Discussion Papers

Industry is acutely aware of the need for the most efficient and effective delivery of services from capital works assets, whether in the public or private sector. To do so when resources are limited, but demand for services and assets is growing, requires all parts of the construction industry to continually review and improve how community expectations are best met.

 

Summaries of the Draft Guides are published in this issue of The Building Economist. They have been prepared by a joint working group of the Australian Procurement and Construction Council (APCC) and the Australian Construction Industry Forum (ACIF).
