WHO WE ARE
Delegates from 16 countries
CEEC is carried by its member organisations and their delegates — construction economists who meet twice a year and work together in between.
WHAT WE STAND FOR.
There are over 100,000 members of organisations representing the discipline of the construction economist in Europe, whose education, training and professional standards are supervised by professional bodies, the principal ones being members of CEEC. Those bodies constitute the membership of the CEEC.
The profession of construction economist has developed along different lines in each of those European states and through the CEEC the profession exchanges information, research, knowledge and practical experience in order to promote best practice. The CEEC works closely with contractors and their clients and with our professional colleagues in the related disciplines of architect, engineering, building surveyors, building control inspectors and project managers.
Among the primary aims of CEEC are to:
- Establish guidelines for the definition, content, practice and supervision of construction economics
- Co-ordinate working methods
- Facilitate the exchange of information and experience
- Promote basic and continuing education of construction economics
- Promote the furtherance of the profession of construction economist
- The profession in Europe has greatly benefited from the pan-European membership and continues to develop its uniquely practical contribution to ensure value for money at all levels of the construction industry
- The present work programme of the CEEC ensures that matters of concern to those whom construction economists serve are addressed in the most effective and professional manner

Frequently asked questions
What is CEEC?
CEEC (Conseil Européen des Economistes de la Construction / The European Council of Construction Economists) is the European knowledge hub for construction economists. Founded in 1979, it links the professional bodies of 16 European countries to share best practice, cost data and international standards, and to promote the profession of the construction economist.
When and where is the next CEEC General Assembly?
The next General Assembly, the 95th, will take place in Istanbul, Türkiye; details follow on the Meetings page. The most recent one, the 94th, was held on 1–3 October 2026 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, hosted by the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) — the first General Assembly outside Europe.
What does CEEC produce between its meetings?
Delegates develop shared tools and publications: the Office and Infrastructure (Road) Cost Models for cross-country cost comparison, the European Standards & Norms survey, construction market monitors published with RICS, the European Code of Measurement, and contributions to the International Cost Management Standard (ICMS).
How is CEEC related to RICS?
RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) is the United Kingdom member organisation of CEEC. The two also cooperate on joint publications such as the construction market monitors and the ICMS coalition.
The operation of CEEC is funded by its members but we have sponsorship opportunities to support our project and education initiatives. If you would like to discuss sponsorship of our current or future projects please contact the General Secretary, info@ceecorg.eu.
