The Concrete Society
 http://www.concrete.org.uk/



Founded in 1966, The Concrete Society promotes excellence in the design, specification, construction and use of concrete. The Society supports the practical use of concrete, develops then implements new ideas and innovation and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experience across all operative, technical and management disciplines. Features of this neatly designed site include details of news, vacancies and events; membership; publications; a supplier directory; and a section of useful links to other concrete and construction-related sites. Unfortunately, the reliance on Java applets means that not all features - including the menus - work in all browsers. [GAS, 24 Aug 2006].

Constructing Excellence
 http://www.constructingexcellence.org.uk/



Superseding the former Construction Best Practice Programme site, Constructing Excellence aims to achieve what it calls "a step change in construction productivity by tackling the market failures in the sector and selling the business case for continuous improvement". It explains that "through focused programmes in Innovation, Best Practice Knowledge, Productivity and Engagement, Constructing Excellence has developed a strategy to deliver the process, product and cultural changes that are needed to drive major productivity improvements in the sector". The site is an impressive resource, including coverage of research and innovation, a resource centre, news pages and details of regional events. [GAS, 15 Sep 2006].
