Government - at national and local level - is the construction industry's largest client and the Prime Minister's personal support for the 'Better Public Buildings' initiative shows a determination to ensure high standards of quality and design. The fact that BCIA is the chosen home for the Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award demonstrates its status as the UK's most prestigious Industry Award scheme.
The judging criteria for all categories of the Awards focus on all-round excellence in the delivery of projects and client satisfaction and the judges' task will be as demanding this year as ever with the usual fascinating mix of building and civil engineering projects of all sizes to consider.
