Being able to plan ahead is crucial for success in the construction industry. It is vital to know what is coming down the contractual pipeline to be able to manage potential skills gaps or materials shortages. So, the work done via CEW to create a visible capital programme of work for the Welsh local authorities is a huge step forward for the industry as a whole.

CEW has in cooperation with the Welsh Local Government Association a forward programme broken down by region and sector for the next four years to 2017/18. You can find the information and previous years’ programmes on our website

This year’s published forward programme indicates there is £2.8bn of local authority capital investment in Wales over the next four years.
