Integration Toolkit project teams

The original Integration Toolkit (see below) was developed for, and adopted by, the Strategic Forum for Construction in 2003.

The refreshed Integration Toolkit aims to update the original toolkit based on additional experience gained since 2003, and to accommodate new processes and techniques developed during the same period. The team behind this ongoing project (2013 – date) includes:

• Rider Levett Bucknall
• Integrated Project Initiatives
• University of Reading’s School of Construction Management and Engineering
• BSRIA
• NEC Contracts
• Griffiths & Armour
• Laing O’Rourke
• Stepnell
• K & L Gates LLP
• ActivePlan (with pwcom.co.uk Ltd)
• Waterloo Air Products

It should be noted that the quality of the Toolkit reflects the feedback of all those consultees, both companies and individuals, through formal events, via the CBP feedback form or informally by direct contact with the drafting team – these efforts are greatly appreciated by the drafting teams.

Thanks go to Format Design for the styling of the original Toolkit and editorial support and to Garret Productions for the audiovisual introduction. Thanks also go to Dave Porter of PMMS Consulting Group for some of the diagrams in Chainlink Workbook 1/Resources, and to the DTI for their assistance with funding.
