The European Construction Institute (ECI) is Europe's only transnational network of construction excellence. It brings together many of the most innovative clients, contractors, specialists and support organisations in Europe to develop and share knowledge aimed at improving the entire construction supply chain.
Developing Knowledge
ECI research is carried out by dedicated research taskforces. These combine the expertise of academic partners and indsutry practitioners. Further information
We are also linked to other research-based construction organisations.
ECI has a wide range of publications, produced by our research taskforces and industry experts, which uniquely represent European best practice. They are of the highest quality and intended to provide practical information to aid continued performance enhancement. Our publications are available on the open market, but are either free or at a reduced price for members. Further information
