Leading members of the Canadian construction industry through the National Steering Committee for Innovation in Construction (NSCIC) recognized the need for industry to take the lead in addressing the many issues related to fostering innovation in the Canadian construction industry. With the support of the Canadian Construction Association they have created the Canadian Construction Innovation Council (CCIC) to co-ordinate an innovation strategy for the Canadian construction industry:

Vision

Canada will be a world class model of innovation for the construction industry.

Mission

To be the recognized leader in promoting industry-wide collaboration to enhance innovation, productivity, quality and value in construction resulting in a Canadian construction industry that provides world-class products and services.

To be the voice of institutional, commercial, industrial and heavy construction innovation in Canada.

The CCIC, in collaboration with all partners involved in the construction industry, will provide leadership in promoting and coordinating research and innovation in and for the Canadian construction industry. The CCIC will identify needs and opportunities for industry related research and innovation, develop national innovation priorities, set targets for assessing industry performance, promote technology transfer and champion innovation issues affecting the institutional, commercial and industrial sections.

Deliverables

CCIC will provide the following to the Canadian construction industry:

• Greater access to, and adoption of, innovations that will lead to improved productivity and profitability for the construction industry.
• The identification and prioritization of key issues requiring attention and the mobilization of collaborative responses to major threats and opportunities.
• Increased funding for innovation and technology development in the construction industry and improved the allocation of funds to better reflect industry priorities.
• Demonstration projects to help overcome barriers to the adoption of innovation and to facilitate the rapid dissemination and adoption of new innovations, technologies and practices.
• Closer working linkages with other design and construction related organizations to improve synergies and to develop a united voice for the industry on innovation.
• The establishment of national goals to help the industry focus its drive for improvement and the monitoring of success.

The CCIC is committed to creating an innovative construction industry that provides the best socioeconomic value for Canada.
