Application guidance
The awards present projects and practice with transferable lessons at the annual forum. Submissions should focus on project facts, quality, construction planning, green building and coordination, using technical reviews rather than advertising.
Project focus
Urban buildings, infrastructure, utilities, construction management and green construction.
Expert review
The Secretariat checks submissions before assigning them to experts in the relevant disciplines.
Publication and records
Provisionally selected projects are published and included in the Association's annual records.
Available categories
Categories reflect practical merit and transferable experience. Overall and specialist categories may be proposed or adjusted in response to submissions.
| Type | Award | Who can apply |

Assessment priorities
Experts consider authenticity, documentation and transferable lessons rather than project size.
| Area | Focus |
|---|---|
| Engineering quality | Quality-management methods, process controls, problem analysis and improvements. |
| Construction organisation | Site planning, programme, safety and communication between parties. |
