Construction Manager of the Year finalists unveiled
Sixty-nine of the industry’s brightest talents have made the finals for the Construction Manager of the Year Awards.
They represent the successful construction management of a combined £2.3 billion worth of UK building assets.
The annual competition is run by The Chartered Institute of Building.
Saleem Akram, director at the CIOB said: “The value of professional construction managers is felt well beyond the construction site.
“They not only produce outstanding buildings but their work influences the way we live our lives and how we interact with the environment around us.
“Our congratulations go to the finalists who in reaching the final have achieved something very special that will enhance their careers.
“They have all proved themselves more than equal to a wide range of challenges, combining resourceful and creative application of building technology with inspiring project and team management and top communication skills.
“It is very pleasing to see the less well-known companies in construction putting their best people forward and challenging some of the UK’s biggest brands.
“Talent exists throughout the industry and CMYA recognises those who are achieving exceptional work no matter where they operate.
There are ten categories at CMYA 2015 that range from ‘Residential Projects under 6 Storeys’ to ‘New Build and Refurbishment over £60million’.
Winners and medallists will be announced on 8 October 2015 at an awards dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.

German discount supermarket Aldi has unveiled plans to pump £600m into expanding its store network over the next two years.
The ambitious plan to take on rivals like Tesco and Sainsbury’s will see 130 new stores opened and the UK workforce reach 35,000.
Aldi has boomed in recent years, and in April it overtook Waitrose as the UK’s sixth-biggest supermarket, with 5.3% of the market share.
It has focused on smaller-scale stores looking at build costs of £1m-£3m for each store rather than the £10m+ favoured by the other chains.
The supermarket chain is also planning several distribution centres to support the growth programme.
Birmingham contractor DSP Construction Management is about to start work on a 600,000 sq ft regional distribution centre just south of the A6, near Bolton where Imtech is on board as building services contractor.
Aldi is also presently planning to build a similar regional distribution centre at Sheerness in Kent and a major 1.2m sq ft logistic centre at Sawley Crossroads in Derby.
These schemes have been design by Birmingham-based STOAS Architects.
