Our Expertise

Industry Leadership

Much of the CPA's work is focused on serving as the first point of contact for politicians and policy makers requiring advice and information about matters that relate to construction products or the wider construction industry.

Since we are product neutral and support all materials equally, our strength is to represent the construction products industry as a whole on issues which are most effectively dealt with by working together.

The CPA has been monitoring the impact of Brexit on its members and the wider construction industry since the referendum took place. This includes both the economic impact and the implications of Brexit on regulatory and policy frameworks.
