Construction Industry Institute (CII,) based at The University of Texas at Austin, is a consortium of more than 130 leading owner, engineering-contractor, and supplier firms from public and private arenas.
These organizations have joined together to enhance the business effectiveness and sustainability of the capital facility life cycle through CII research, related initiatives, and industry alliances.
CII was established in October 1983 to improve the competitive position of U.S. businesses in the global market. Its 28 charter members were responding to the recommendations from a study by The Business Roundtable entitled the Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness (CICE) Project.
