Dedicated Training Support

CONSTRUCT runs the Concrete Frame Training Group (CFTF) where members receive and share information of skills, training and qualifications. The Training Group also provides funding to support members’ training requirements and to help secure greater CITB levy return. The Group develops specific training guidance documents, and members have access to the CFTF Training Officer for company specific queries.

Free Legal Advice

Through membership of Build UK, CONSTRUCT members get access to free helplines which issue advice on areas such as contract law, tax, employment, health & safety, insurance, training and much more. These include specific helplines to help you through the challenges posed by COVID-19, such as managing contracts.

Access to higher rate of CITB Grant

The Concrete Frame Training Forum (CFTF) applied for funding directly from external organisations such as CITB. Members can exclusively access these funds to support their training. Last year our members claimed an additional £63,000 over and above their standard CITB grant claims.

Member Networking Opportunities

CONSTRUCT holds regular events throughout the year to encourage collaborative working across the sector and the rest of the supply chain, to discuss key issues, improve services and promote best practice. CONSTRUCT Day, our annual flagship event, attracts approximately 600 representatives from the concrete structures industry and wider supply chain. The event offers sponsorship and an exhibition so that members can showcase their brand in front of industry key players. CONSTRUCT also runs a number of social events including golf days, giving members the chance to network in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

Member to member benefits

CONSTRUCT is fundamentally a group of working parties set up as committees which invites inclusion of all stakeholders.  By getting involved with CONSTRUCT and its committees, members get direct access to all the leading contractors, suppliers, consultants and problem solvers. Developing close relationships with contractors can only help to ensure buildability issues are resolved at early as possible and client’s expectations are realised as painlessly as possible.  CONSTRUCT members are leading the way when it comes to development and innovation in building methods and materials, so membership ensures you stay abreast of what’s happening and why.

Yearly Awards

In conjunction with CONSTRUCT Day, CONSTRUCT holds the annual CONSTRUCT Awards, which recognise excellence, capability and innovation in the concrete structures sector. The Awards give members the opportunity to not only showcase the fantastic projects they have been working on throughout the year, but also to celebrate the achievements and hard work of the construction workforce through specific award categories.
