Construction industry research indicates that property owners, consultants, engineers, surveyors and contractors etc. consider that one of the most important functions of associations and professional bodies is to keep them fully informed of developments.

For the Concrete Repair Association (CRA) such findings are not new. The association is in regular communication with its various clients, ensuring that they are aware of improvements in standards, training initiatives, directory and documentation updates and other "happenings". The CRA even produces its own six-monthly journal entitled Cracking Matters.

The association does not intend to be slow off the mark in the Internet stakes either and is presently concentrating on the development of its Web site at www.concreterepair.org.uk

Currently, the CRA Web site contains details of all CRA members; information about the association; its technical advisory services; publications produced; its Code of Practice; training for its members' operatives and its latest press statements.

In addition, in line with a recent decision to make its extremely useful "Standard method of measurement for concrete repair" document available free of charge, the association also intends to develop the site in the near future to facilitate direct downloading for use as required. Other association publications, induding "The route to a successful concrete repair", will also be able to be accessed in the same manner. New material will be added regulady and the CRA is looking into ways of making the site more interactive.

For those without Internet access at present, further information can be obtained from CRA, Association House, 235 Ash Road, Aldershot, Hants GU12 4DD. Tel: +44 (0) 1252 321302; Fax: +44 (0) 1252 333901.
