LABC Building Excellence Awards - the process
Entries for the 2023 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.
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. Like the last couple of years, we’ll be holding one national award ceremony that will celebrate both people and places in the construction industry. This event will take place in early 2024.

- 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 Grand Finals and will be invited to attend the awards evening.

For the project entries use the postcode of the project. If you’re entering an individual/team into the awards please select the local authority the individual has a relationship with.
We’re still on Cloud Nine, and pinching ourselves with amazement that this all really happened. We’ve spent most of the week taking the award trophy 'on tour' seeing family and friends and then sharing the award and photos with as many of the key project partners as we could, all of whom are delighted that the barn has received this priceless recognition.Andy & Sue Perrin – Winners of Best Residential Conversion to Create a Single New Home – LABC Grand Finals 2021
