Welcome to the North West Regional Construction Awards - now in it's 20th year! It is the most significant celebration of best practice and best value in the North West and the only event of its kind that connects every single discipline of construction working towards a sustainable built environment.

Your work and your award entries not only help the NWRCA Awards highlight that best practice works but demonstrates how construction can play a vital contribution to inclusive growth in our region. Our industry is a major economic sector and critical to delivering the homes, workplaces, hospitals, schools, universities and transport infrastructure that the North West needs. So, we're challenging the North West clients, designers, engineers, builders, suppliers and everyone else in the supply chain to step up and enter our awards. The standards of entries rise every year – so consider your submission carefully – we want to see the best clients, the best building, civil and heritage projects, and we want to celebrate our young leaders and the contribution of our sector to inclusive growth, social value, and to a better post-covid recovery and levelling-up. We want to showcase excellence in the North West construction sector. Excellence will be demonstrated through adherence to Constructing Excellence principles, the Rethinking Construction agenda and Construction 2026. Submissions would usually relate to either ongoing work or any project or example of organisational change that was delivered in the 12 months from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025. Please note, projects do not to be completed to be entered into the awards.
