Celebrating Construction Awards finalists announced

THE finalists have been announced for this year’s Celebrating Construction Awards.

Those shortlisted include some of the best known construction companies from across the West Midlands and organisers have reported a 35% increase in submissions – which they suggest demonstrates an upturn in the sector.

Built Environment Hub director and chair of the judging panel Tony Wehby said: “Not only were entries up on last year but the calibre of submissions was outstanding – the judges have had to make some really tough decisions.”

The finalists in the prestigious ‘Project of the Year’ category include Carillion for Library of Birmingham, Clugston for Four Ashes ERF, Cundall for Two Snowhill and Willmott Dixon for Birmingham City University, The Parkside Building Phase One.

The awards, which recognise the West Midlands’ most inspiring construction projects and people across 12 categories, will culminate in a ceremony at the ICC on April 25.

Built Environment chair David Bucknall said: “Celebrating Construction is firmly established as a high point in the regional construction calendar. Each year it commands the attention of the industry professionals and these free to enter awards are an excellent platform to showcase and promote the very best of our industry achievements.”
