The Construction Industry Collective Voice (CICV) brings together leading construction trade and professional bodies, gathering intelligence, sharing advice and speaking directly with the Scottish Government on issues affecting the industry.
Formerly known as the Construction Industry Coronavirus (CICV) Forum, it was rebranded in January 2022 to reflect its wider remit. The CICV now includes representatives from 29 professional bodies and also benefits from the input of more than 25 other organisations who contribute their expertise to the sub-groups listed below.
What we’re doing
By pooling expertise and knowledge, the CICV represents the interests of Scotland’s diverse construction supply chain with one consistent voice. CICV priorities include lobbying the Scottish Government to influence policy and to push for positive action, and to give expert focus to important sector issues including commercial, employment, planning for the future, skills, and health and safety.
In addition, our Communications sub-group is responsible for the CICV’s social media, website and press, as well as the creation of all brochures, animations and other guidance:
