Who we are

The Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) is the representative body for many of the companies who work day-to-day to deliver, upgrade, and maintain the UK’s transport and utility networks.

With more than 300 members throughout England, Scotland and Wales, we represent firms who together carry out up to 80 per cent of all civil engineering activity in the UK, in the key sectors of transport, energy, communications, waste and utilities including electricity and water.

Our members include some of the largest construction firms as well as a range of small specialist and regional contractors. Our industry supports the employment of over 200,000 people in the UK with annual activity worth £25 billion.

CECA is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of its members and those we do business with.
