What Is the Purpose of the Construction Brain Trust? The purpose of this initiative is to improve the construction contracting process and maintain professional relationships with all interested parties involved in the process The success of this effort is contingent on open and honest discussion (exchange of information) from industry and GSA employees, which is the rationale for the composition of the membership of the Construction Brain Trust

The Construction Brain Trust Will Focus on: Reviewing new processes and legislation, participating in conferences and seminars and working with the regions to develop innovative ways to purchase construction

Our Objectives To have an improved construction process that is both effective and efficient to insure the best value for the Government when procuring construction We will accomplish this by: * Identifying and promoting innovative processes * Identifying and maintaining relationships with GSA policy offices and regions and private industry to improve our construction processes
