−	Meanwhile, on the ground, practice continues to be driven by market forces rather than government reports because the industry's culture is so set in the habit of lowest price appointments. Having said that, Banwell's suggestion of publishing all prices submitted by participating firms is an excellent way to encourage fairer competition and was successfully adopted by many local authorities. Future improvements can only occur if the findings of research are better promoted by leading bodies such as ICE, RIBA, RICS and CIOB.	+	Meanwhile, on the ground, practice continues to be driven by market forces rather than government reports because the industry's culture is so set in the habit of lowest price appointments.
