Opportunities for construction and property businesses in Norwich and Norfolk are ample, with North Norfolk recently listed as a top 10 property growth hotspot. We have a large and diverse property development sector, specialising in Passivhaus and sustainable design. Our strong economy and location for housing has driven economic success in the sector, with significant levels of employment across all related industries – employing approximately 70,000 people and supporting over 10,000 companies.
