The NCCTP – Network of Construction Collaboration Technology Providers – was established in late 2003 to promote the benefits and use of collaborative technology in the construction, property, engineering and related industries. BIW CEO Colin Smith was instrumental in establishing the NCCTP, and BIW Technologies was a founder member.

The NCCTP seeks to:

• Provide a means of understanding and representing the needs of end users of collaborative technology.
• Develop and implement an agreed set of data exchange standards between all members to enable bulk transfer of data (bale out, bale in) from any one system to another.
• Develop and implement an agreed set of data exchange standards between all members to enable routine transfer of information between systems for cross-project working.
• Establish a group whose membership broadly represents the collaborative technology providers working within the construction industry and provides a vehicle to address generic market and technology issues.
• Provide an effective and efficient way for providers of collaborative technologies to engage with relevant construction industry initiatives

In August 2007, the NCCTP became a membership forum within Constructing Excellence.
