Virtual event: Foundations for the Future

HCR’s annual construction and engineering conference

Despite the ups and downs of what has been the most uncertain year for the construction industry in decades, the sector has rumbled on. As we draw 2020 to a close, now is the time to take stock and build the foundations for the future, so the sector can plan for and overcome the challenges ahead.

We invite contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, developers and construction professionals to join us for essential, interactive industry and legal updates.
