The IDE becomes a full member of CIC

THE IDE is very happy to announce they have become a full member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC).

So what is the CIC?

"The CIC exists to provide cohesion amongst the professional organisations that plan, design, construct, manage and maintain the built environment. The CIC is an umbrella body that brings together over 40 professional (‘not-for-profit’) organisations in the built environment. Most of its work is focused on liaison with government and other national authorities. It also undertakes research and produces reports and reviews, often commissioned by Government."

As the IDE explains, membership of the CIC is being viewed as an opportunity:

"By getting a seat at the table we have the opportunity to create a demolition agenda, we have the opportunity to influence at close quarters rather than having no effect at arm’s length, we have the opportunity for our professionalism to be heard."

I highly recommend you head over to the IDE website and read the full breakdown of what this membership means for the future, as written by Michael R Ulyatt.
