
- Procurement.
From time to time when need dictates, ad hoc sub-committees,
known as ‘Response Groups’, for short term issues,
or ‘Task Forces’, for longer term matters, are
formed to address issues of the moment. Currently these comprise:
- Online Bidding RG;
- Partnering TF;
- Project Insurance RG; and
- Project Management TF.
