About the awards
Welcome to the Constructing Excellence East Midlands awards.
Our awards are recognised across the East Midlands built environment as the biggest and brightest celebration of best practice. They are a clear demonstration of the core strength of construction in the East Midlands and the desire and commitment to deliver buildings, housing, infrastructure, and facilities of all kinds in a collaborative and sustainable manner.
Our awards are open to all organisations and project teams involved in delivering buildings and civil engineering projects in the East Midlands. Entries are welcomed from developers, clients, contractors, specialist and sub-contractors, engineers, of all disciplines, members of the design team and other consultants. The key factor is that the project, scheme, process or philosophy contributes to the East Midlands built environment and can be celebrated as an example of best practice.
Being recognised by your peers for excellence in construction will bring enormous benefits to your business, helping you to attract new clients cement existing relationships and raise your staff morale.
Entries will be considered by an independent panel of judges. We would also remind you that all shortlisted submissions will be required to present online to a panel of independent judges week commencing 17th May 2021.
Closing date for entries is 22nd March at Midday – Please send all completed entry forms, logos and photos to eastawards@cemidlands.org

Integration & Collaborative Working Award
Collaborative working is central to the core values of Constructing Excellence and its drive for positive change in construction.
SME of the Year Award
SMEs are the backbone of the industry and are recognised by Constructing Excellence for their dominance of and contribution to the supply chain.
Sustainability Award
High environmental and climate performance in construction aims to meet present day needs for housing, working environments and infrastructure without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs in times to come. It seeks to limit impact on the natural environment and demonstrate whole life sustainability. It is most effective when organisational culture, high design quality, technical innovation and transferability are abundant.
Innovation Award
Innovation is widely recognised as the critical factor for increased and sustained productivity and growth. It demonstrates an organisation’s confidence, capacity and appetite for improved performance and productivity gains.
Health, Safety & Wellbeing Award
Health, Safety & Wellbeing is of paramount importance and a culture of ‘safety first’ is crucial to performance. Overarching health and safety risk management systems and effective health initiatives are fundamental to reducing or eliminating all types of incident and promoting health and well–being across the supply chain.
Digital Construction Award
Digital Construction embraces BIM, GIS, Big Data and other evolving technological advancements. Technology has transformed the world we live in and has potential to revolutionise the construction industry. This category rewards organisations, projects or initiatives that have adopted, advanced and achieved excellence in Digital Construction.
People Development Award
People are our greatest asset and this award recognises organisations that appreciate and nurture their workforce to ensure they maximise the value of everyone’s contribution to the business. By creating inclusive workplaces which support people of all abilities through training initiatives, education, mentoring, support networks and innovative programmes, companies can demonstrate a significant impact on the future of their businesses and the wider construction industry
Conservation and Regeneration Award
The preservation or rehabilitation of old or historic buildings and sites is often an important part of neighbourhood revitalisation, providing physical and psychological focus for the community and creating jobs and investment opportunities. Construction work that involves the conservation and regeneration of historic buildings requires great care and specialist skills and techniques.
Value Award
Judges are looking for an initiative, project or series of projects that has focused on the value of facilities in use and the outcomes for owners and users. Good facilities add value by enabling owners and/or users to live or work better in them.
Offsite Award
A number of factors are convening to make offsite construction a more attractive solution than ever before. It can help address systemic failures including low productivity, low predictability, low margins, adversarial pricing, lack of culture for collaboration, limited R&D and investment in innovation and poor image.
