October 5, 2007—The new Scottish Construction Centre (SCC), an initiative driven by the real needs of the Scottish construction sector to encourage best practices and innovative construction excellence, was officially launched at the Parliament building at Holyrood in September.
The SCC was established with initial funding from Scottish Enterprise, in response to recent industry consultations and a report that included a recommendation to establish a center that would concentrate on improving the performance of the Scottish construction industry through increased innovation and the sharing of best practice.
The SCC will work closely with the Scottish Construction Forum, which focuses on providing strategic advice to the industry, the Scottish Government, and the Scottish Parliament.
Initial progress from The SCC includes the establishment of four regional “nodes” in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, the creation of a “one-door” technical helpline for the industry, and the development of the SCC KPI framework.
