LABC Building Excellence Awards
Entries for the 2021 awards are now open
The LABC Building Excellence Awards are the largest business to business awards in the building control sector in the UK.
Our network covers all local authorities in England and Wales and is split into 12 regions.
New awards process
In previous years shortlisted entries would be invited to attend the regional awards with the winners of each category qualifying for our Grand Finals. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 we’re unable to hold the regional awards this year. Instead we’ll be holding two national events that celebrate both places and people in the construction industry.
The Place Awards
Will reward quality in all types of building project. The awards evening will take place in London on Friday 28 January 2022 (venue to be confirmed).
- Entries will be submitted for the relevant region. The deadline for all entries is Friday 2 July.
- Judges will select one regional winner and a highly commended (if applicable) for each category.
- Regional winners for each category will be put forward to the judging for the Place Awards and will be invited to attend the awards evening.
The People Awards
Will recognise individual contributions and partnerships that go the extra mile to ensure projects are built safely and comply with the building regulations. The awards evening will take place in London on Friday 11 February 2022 (venue to be confirmed).
- Entries will be submitted for the relevant region. The deadline for all entries is Friday 2 July.
- For each region judges will select up to two entries per category to be put forward to the judging for the People Awards.
- Shortlisted individuals will be invited to attend the People Awards taking place in February 2022.
Who can enter?
Building control surveyors, builders, site managers, architects, designers and anyone else involved in a construction project where building control was provided by a local authority team can submit an entry for the relevant region.
