About Us

CCI is the flagship centre for Rethinking Construction in the North West and the main hub for innovation and change in the Northwest’s built environment sector.  Established in 1999, it has an excellent track record in exchanging, demonstrating and implementing best practice; promoting and managing cultural change; and, ultimately, delivering a safe, sustainable and continuously improving built environment sector.  We have over 30 in-house team members who work closely with and for public, private and third-sector bodies throughout the Northwest and across the United Kingdom, delivering improvements in procurement, collaborative working, leadership and management, construction and the built environment.  They offer one-to-one business assists and consultancy, performance measurement and reviews, action learning, training, best practice clubs, networking events, 3-D visualisation, space for events and meetings, and various other services.  CCI also manages and/or delivers major improvement programmes and projects, including

• NWDA's Northwest Construction Knowledge Hub – helping small and medium-sized enterprises to be more productive, more efficient and environmentally friendly
• NWDA's Sustainable Buildings Northwest
• ConstructionSkills' Women and Work: Sector Pathways Initiative.
