CIRIA is the construction industry research and information association.

Operating across market sectors and disciplines we deliver a programme of business improvement services and research activities for our members and those engaged with the delivery and operation of the built environment. CIRIA is an independent member based, not-for-profit association.

Information services

Our activities place us in a unique position to gain an early insight into policy and regulation development, changing operating environments and new developments in construction techniques and materials.

Newsletters, briefings and events supported by the CIRIA knowledgebase are designed to keep members informed on developments affecting both construction and the wider built environment.

Conferences and events

Our rolling programme of conferences and events is designed to raise awareness, share knowledge and to promote discussion on new and emerging topics.

Training and CPD

Our training courses, training packs and CPD events cover a wide range of construction and built environment related topics. We also organise in-house training.

Publications

The majority of our research projects and activities culminate in the publishing of guidance documents, many of which have been adopted as the standard for excellence in their respective areas. CIRIA Members can also access these guides on-line, via the knowledgebase.
