This category celebrates what can be achieved through the successful implementation and adoption of digital processes and technologies on a project. This is not about one specific issue or challenge, but about how a digital approach has enabled better outcomes for a project overall.

Judges will be looking for clear and thought-out client requirements and engagement, collaborative dialogue and engagement with supply chain, and how this has enabled better project outcomes.

The project your entry is focused on can be of any capital value, and must have reached practical completion or equivalent within the qualifying period. Judges will be directed to review the entries in the light of the size/scope of the entrants, and thus entries from SMEs will be able to be judged fairly alongside those from major contractors.

Key points:

  • Who can enter: clients, contractors, consultants, architects, and joint ventures/partnerships
  • The project must have reached practical completion or equivalent between March 2023 and March 2024
