History & Values

​The Construction Institute was founded in 1976 on the idea that our industry needed a platform for clear and open dialogue among the different disciplines.  As technology and the industry were growing more complex, it became apparent that only by working together as colleagues would the AEC industry achieve its full potential. This is the heart of the Construction Institute. We call it multidisciplinary collaboration, which supports the development of multidisciplinary fluency.
