- To provide a forum to address mutual owner issues especially safety, labor relations, productivity improvement and other cost reduction strategies.
- To provide an opportunity for owners to network on domestic and international issues
- To promote work force education and training as well as effective construction planning and practices
- To provide a repository for owner resources so that owners can become more effective decision makers
- To collectively communicate and interact with contractors and contractor associations to assure that the owners voice is heard and understood

The Construction Users Roundtable was formed in the summer of 2000 by construction and engineering executives representing major
corporations that are among the largest consumers in the construction industry. The formation of the association was prompted by a desire to continue the
thirty-year effort of the Construction Committee of the Business Roundtable. The objective in the new organization is to have broader owner representation
and increased owner input on industry issues.
CURT is an autonomous organization that provides a forum for the exchange of information, views, practices and policies of various owners at the national
level. Similar groups, called Local User Councils, function at the local level and seek to address problems of cost, quality, safety and overall cost
effectiveness in their respective area.
CURT stands for improvement. It stands for improving overall cost effectiveness. It stands for improving the way construction is planned, managed,
accounted for, regulated and executed. It stands for improving the way workers are motivated, supervised and work. CURT also stands for change;
changing and improving what owners permit, require and accept responsibility for.

CURT has developed several initiatives that it feels will improve construction cost effectiveness. In addition, members and associates actively
participate in regular meetings, conferences and seminars. Special reports and publications will also be distributed on a regular basis. Each year a National Construction
Owners Conference will be held to highlight and showcase the latest industry developments affecting construction cost effectiveness from the owners' perspective.
