The Construction sector in Bristol remains extremely active as work continues on regeneration and development projects across the city. The Cabot Circus expansion to Broad Mead retail centre has now opened on time taking Bristol into the top ten retail centres in the UK. Thousands of new private homes are being built together with imaginative developments for student accommodation and provision for many new commercial undertakings. Our own housing stock is being continuously upgraded and all our wartime Prefabs will be replaced by new, more energy efficient, dwellings over the next four years. The programme of building new schools is ongoing contributing to the improved provision for educating our young people. Within this directory you will find information about current and future projects as well as a range of information relevant to the construction sector. Above all however, there is a comprehensive listing of companies large and small, ready to contribute their services from within the city and I would urge you, when placing construction business, to consider Bristol First.
Are you a company intending to set up in Bristol? www.investinbristol.com promotes Bristol as a world-class investment location to commercial investors, agents and intermediaries including both companies and public sector organisations. Bristol City Council is working to improve the city's built environment, reduce social exclusion in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, strengthen the city's economy and improve access to employment and training, particularly for people living in deprived neighbourhoods. www.bristol.gov.uk/regeneration
