Structure

provide for contractors' regional interests (go to CECA Regions for the areas covered by each Region). Regional Committees comprising leading contractors develop campaigning initiatives in the region. Regular liaison by these regions with the Regional Assemblies, public and private sector clients and other bodies which operate within their area ensures a mutual understanding of business and other issues. Also by this means CECA can identify and monitor developments and trends which may have a national dimension.

The CECA Regional Associations are members of CECA and national policy is determined through a Council and Standing Committee comprising representatives nominated by the Regions. This enables CECA to speak with authority on behalf of its members to Government, major clients, relevant national bodies, professional institutions and other trade associations.

CECA provides advice and information to members on a diverse range of issues. Its staff are available to answer enquiries and provide information on issues including developments in infrastructure investment, procurement initiatives and strategies, legal contractual matters, employment, technical and environmental issues, training and safety.

 

CECA aims to provide an effective voice for civil engineering contractors within the Construction Confederation. The Construction Confederation is the leading representative body for contractors and CECA are represented by the CC on pan-industry issues.

 

CECA is one of the founder members of the Construction Confederation which was established in July 1997. A combination of CECA staff and additional Confederation specialist staff can provide members with up to date information and advice.
