This Spring BSI announced the appointment of a new Chairman, Nick Terry, to the newly created Construction and Built Environment Sector Policy & Strategy Committee (CBE/-).
This brings a new and refreshed approach to construction standardisation at BSI, extending the emphasis of standards beyond technical issues to include process issues of key strategic importance to the construction sector, and widening its policy remit to include standards relating to all aspects of the built environment.
This approach is the direct result of a series of DTI sponsored strategic workshops held between May 2006 and February 2007 involving all major stakeholders in the construction sector.
To complement the change in policy focus, the construction standards division will also be reorganized into seven core areas, with new advisory committees being formed to address design, structural engineering, building processes, construction products, M&E, infrastructure/water and facilities management.
