Constructing Excellence in Wales

Welcome to the Constructing Excellence in Wales web site.  We are the umbrella body for the construction industry in Wales, which makes us the business improvement organisation for anyone involved with the Welsh built environment.  Funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, our remit is to improve the construction process in Wales and ensure the principles of rethinking construction outlined by the Egan and Latham reports become mainstream industry practice.

Sustainability runs through all of our work.  The built environment generates 40% of our total carbon emissions and our team is striving to educate the industry about ways to reduce carbon and minimise waste.  We run the waste programme on behalf of the Government: our goal is to help ensure 85% of construction and demolition waste is re-used or recycled.

There are three Best Practice Clubs in North, South East and South West Wales plus a young people’s Club.  They play a vital role as networking groups sharing ideas and spreading best practice.  The Demonstration Projects are central to our work and show case collaborative working, waste management, people development and benchmarking.

In a fine example of integrated team work the weekend of June 11/12 found Well Built the intrepid team of four, led by director of operations Eira Rowe, setting a record breaking pace (for them anyway) up and down Snowdon, Cadair Idris and Pen y Fan.
