Architects support the concept of mandatory Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment across manufacturers’ full ranges of building products, according to research by Ravago Building Solutions UK.
The research, conducted during Futurebuild 2026, explored UK architects’ opinions about the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment. The findings show CCPI is helping rebuild trust in construction product manufacturers and how it is already influencing specification decisions.
The survey of 100 UK architects examined attitudes towards CCPI assessment. Other findings include:
• 99% said they would be more likely to specify a product from a manufacturer that is CCPI assessed.
• 99% said their level of trust in a manufacturer would increase if it was CCPI assessed.
• Nine in 10 said CCPI assessment is either very important or essential for the construction industry.
• 97% believe misleading or ambiguous product information remains a problem within construction. Almost all said CCPI assessment would help them feel more confident in the credibility of sustainability-related claims.
Respondents also cited clearer and more accurate product information, stronger trust between manufacturers and architects, and higher standards across the supply chain as the main benefits of the CCPI.
The value architects place on trusted information is also reflected commercially. More than half of respondents said they would be somewhat willing to pay a premium for products from manufacturers that meet CCPI standards, while more than 40% said they would definitely be willing to do so. This demonstrates that verified compliance is increasingly seen not just as best practice, but as added value.
Sustainability was another key theme of the survey. Eight in 10 architects said sustainability is an important or essential factor when specifying products. However, around one third said they rarely trust sustainability claims made by manufacturers. Encouragingly, almost all respondents said CCPI assessment would help them feel more confident in the credibility of sustainability-related claims.
Joan Ferrer, Commercial Director UK & IRE at Ravago Building Solutions UK, said: “These findings show that architects place great value in transparency, accuracy and accountability from manufacturers. Trust has become a critical factor in specification decisions, and independent assessment through CCPI gives specifiers much-needed confidence that the information they are relying on is clear, credible and robust.
Earlier this year, Ravago Building Solutions UK was assessed as conforming with the CCPI for its entire Ravatherm XPS construction product range.
