Merchants are a key part of the distribution of building materials and as part of
this have considerable impact on disseminating technical information to their customers,
and hence to a key target audience of all research. This project is one of the first
research projects actioned by Co-Construct, the five leading Construction Research
Associations working together.
The objective of this project is to increase the dissemination of new ideas,
including the results of research, by using merchants as a route to the market. This
project will explore the possibilities for doing this.
