Asian Urban Construction Excellence Awards
Established by the Association alongside its annual forum, the Asian Urban Construction Excellence Awards recognise projects and practice with a factual basis, representative value, transferable lessons and documented outcomes.
Assessment focuses on quality, construction planning, project coordination, green building, resilience and lessons learned. Size and commercial promotion are not the principal criteria.
