Time running out to enter British Construction Industry Awards

Practices have until next Thursday (29.03.2012) to submit for the annual accolades which champions high-quality project delivery by British engineers, architects and contractors across a raft of categories.

Now in its 25th year, the prizes are given to schemes ranging from the best small building (with a value of up to £3 million) to the most successful project with a budget of more than £50 million.

Earlier this week Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed the government’s ongoing support for the BCIAs by again backing a special ‘best of show’ accolade - the Prime Minister’s Award for Better Public Building which is chosen from the all the shortlisted finalists.

This year sees the introduction of four new categories – BIM project application award, ICE President’s Award for energy infrastructure, product design innovation award and project finance (deal of the year) – which sit alongside the programme’s existing categories.
