Winners of regional construction awards revealed

Over 400 guests attended the awards ceremony at the Titanic Warehouse and were hosted by the University of Salford and produced in partnership with Constructing Excellence.

NWRCA 2019Place North West was returning media partner for the North West Regional Construction Awards, with sister publication PlaceTech also an award sponsor.

The awards celebrate best practice in the delivery of the homes, workplaces, hospitals, schools, universities and transport infrastructure.

Head judge Professor Peter McDermott from the University of Salford said: “These awards are a great source of evidence on best practice, on what works under what circumstances.

Well done to all of our winners and our finalists.”
