After much deliberation, the SPACES Chair and Award Panel have decided that due to the number of submissions following the effects of Covid on the construction industry, that the submission process is going to stay open for another eleven months and we will have joint 2023/24 yearbook and award ceremony.
As part of this extension we will be transforming a number of our member’s projects into case studies and adding them onto our website and other forms of social media throughout the year. Showcasing the fabulous projects that those working in and for the Public Sector deliver.
New Submission Deadline: Friday 5th January 2024.
This is a great opportunity to showcase any public funded project and an opportunity to win a national award!
Not just for schools, any building or space, large or small, new build, refurbishment or extension which has received an element of public funding is eligible!
Our yearbook and awards are not just about the building but considers many other factors including the impact it’s had on the community, environmental benefits, an outstanding collaborative approach, etc. The public sector, working in collaboration with the private sector, delivers some amazing projects which deserve wider recognition.
So if you have a project that you are proud of you can submit a project to this year’s Awards and Yearbook for free.
Submissions are invited nationally and can include:
-
- New building and refurbishment projects across the public sector
- Buildings that add value to the communities they serve
- Buildings from all sectors of public construction
- Projects that demonstrate collaboration
- Projects that demonstrate Engineering excellence/ingenuity
- Surveying projects that renew embedded value
- Examples of construction team excellence
- Articles of interest on public sector buildings
Anyone can make a submission whether you are the client, architect, contractor, engineer, surveyor or project manager who feels there is merit in a particular building or project.
