Judges will be scoring your entry against these six key criteria:

 

Criteria 1: Outcome
Demonstrate how the project has hit the brief, delivering a satisfied client and providing real user benefit and value beyond cost.

Judges will consider: extent of client satisfaction including delivery to cost/time/quality; extent of end user satisfaction in particular any improvement in service performance attributed to the project; judges will also consider impact on other, broader, stakeholders and the extent to which the project is harmonious with its environment and adds social value for the local community.

 

Criteria 2: Digital mindset

Demonstrate how the project team used the latest digital tools and thinking to provide better project outcomes.

Judges will consider: the extent to which the project team has pushed the boundaries for improving quality of design and efficiency and productivity of construction through use of digital tools; to what extent was standardisation/modularisation/offsite construction considered?; has the project developed a digital twin?

 

Criteria 3: Carbon reduction

Demonstrate use of sustainable materials and processes throughout the project, as well as design changes made to the project. Projects will be assessed on the savings made in both embodied and operational carbon.

Judges will consider: whether PAS 2080 principles have been adopted; how carbon reduction/sustainability was addressed at tender stage; how did carbon reduction change the design approach; was a carbon budget set?; was reduction in carbon measured?; where different materials or processes used to reduce carbon/improve sustainability.

 

Criteria 4: Climate resilience

Demonstrate decision making process to boost climate resilience of the finished project to future proof the work against the effects of climate change.

Judges will consider: how the design differs from similar project delivered previously in terms of climate resilience; how the need for climate resilience was assessed; how the risk was addressed without additional hard engineering solutions; whether mitigation measures that benefit the wider community were adopted.

 

Criteria 5: Collaborative working

Demonstrate how closer, more collaborative working has driven better project outcomes in terms of cost, time, quality or any of factor considered crucial to the client.

Judges will consider innovative procurement methods and other approaches to supply chain engagement; has the project explored a enterprise-style model as promoted by Project 13?; is there evidence of shared outcomes and a fair allocation of risk and reward?

 

Criteria 6: Getting it Right

Demonstrate how senior project team leaders created a positive working environment with strong values around equality, diversity and inclusivity; health, safety and wellbeing; community engagement and skills development.

Judges will look for clear evidence of action on equality, diversity and inclusivity; a strong health and safety record; action on worker wellbeing; active community engagement throughout the project; and initiatives to work with local schools and colleges and offer employment to local people.
