The Centre for Construction Innovation (CCI) was established in 1999 as a not for profit enterprise centre of the six star rated School of the Built Environment at Salford University. It has become the flagship centre for the promotion of the Rethinking Construction agenda in the North West and is host to the regions seven best practice clubs.

The industry network, which forms the basis of CCI's contact database, continues to grow and currently has over 40,000 organisations of varying sizes across the full spectrum of the construction industry. In 2007 the centre engaged with over 5000 people through its many activities.

The Centre is now an established point of reference and advice for organisations wishing to put in place the change promoted by government reports such as Rethinking Construction, Accelerating Change and the National Procurement Strategy. The centre brings together a broad range of
industry participants and academics to deliver best practice, education and training, seminars, workshops and in-company events, facilitating change by learning, debate and experience. All CCI seminars, workshops and training sessions are CPD accredited by the member organisations of the Construction Industry Council.
