Constructing Excellence

Constructing Excellence is the single organisation driving change in construction. Improving industry performance to produce a better built environment. Our Movement operates at a national, regional and local level within the UK – and increasingly internationally too. We have a network of 9 regional centres covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These are separate organisations which carry the brand with a mission to deliver into that region or nation, often working closely with a university. We also have over 30 local best practice clubs, each with their own independent volunteer committee, which reach out locally to SMEs by providing monthly breakfast or evening meetings, typically with a speaker on a Constructing Excellence theme and with the natural bi-product of networking. Our history dates back over 2 decades to the Latham and Egan reports, which remain key to our agenda. The London Olympics and the Construction Commitments that were produced to aid their successful delivery were an important milestone in the journey so far. Our own Never Waste a Good Crisis report in 2010 sought to help the industry prepare for the recession.
