Each year the Constructing Excellence Awards are a celebration of everything the UK’s Built Environment has to be proud of. The awards are designed to showcase how the Constructing Excellence principles are delivered in practice and crucially inspire others to embrace these principles.

Winners are selected through our regional awards programme to go forward to our national finals held every year in the autumn. We bring together a panel of expert judges with significant proven experience in driving and implementing innovation and positive change across the sector.

These prestigious Awards provide a very special showcase of excellence in the built environment across England and Wales, bringing together the regional winners in each of the 14 categories to celebrate the very best of the best.

New for 2026 we have a direct to national award for Building Safety Culture sponsored by AtkinsRealis.

The awards event will take place on Friday 6th November at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square Hotel. Download the booking form here.

There’s still time to support the National Awards through sponsorship, if your organisation is interested, take a look at our Sponsorship Brochure for more.
