Award winners will go on to compete in the national Constructing Excellence Awards in London in 2022.

They’re put on by the Constructing Excellence in the North West, School of Science, Engineering and Environment at the University of Salford and the Centre for Construction Innovations. The awards will be held on 19 November at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool.

“With applications to the awards back to pre-pandemic levels, we offer congratulations to all of those short-listed and wish you the very best of luck!”
