The Construction Industry Council aims to provide a single voice for professionals in all sectors of the built environment in the UK through its collective membership of 500,000 individual construction professionals and 25,000 firms of construction consultants. As representative of the views of professionals, it has a seat on the government/industry body, the Strategic Forum for Construction.
The Construction Industry Council also represents the views of the higher level of the industry (professional, managerial and technical) in ConstructionSkills, the Sector Skills Council for construction. ConstructionSkills is a partnership between CIC, CITB-ConstructionSkills and CITB Northern Ireland.
The Construction Industry Council developed and operates the Design Quality Indicator (DQI) tool to measure the design quality of buildings.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
