Listed below are those tools from the Building Down Barriers Toolkit which are cross-referenced by the Strategic Forum's Integration Toolkit. These are made available free of charge as part of Be's commitment to pan-industry change.
In late 1999 the then Design Build Foundation (now Be) was invited by the Ministry of Defence to take responsibility for rolling out the implementation of the toolkit and other material that was developed as part of the MOD’s Defence Estates’ Building Down Barriers project. The full toolkit is available free of charge to Be members, and many of the tools are referenced by the Strategic Forum’s Integration Toolkit.
