Activities

The Building Industry Council was established in 1988 with five founder members, holding its first meeting on 1 November 1988,[4] and the body was incorporated in May 1999. It changed its name to the Construction Industry Council in April 1990.[5]

The CIC provides a single voice for professionals across the built environment through its collective membership of 500,000 individual professionals and more than 25,000 firms of construction consultants.[1] The breadth and depth of its membership means that CIC (like a small number of other bodies, including Constructing Excellence) can speak with authority on issues connected with construction without being constrained by the self-interest of any particular sector of the industry.

As representative of the views of professionals, it has a seat on the government/industry body, the Strategic Forum for Construction.

The Construction Industry Council developed and operates the Design Quality Indicator (DQI) tool to measure the design quality of buildings.

CICAIR Limited, a specially created wholly owned subsidiary of the CIC, is the sole body authorised to approve Approved Inspectors to undertake building control work in England and Wales.[6]

Organisation

The Construction Industry Council's work is managed on a day-to day basis by a small secretariat which works under the direction of the Chief Executive who is responsible to the Council. The Executive Board acts as the main policy and strategy vehicle of the Council.
