- Abstract
- This study represents the third and final phase of a comprehensive research study undertaken by the Construction Industry Institute (CII) to measure the impact of the Business Roundtable's Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness (CICE) Project. The study, directed by CII's CICE Impact Evaluation Task Force, attempts to determine the extent to which the industry has implemented CICE supported ideas and the perceived benefits that have resulted. A sample of 38 documented CICE implementation programs were evaluated for this study. Implementation programs were received from 15 owners, 18 contractors, and 5 associations. The industry's largest owners and contractors provided the majority of programs, with a few programs coming from small companies.
