Celebrating 20 years of excellence
Construction World’s Best Projects Awards was held for the 20th year on Wednesday. A black tie event was hosted at Victoria Yards in Johannesburg and attended by 150 people.
Best Projects is the only award in South Africa that celebrates excellence across the entire built environment and recognises civil engineers, building contractors, specialist contractors and suppliers, architects and consulting engineers. In addition, the ‘Innovation award for sustainable construction’ sponsored by AfriSam is given to excellence in construction sustainability. AfriSam has also been the main sponsor of the event since Best Projects’ inception. They were joined by Den Braven (bronze sponsor), Sika (associate sponsor) and Cement and Concrete South Africa (sponsor).
Best Projects are independently judged by stalwarts of the built environment: Trueman Goba, Nico Maas and Uwe Putlitz.
