CERACQ is a non-profit-making organization which was founded in 1988. The creation of this center dedicated to the innovation in the construction industry is the initiative of a small group of contractors. Back in 1988, the founders realized an important fundraising campaign. Donations adding up nearly a million dollars were collected and made it possible to set up funds dedicated to the advance of the construction industry.

Since then, the CERACQ Board of directors, regrouping representatives of various spheres of the industry, oversees the administration of this fund and the financing of major projects.
