Excellence and Innovation in Construction

The push for excellence and innovation in construction is rightly gaining momentum, driven by the Government's "Better Public Buildings" and "Rethinking Construction" agenda.

Good practice in construction must be integral to the regeneration of the region's urban areas. With the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), and others, the NWDA is committed to promoting the importance of good design and construction.

The construction industry is of strategic importance to England's Northwest. A healthy construction industry is vital for the physical regeneration of the region and the NWDA is working hard to promote best practice and to create an environment that is beneficial to the growth of the region's construction companies.

To support this, the NWDA is supporting Construction for Merseyside, to assist Merseyside's construction industry to become more competitive, by investing in the skills it needs and to maximise employment opportunities for local people.
