With over 160 entries across 14 categories, this year’s awards have been packed full of outstanding, pioneering projects, products and people. The winners will be presented at a high profile dinner, taking place on Tuesday 06 October 2015 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham as part of UK Construction Week. This year’s awards will attract over 500 national business leaders and high profile decision makers from the construction industry and will provide a significant platform for targeting the timber industry.
