Strategic Forum for
Construction
Integration Toolkit (UK) |
The Integration Toolkit is a pan-industry
framework offering best practice information, advice, guidance and
training for companies of all sizes from public and private clients
through to component manufacturers.
The two arms of the Toolkit - the
Integrated Project Team and the Integrated Supply Chain - go
into the practical detail of how to start, manage and finish a project
using the principles of Integration, and offer signposts and pointers to
provide further guidance for integrating the construction industry. |
|
A series of Regional Roll-Out Events were
conducted around the UK between February and June 2004, to introduce the
Integration Toolkit to members of the Construction Industry.
Further events are being considered and
will be announced by
the
Strategic Forum for Construction in due
course.
|
The Integration Toolkit has already
attracted a number of high-profile projects - valued at £207million -
wishing to be Integrated Demonstration Projects. |
|
The Association of Construction Performance Advisors |
The
Association of Construction Performance Advisors
has been set up nationally in the UK to provide training and consultancy
support resulting from an interest in business improvement via the
methodologies of the Integration Toolkit.
Members of the
ACPA have been listed together with their skills, so that they
can be viewed by interested organisations. Membership is personal,
not corporate.
Skills matrices have been provided so that
appropriately experienced members can be chosen.
Members of each region meet periodically so
as to maintain a regional standard. There are also less frequent national
meetings. |
|
The Association of Construction
Performance Advisors has been set up
regionally and there are four regional teams:
|
The North and Scotland (including Northern Ireland) |
|
The Midlands |
|
The South West and Wales |
|
The London and the South East |
Michael Thompson is Chairman of the
national committee for the Association and Regional Coordinator
for The North and Scotland.

"Large clients like
the Office for Government Commerce, NHS Estates, Department of Education
and Skills, Defence Estates, BAA, Lloyds TSB, Construction Clients Group
and the Local Government Task for have all provided great statements of
support" - Martin Davis, Chairman of the Integration Toolkit
