The best of the construction industry was celebrated at the eighth Constructing Excellence National Awards in London last Friday (November 14).
The Awards, attended by over 450 construction professionals, reward those organisations, and individuals, setting the highest standard of best practice and collaboration in the construction industry.
The ceremony took place at the impressive Tower Hotel, set against the striking backdrop of London’s Tower Bridge.
The winners from the eight regional Constructing Excellence Awards were put forward for the 12 national categories, with nominees coming from all over the UK.
This year’s final included awards for Integration and Collaborative Working, Innovation, Sustainability, Young Achiever, Client of the Year, Project of the Year and a Special Recognition award.
Don Ward, Chief Executive of Constructing Excellence, said: “Market prospects are improving. Most sectors and regions are on the up, and it is to be hoped that excellence will return to the fore in projects. It is therefore great to recognise those individuals and organisations who are leading this trend.”
Winners on the night included big construction projects such as the Library of Birmingham, organisations such as East Riding of Yorkshire Council and smaller, locally based companies and projects such as Bournville Property Care Services from the West Midlands and Catalyst Research Laboratory and Office Facility from Billingham.
This Special Recognition award was given to Engineering for Overseas Development for their Kachumbala Widows Cooperative Mill & Grain Store Uganda project.
Since the inaugural awards back in 2007, the night has grown into one of the leading events in the UK built environment calendar.
