Build UK has revealed three new clients have joined its organisation.
Sport England, Lipton Rogers Developments and Quintain are the latest companies to partner with the institution as it seeks to address industry issues and "lead positive change".
In previous weeks, Almacantar, Argent and Great Portland Estates have also joined up with Build UK.
Charles Johnston, Sport England's Property Director, said: "As a significant funder of construction projects, it's vital that we have certainty from our contractors. That's why we're engaging with the industry through Build UK. We want to build relationships so that we can get the very best outcomes for people when they play and enjoy sport."
Lipton Rogers Developments' Co-Founder, Peter Rogers CBE, said: "Build UK's enthusiasm and drive to change the industry is infectious and I believe that they are the organisation with the ability to generate real and necessary change in the industry."
Quintain's Executive Director of Construction, Matt Voyce, added: "When undertaking a project as significant as Wembley Park, it is essential to be engaged with key industry issues. Working with Build UK will provide us with valuable insight into construction markets and also allow us to lead by example in continuing to improve practices."
Build UK Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol MBE, said: "Our second year is off to a flying start with the announcement of our first six client partnerships, the launch of Open Doors 2017 and our facilitation of the Skills Hack at the Construction News Summit.
"Build UK broke new ground when we brought the contracting supply chain together; today we are changing the face of the industry by bringing Clients, Main Contractors and Specialist Contractors around the table for the first time as we continue to pioneer change."
