2009 will be the 15th annual Building Awards, the biggest construction
industry event of the year. The extremely sought after Building Awards are all
about rewarding best practice, innovation and excellence.
The judges want to see entries from construction companies who have done
something special in the last year; this could be a single exemplary project, a
record turnover, a great example of integrated team work or a brand new product
that has taken the industry by storm.
The panel of judges will be looking for clear evidence of your success over
the last year, so please back up your entry with relevant up to date figures and
photographs of projects where appropriate.
