Welcome to the 11th annual North West Regional Construction Awards.

Our awards are recognised across the North West built environment sector as the biggest and brightest celebration of best practice and innovative working. They are a clear demonstration of the core strength of construction in the North West and the desire and commitment to deliver construction and infrastructure, facilities of all kinds, in a collaborative and sustainable manner.

The Awards are hosted by the School of the Built Environment at the University of Salford and by Constructing Excellence North West and the Centre for Construction Innovation.

Professor Peter McDermott, Chair of the Judging Panel, and Constructing Excellence in the North West, said: "2017 has seen an increase in the number of entries and the judges are faced with a thoroughly enjoyable but difficult task of separating one excellent submission from another. The submissions are clearly pan-industry and cross-disciplinary. There has been some minor adjustment to the categories this year. This has served to focus the judges on those people, firms and projects that are demonstrating how collaboration and innovation are characteristics of the North West region. These characteristics give confidence that the sector will respond well to the current challenges and opportunities presented by devolution in our region, BREXIT and the re-newed government commitment to industrial strategy.

Don Ward, Chief Executive of Constructing Excellence (National), said; 'We are aware that the North West Market prospects are amongst the best in the country. These are exciting times for Constructing Excellence; the differing needs of regions are well recognised but in 2017 we are all considering how best to work with Mark Farmer on a response to his report Modernise or Die (#FarmerReview).'

About the awards

Entries to the Awards are welcomed from large or small organisations, project teams and individuals involved in delivering building and civil engineering projects in the North West.

We are particularly keen to recognise the contribution of smaller organisations and encourage them to apply across all categories of awards as well as to the SME category.

Being recognised by your peers for excellence in construction will bring enormous benefits to your business, helping you to attract new clients, cement existing relationships and raise your staff morale. The winners of these awards go forward to the National Awards in London in autumn 2017, to compete with awards from each English region and from Wales. The only way to get nominated for a Constructing Excellence National Award is to win a Regional Award. Regular entrants to the North West awards will notice some changes in the award categories, as all of the regions have sought to be more aligned for 2017.

Professor Peter McDermott, Chair of the Judging Panel, and Constructing Excellence in the North West, said: "These awards are pan-industry, cross-disciplinary and recognise more than the great projects delivered. All of the award categories are designed to find, reward and celebrate the best people and firms. The judges are looking for the people and firms who are demonstrating how collaboration and innovation are characteristics of the North West region; who act as encouragement to investors and policy makers that the potential for a "construction power-house"
