A new partnership for Manchester: On the sofa with Tom Stannard and Bev Craig
Construct is a collective of movers and shakers passionate about the industry, the built environment and Greater Manchester. Our committee is deeply involved with our city and its positive transformation over the decades.
With a passionate team and a commitment to Manchester's bright future, we’re driven to bring people together to and enact positive change.
With frequent events, gatherings and talks centered on the big topics facing our industry and city region, we aim to cultivate a culture of collaboration, conversation and forward progress.
There are huge challenges coming down the pike in the form of net-zero, the housing crisis, planning reform and more.
Bringing the industry's foremost experts together, we get everyone's voice around the table to find the best route forwards.
Whether it's through intimate salons, wide ranging panel discussions or more informal gatherings, we provide the constructive space needed to make change happen.
Everything we do is done with one over arching purpose - to create a fairer, greener and more prosperous city region through community, collaboration and collective wisdom.
We're not-for-profit, volunteer run and collaborative through and through.
Every construct event is forward looking and an open forum for discussion.
We'll always:
Bring diverse voices to the table across age, race, gender and sexuality
Rise to challenges and tackle difficult issues
Be open to new ideas and innovations
We're a growing community of like-minded built environment professionals who are driven towards new solutions to old problems.
An idea or an innovation is but a wish until it’s brought into the light. We believe in generous knowledge sharing and open minds.
The collective knowledge of an informed group is greater than any individual's. This is what drives us to foster discussion and collaboration.
People coming together in new ways is how we change the world. We value people who give more than they take, who connect without expectation of reciprocity.
