Influencing change

The industry is under constant pressure to improve its performance. Improvement inevitably means change in the way you work within your organisation and with others.
CIRIA works across industry sectors, along supply chains, at the interfaces between clients, regulators and suppliers, and bridges academia and industry.

CIRIA can therefore help you to implement change:

Within your organisation
by helping you to introduce the changes within your own organisations that you know are vital to its continued success.

Across your supply chain
by working with your supply chain to help communicate and reinforce your aims and ensure that supply chain companies have access to the necessary guidance to adopt new practices.

Within the industry
by identifying and overcoming the barriers that are preventing the UK construction industry offering world-class performance to its clients.

To exceed client expectations
This will enable you to be more responsive to clients' and other stakeholders’ needs.

Organisational improvement
Our Member clubs have provided a highly valued means for companies to share experiences and gain knowledge on their approach to organisational issues such as knowledge management.

Supply chain improvement
With its Environmental Performance Improvement Clubs CIRIA is enabling a number of Members to introduce awareness and performance improvements throughout their supply chains.

Improving industry practices
CIRIA guides are widely used on site and in the office.
Our site guides, covering essential topics such as crane stability, health, safety and environmental good practice can help ensure basic understanding amongst your staff and help avoid accidents, pollution or prosecution.
Our design guides help ensure you employ accepted best practice and latest thinking in your projects. Our guides cover new build, operation and maintenance of building and civil engineering structures.

Meeting stakeholders’ needs
CIRIA involves regulators, environment and other campaign groups, and other stakeholders in its work alongside the industry leading to a greater mutual understanding of issues.
