The Construction Awards of Excellence are highly prized awards, recognising individual and team excellence. The awards are open to all construction and building companies within the UK and are judged entirely independently by an expert panel.

Celebrating exceptional achievement across the UK construction industry, this year’s finalists represent the very best in innovation, sustainability, professionalism and excellence.

Supported by category sponsors including NASC, People’s Partnership, GLP Training, Citation, and the Scottish Building Federation, the awards spotlight excellence in every corner of the sector, from major contractors to rising stars, from remarkable restoration work to trailblazing sustainability efforts.

The shortlist was determined through a rigorous and impartial selection process led by an independent panel of expert judges drawn from across the construction sector. Each entry was assessed against clear criteria, with judges evaluating evidence of excellence in delivery, innovation, leadership, sustainability, and impact.

Winners will be revealed at the Construction Awards of Excellence ceremony on 6th November at the Burlington Hotel in Birmingham.
