LABC Building Awards East Midlands

The LABC East Midlands Building Excellence Awards recognise and reward the best quality design construction and project management in the East Midlands. 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 East Midlands.

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 31 March 2010. 

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 downloads page and download 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 East Midlands. The awards will attract a large audience to a prestigious ceremony at The Pride Park Stadium Derby 4 June 2010. 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.
