A Constructing Excellence Club is a forum for individuals to learn about the principles of Best Practice, while creating a culture and local support network of continuous improvement. It offers the opportunity for an informal group of highly developed, innovative people to learn from each other, share that knowledge, and ultimately improve their business.

The Demonstration Programme highlights projects where innovation and best practice are carried out and measured. The programme provides the opportunity for leading organisations, from every part of construction, to bring forward exemplars that demonstrate innovation and change, which can be measured, evaluated and shared.

WMCCE can support business improvement programmes to help implement best practice and innovation. These services are subsidised or in some cases fully-funded for eligible companies in the West Midlands region. The programmes aim to help companies increase productivity, improve business processes, implement innovative technologies, adopt best practice and train the workforce.
