We wish to acknowledge gratefully those individuals and organizations that assisted FIATECH in developing, promoting, and refining the CPTR. First, we would like to acknowledge the efforts of Jim Bartlett (Naval Facilities Engineering Command, retired) who, while he served as Chair of the Construction Industry Institute's (CII) FIAPP Steering Committee, first proposed the idea of developing a CPTR for the industry. Our thanks also extends to Dr. Jack Snell, former director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Building and Fire Research Laboratory, who helped us obtain initial seed funding for the effort from the National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Construction and Buildings. With that funding, we were able to initiate the project and sustain it with additional support obtained from Linda Beth Schiller, Acting Deputy Director of the NIST Advanced Technology Program.
The early success of the CPTR was sufficient to excite the interest of the CII Executive Committee, in particular, Ken Eickmann, CII's past director, and Hal Yoh, Chairman, and CEO, Day and Zimmerman International, Inc, who was Chair of the CII Executive Committee at the time. They convinced the CII Board of Advisors to provide further support to carry the CPTR forward. This was critical and their support is acknowledged gratefully also. Numerous sponsoring agencies were also integral in generating initial support and interest and they include the National Science Foundation (Dr. Miriam Heller, Program Director), the National Research Council of Canada (Dr. Sherif Barakat, Director General), and the NIST Advanced Technology Program (Dr. Cita Furlani, Director, Information Technology and Electronics Office). Dr. Snell, whose support in the early stages of the CPTR was instrumental, also provided additional support later on to reflect the new realities of Homeland Security. Without the vision, commitment, and support of these individuals, organizations and agencies, this CPTR would not have come to be. Our special thanks also go to Sally Barton of Barton Consulting Ltd. who served as the technical editor and was instrumental in integrating the parts and producing this publication.
Of course, the technical content of the CPTR comes from people: dedicated, motivated, and committed people from all across the industry, at all levels within their organizations and from all types of organizations. It is these technical professionals, their companies listed below, who volunteered their time to refine the details of the current state, the desired future state, and the path by which we get from one to the other. Additionally, a select group of volunteer technical reviewers provided significant input and thus helped to refine the early versions of the documents. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all of these individuals who shared a common goal to see that the vision was achieved for the capital projects and facilities industry. These are the leaders, the ones who "get it." They are the ones who realize that the revolution that this industry so desperately needs will not come by watching from the sidelines, but by rolling up our sleeves and working to make it happen.
