ABSTRACT
The Latham report recognised that the state of the wider economy remains crucial to the construction industry. The Construction Best Practice Programme provides a range of resources and services including website and helpdesk, best practice profiles, case studies, fact sheets, construction best practice partners, construction best practice clubs, learning by doing, diagnostics, key performance indicators, company visits, partner's workshops and advisers. The Constructing Excellence (CE) foundation was established under the Building Research Establishment trust enabling any trading profits generated by CE to be channelled into research and education related to its member organisations. CE has nine regional centres and thirty best practice clubs, making it one of the leading movements for change in the built environment. At the heart of Rethinking Construction is the demonstration projects programme. This provides the opportunity for leading-edge organisations to promote projects that demonstrate innovation and change and which can be measured and evaluated.
