Supporting better construction practices
CLF recognises that a strong construction industry requires more than professional expertise. It also requires sound policies, effective regulation, appropriate standards and responsible professional practice.
The Forum therefore seeks to contribute to informed conversations on issues affecting the construction sector, including building standards, regulations, contractual practices, dispute resolution and other matters of public and professional interest.
