In this episode, we turn our attention to the winners and the highly commended entries who were honoured at the industry-leading Construction Week Awards 2019 held on 4 December at the JW Marriott Marqius Dubai.
This year’s highly-anticipated annual awards ceremony also comprised some new categories, including Sub-Consultancy of the Year, the editor’s choice award for Rising Star of the Year, and the first of its kind Lifetime Achievement Award.
Our judging panel comprised of the head of Reed Smith Middle East, Sachin Kerur; Taylor Sterling managing partner, Marcus Taylor; Arabian Construction Co head of strategy and business development manager, Aaron Chehab; and McLaren Group’s pre-construction director Lyndon Hives.
The four judges reflected on entries from 14 categories, analysing which companies and members of the industry demonstrated the best record of progress and delivery for its clients over the past 12 months.
The winners and highly commended were also evaluated on their health, safety, and environment (HSE) record, as well as signs of commercial strength and growth during the eligibility period.
The judges criteria included an in-depth look at some of the most outstanding members of the industry who made a difference in 2019 by going above and beyond their call of duty.
