Industry body, the Strategic Forum for Construction has been restructured to spread overheads around its member organisations and to address the ongoing workload.

From 1 January, the Forum will comprise six core organisations: Construction Industry Council; Construction Clients Group; Construction Confederation; Construction Products Association; a joint trades unions group and a joint group of the National Specialist Contractors Council and Specialist Engineering Contractors Group.

The CIC will head up the forum until June 2006.
