The South African Construction Excellence Model (SACEM) is based on the South African Excellence Model (SAEM), an internationally recognised framework for business performance assessment. The model's basic structure, function, benefits and its relationship with industry development strategy is elaborated. The promotion of "best practice" culture is advocated by the authors as a critical aspect of improving overall performance of contractors. SACEM is seen as a relevant tool, a starting point for adopting this as a culture of excellence.enConstruction industry development strategyBest practiceContractor performance assessmentPerformance improvement programmesSACEMConference PresentationDlungwana, W.
