The CIRIA and IHS Partnership
CIRIA is a member-based research and information organisation dedicated to improvement in the construction industry. Founded in 1960, currently there are 500 subscribing organisations. CIRIA’s work is recognised as being independent, objective and authoritative. CIRIA provides a means through which the many different stakeholders in the modern built environment can work together to identify, codify, publish and promote the emerging best practice in the industry. In this way, CIRIA continually seeks to raise the standard of excellence in the broad construction sector beyond the “lowest admissible acceptability” for designers and constructors set by the framework of legislation, statutory regulations and codes of practice. CIRIA’s primary aims are to improve the quality, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and safety in both the provision and operation of the modern built environment.
Operating in three main markets: Buildings and Facilities, Transport Infrastructure and Water and Utilities, CIRIA produce an array of publications, reports, guides and technical notes covering the following subjects and topics:
- Asset and facilities management
- Building envelope
- Coastal and marine
- Construction Process
- Contaminated land
