INTRODUCTION 1

The Chamber of Construction Industry, Sri Lanka (CCI) was formed as an Association in 2001 and was
registered on 25th March 2003 under Section 15 Sub-Section 1 of the Companies Act No. 17 of 1982. It was
founded by Construction Industry allied Professional Institutes and Associations, along with the National
Construction Association, Sri Lanka, to be the Apex Body of the Construction Industry. The Chamber’s
Corporate Membership currently exceeds 250 comprising of Professional Associations, Consultants,
Contractors, Statutory Agencies, Manufacturers and Suppliers of Building Materials and other allied
organizations.

Vision: To lead the Construction Industry, Sri Lanka towards developing excellence in the Built
Environment to meet the challenges of the 21st Century World.

Mission: Be the exclusive Voice for the Construction Industry, Sri Lanka and to provide a safe, high
quality, sustainable and eco-friendly Built Environment.

As the umbrella organization covering all the diverse Trade and Sectors within the Industry, the CCI
considers it incumbent upon itself to promote the expansion of services offered by its Member Institutions
and other Establishments. While the Bulletin published monthly by the CCI, discusses the current issues
in broad terms, the Catalogue has documented the information required by any person or company to
avail themselves of the services available with the Industry; it is also a Technical Reference Document
for Industry Professionals and will be invaluable for the potential Investors and Multi-lateral and Bi-lateral
Donor Agencies. By exposing the potentials and options available within the Industry and thereby acting as
a catalyst the Catalogue can contribute positively to the development of the Construction Industry.

While the Catalogue reflects the state of the Industry today it also reflects the deficiencies that the Industry
and the Policy Makers will need to address on a priority basis to elevate ourselves to an internationally
competitive position. While the presence of International Players in the field engaged by the Local Industry
is advantageous as far as Technology transfer is concerned and actually supplements inadequacies in
expertise that we may have, it should be our target to be able to cater for all the Construction needs of the
country and be able to expand our horizons beyond our shores. We should also strive to create a level field
for both the Local and Foreign Consultants and Contractors to reap the benefits of a market economy. We
hope this Catalogue would become a Database for decision-makers towards achieving that goal. If that
happens, then the desire of the CCI to see that the Catalogue is used to further the status of the Industry
will have been fulfilled.

The Chamber of Construction Industry, Sri Lanka (CCI), the First Publication of the ‘Construction Industry
Trade Catalogue’ was in 2006, and the Second Publication in 2008. The Third Publication published under
a new Title the ‘Construction Industry Trade and Business Directory’ was in 2013.

The Fourth Publication is more comprehensive in its reflection of the current state of the Construction Industry.
This Publication includes more than 275 Business Establishments engaged in the Construction Industry-
an increase of 50% over the previous issue. This increase stems not only from the additional information
contained herein, but also from the fact that the Industry is expanding in a burgeoning economy.

We appreciate the cooperation extended by all those who are listed in this Catalogue and are happy that the
prediction we made in the First Publication that this becomes a permanent feature and an ever-expanding
ever-improving Publication, has come true.
