March is one of the most important months in the UK construction calendar. With project pipelines confirmed and budgets moving into execution, March brings together innovation, sustainability, digital delivery and materials expertise at scale. It is the point in the year where strategy, policy and technology begin to translate into real-world application.
For contractors, consultants, engineers and developers, March 2026 features several major national events that influence how projects are designed, delivered and managed across the year ahead.
