British Construction & Infrastructure Awards 2025 | Entries are now open

The Awards for 2025 have been refreshed, along with the event name itself . They celebrate and honour the outstanding contributions of the British construction industry to society. This industry not only delivers transformative buildings and infrastructure that enhance lives and fuel economic growth but also creates exceptional job opportunities and careers, fosters strong community relationships, drives innovation, and champions the low-carbon agenda.

Introducing the Sir John Armitt Prize – This prize recognises projects that surpass objectives, satisfy clients, and deliver significant benefits to end-users and stakeholders. Winners embody industry excellence, showcasing what projects can achieve at their very best. This Prize will covet national media attention.

Sir John Armitt, Chair of the judging panel for the prize said:

“I am delighted to have been asked to help select the inaugural award in my name and celebrate the very best we can achieve. We design to satisfy a client’s desired outcomes. But at the same time, we need to satisfy wider stakeholders that we have created buildings and infrastructure which benefit the community and create an improved and uplifting environment. To achieve this, we must be creative, innovate, and challenge ourselves and our colleagues in a collaborative approach – and this award recognises a project team that exemplifies these very qualities.”
