SiteSmart will enable construction sites to continuously improve, leading to changes in behaviour and increased project profitability.

Having gained feedback from existing users and other industry stakeholders, the SiteSmart team have developed the brand to include these tools, with more being developed soon, in addition to information and links to vital training, publications and industry-wide statistics – all in one place.
 
Developed to meets the needs of the construction industry, the new site furthers an organisation's journey into the digital world whilst helping companies in the sector improve performance.
 
‘Safety, knowledge, efficiency, and sustainability are the heart of any successful construction project, said Director of BRE’s Building Futures Group, Simon Cross.
 
‘By bringing all these aspects together online accessible from anywhere at any given time, we aim to maximise progress and opportunities for our clients. Smart technology is already here, and we are helping the industry to use it in a smart way.’
