It is this prosperous growth and promising future that has prompted the South West Construction Summit. The Summit aims to bring together key contributors of the regional construction industry and its supply chain to support and underpin the progress already being made. The event will explore opportunities, major projects, client commitments and procurement best practice, including; deriving value, fair payments, retrofit and soft landings.
