Sharing Best Practices

Sharing best practice underpins pretty much everything that we do at CEW but we can only do this with the support of the industry. This is the proven way to raise standards across the industry by sharing innovation. 

Our Best Practice Programmes include our Exemplar and Demonstration programmes. Find out how to take part in these by accessing our website. The exemplar programme is underpinned by the principles of sustainable development: economic performance; environmental benefits and social wellbeing. Those who take part in this programme show how these 3 criteria are best balanced to deliver sustainable projects. On the other hand our demonstration programme focuses more on a specific aspect of best practice or innovation in a project. It’s been running for over 10 years and many of the innovative practices showcased via this programme have since become standard practices across the construction industry. 

If you want to view any of our case studies follow this link to our map based tool – and don’t forget to give us your feedback via Twitter or LinkedIn. 

In addition to our case studies CEW and its three best practice Clubs have recently developed a How2 Guide which offers examples and suggestions as to how greater value can be driven through the construction process. The guide, although constantly being updated as new guidance and best practices are developed, sets out how different actions at different stages of a project can lead to better outcomes – giving far greater value for the investment. 

Again your input to this guide will be invaluable to its continuing development – the more everyone puts in the more everyone gets out. Any feedback via the How2 Twitter link @how2cew would also be welcome and will be considered by the best practice clubs prior to updating the guide.
