"The networking opportunities provided by COMIT have been excellent. The openness of construction members about how construction actually works has led directly to a change in our strategy; the collaborative networking has enabled us to reduce the costs of a new project by £250k and the time to market by 6 months."
John Culbert - Managing Director, Assentic.

COMIT is extremely important to Pearce who, as a medium sized company, don't usually have the time or the money to invest in research programmes on our own. Participating in COMIT offers us the ability to undertake demonstration projects and provides us with access to new innovative techniques."
Nick Regan - IS Manager, Pearce Group Limited.
