Government Construction Construction Task Group Core and Affiliate Membership March 2012
The work of delivering the Government Construction Strategy has been divided into six work streams with six Task Groups created from volunteers in both the public and private sectors. The work is overseen by the Government Construction Board (GCB), and work directed by Government Construction Steering Committee (GCSC) as shown in the GCB Governance structure on the webpage. Appropriate links are maintained with complementary Task Groups in the Infrastructure UK organization in HM Treasury.
