## History

The first proposals for a Building Industry Council were made in 1985 (backed by the Chartered Institute of Building, Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers) but came to nothing. A further attempt followed in 1987 with support from the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the BIC was publicly launched on 16 September 1987. However, it was more than a year before a first meeting, including the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, took place on 1 November 1988.[4] The body was incorporated in May 1999, and with the Institution of Civil Engineers then a member, changed its name to the Construction Industry Council in April 1990.[5]

## Activities

CIC provides a single voice for professionals across the built environment through its collective membership of 500,000 individual professionals and more than 25,000 firms of construction consultants.[1] The breadth and depth of its membership means that CIC (like a small number of other bodies, including Constructing Excellence) can speak with authority on issues connected with construction without being constrained by the self-interest of any particular sector of the industry.

As representative of the views of professionals, it has a seat on the government/industry body, the Strategic Forum for Construction.

Construction Industry Council developed and operates the Design Quality Indicator (DQI) tool to measure the design quality of buildings.

CICAIR Limited, a specially created wholly owned subsidiary of CIC, is the sole body authorised to approve Approved Inspectors to undertake building control work in England and Wales.[6]

## Organisation

Construction Industry Council's work is managed on a day-to day basis by a small secretariat which works under the direction of the Chief Executive who is responsible to the Council. The Board acts as the main policy and strategy vehicle of the Council.

### Chair

From June 2023, CIC is set to have its first female chair: Dr Wei Yang (a town planner and past president of the Royal Town Planning Institute). Her appointment also puts women in the majority on the CIC board.[14]

Full members, as of February 2022,[15] are:
