An
MMC award celebrating the best of offsite construction in the Midlands is one of
the awards up for grabs at the 2022 Constructing Excellence awards for the East Midlands and West Midlands.
Award
submissions are open to all organisations involved in delivering building and
civil engineering projects in the twin regions.
The
awards are recognised across the built environment industry as the biggest celebration
of best practice in the Midlands. Entries are welcomed from across project
delivery teams - including developers, clients, contractors, engineers,
designers and consultants.
Andrew
Carpenter, chief executive of Constructing Excellence Midlands, said:
“The CE Midlands Awards are a fantastic occasion to recognise contributions and
best practice to the built environment across the Midlands, and we are
delighted to open entries for what will be our 15th year of
celebrations.
“At
its core, the construction industry in the Midlands continues to be incredibly
strong and progressive, as we strive to deliver buildings, housing, facilities
and infrastructure with an increasingly collaborative and sustainable approach.
Cross-industry collaboration will be even more essential to tackle the key
issues facing the construction sector in 2022 – with ensuring building safety
and achieving net zero targets.
“We
want to showcase excellence in projects, schemes, processes and philosophies
that have made a pivotal contribution to the Midlands built environment while
paving the way for future successes that will widely benefit the region’s
construction industry.
“Offsite
construction is a more attractive solution than ever before, as modern methods can
address systemic failures in construction including low productivity, low
margins and a lack of culture for collaboration - which is why we’re delighted
to be celebrating offsite success through our MMC award.”
“Being
recognised by your peers at the Construction Excellence Midlands Awards has
consistently shown to attract new partnerships and enhance existing
relationships with both clients and employees - which is vital to establishing
a collaborative focussed-approach from outset on new projects.”
Closing
dates for the entries are 11 February for the West Midlands awards - which are
scheduled to take place on 12 May at Edgbaston Cricket Ground - and an 11 March
deadline for the East Midlands ceremony - scheduled for 9 June at Athena
Leicester.
