2025 Sunday Express British Construction and Property Awards
Celebrating outstanding achievements in Britain’s Construction and Property industry
“Having served as a construction minister in Government, I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible potential and ambition within the industry. Yet, until now, we’ve lacked a dedicated platform to fully celebrate its achievements. The 2025 Sunday Express British Construction and Property Awards will address this gap, providing the recognition that the sector – essential to the growth and resilience of the UK – rightly deserves. These awards will highlight not only the innovations and advancements shaping our built environment but also the people whose expertise and dedication are building the future.”
