The Role of Early Contractor Involvement

CCBP has launched a new research project on the role of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) in public sector construction projects. This is a contractor-led initiative, designed to gather real-world data and insights on how ECI can improve public sector projects. By taking our survey, you will help us build a strong, evidence-based case for a more collaborative approach to project delivery.

Pioneering Sustainability
Design Excellence CCBP champions the advancement of architectural and engineering design by integrating research and cutting-edge technology. This focus area aims to push the boundaries of creativity and functionality, ensuring design solutions are not only practical but holistic and sustainable.
Advanced Materials CCBP pioneers the exploration and adoption of new, sustainable materials, enhancing construction efficiency and environmental responsibility. The focus is on discovering materials that offer better performance, longevity, and reduced environmental impact, revolutionising construction practices.
Innovative Methodologies CCBP champions constructing in the safest, most cost-effective, and efficient manner possible. This involves exploring and implementing new construction methodologies that optimise resource use, reduce waste, enhance safety, and reduce risk, thus transforming traditional construction processes.
Emerging Technologies Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and Building Information Modeling (BIM), CCBP aims to improve project outcomes across all stages – design, delivery, and operation. This focus on technology is key to driving efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration in construction projects.
Pioneering Sustainability CCBP is dedicated to effectively delivering on the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic, and environmental. This involves developing and promoting practices that balance societal needs, economic viability, and environmental stewardship, ensuring a sustainable future for the construction industry.
