Liverpool's construction market is structured around its waterfront regeneration corridor, which is generating the most significant volume of civils and infrastructure work in 2025 and 2026. GRAHAM Construction holds a £71 million civils contract at Liverpool Waters' Central Docks, designing and constructing roads, underground utilities and 2.1 hectares of public realm (Central Park) to unlock land for approximately 2,350 new homes. The contract was awarded through the Pagabo Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Framework in September 2025, with a spring 2028 target for completion. This project alone sustains a substantial supply chain of groundworkers, civil engineers and drainage operatives in the northern waterfront corridor.
Further north on the waterfront, the £1 billion King Edward Triangle scheme, promoted by KEIE (part of the TJ Morris group) with Beetham, is advancing detailed planning applications in 2026 for close to 3,000 homes and a five-star hotel in a cluster of high-rise buildings on the northern docks. This scale of residential high-rise development draws specialist formwork, steelwork, drainage and M and E subcontractors at the enabling and structural phases. Morgan Sindall Group has four active Liverpool projects valued at £78 million in the 2026 Barbour ABI pipeline, with Bellway Homes delivering a further £65 million residential scheme.
Outside the waterfront, the Bootle Strand town centre regeneration in Sefton is advancing through preparation and structural work throughout 2026, and the broader Merseyside pipeline includes steady residential and commercial fit-out demand that draws joiners, dryliners, painters-decorators, electricians and plumbers from across Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens and Wirral. The approved Liverpool Baltic Station (£100 million, delivery target end of 2027) will add a further civils and groundworks phase to the south of the city centre when construction begins.
