Eighty of the UK's top construction leaders are set to compete for a number of major industry accolades at this year's Construction Manager of the Year Awards.
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) revealed the final shortlist for 2019, recognising individuals in 11 categories including Schools, Leisure, Restoration and Public and Infrastructure.
