The LABC South East Building Excellence Awards recognise and reward the best quality design construction and project management in the South East. The quality stems from good design and an efficient design team, and is translated into quality buildings by an effective construction team. Throughout this process Local Authority Building Control monitors the quality of design and construction. The finalists will be acknowledged as amongst the best projects in the South East.
Nominations can now be made by any member of the design and construction team, the building owner, or by the LABC Building Control Surveyors involved. Each entry must be approved by LABC and include an endorsement from the approving authority. If you have a project that you think is worthy of recognition, speak with your LABC surveyor and ask for their endorsement. There is no charge for entering. Nominations are now open – and can be made until the closing date of 23 March 2012.
There are twelve categories this year. For domestic building work there is the best domestic extension or conversion (including barn conversions). For new dwellings, there are four categories, best individual dwelling, best small housing site, best large housing site and best social housing site. There’s best small and large commercial development, best education development and best community development. Sustainable construction is encouraged and rewarded with a unique category, and there is a separate category for any development that features unusual or striking technical features (such as structural design or fire safety engineering). And finally there is a category that rewards partnerships operating under the LABC Partnering scheme.
Have a look at the rules page for guidance, and the awards page to see the different categories. Nominations can be made on line on the nominations page. For detailed guidance on how to put the nomination together, go to the download page and downloads the “Guidance on making your nomination” PDF. It is really quite simple to make a nomination, but if you have any questions, contact the organisers from the contact us page.
The regional final is dedicated to showcasing the best the construction industry has to offer in the South East. The awards will attract a large audience to a prestigious ceremony. It is a black tie dinner and is a great opportunity to celebrate the working relationship enjoyed by the design and construction team and to reflect on the success of being shortlisted as a finalist.
