Our Vision for the Future
1. National industry steering body which defines long‐term R&D priorities, and funds research in public organisations.
2. Government procurement to support construction innovation and supply matching funds for strategic R&D.
3. Research institutes with interdisciplinary capabilities to provide expertise for the Australian construction industry.
This vision is underpinned by a culture of self‐improvement, mutual recognition, respect and support.
