The 9th South African Construction Awards

This popular event is held yearly to recognise superior construction projects built by South African companies. An elegant banquet to recognise the winners is the fitting culmination and takes place in October of each year. This prestigious event was launched in 2007 to promote the work and achievements of engineers, architects, project managers and construction companies around the country. As well as giving some inspirational people the recognition they deserve, the event provides a platform for ambitious business owners to make big leaps in the construction industry. These ambitious business people will be able to use the award to generate significant coverage for their companies.

The event was graced by the presence of empowering leaders such as Dr Richard Maponya, Mr Hlaudi Motseneng, Mr Thulas Nxesi and many more leaders. The call for nominations for the South African Construction Awards resulted in 52 nominations. Finalists are judged by a panel of industry peers selected for their knowledge and experience in the industry, including the media. Judges are grouped in teams of five, but independently review and score nominees. Each group assesses approximately three categories. The judges were looking for sustainable businesses that are making a real contribution to the South African economy with passion, planning and a commitment to excellence and innovation.

The President of the SA Construction Awards Mr Loyiso Ngavu said to all delegates that winning nationally is an outstanding accomplishment and is a testament to "merit the SA building and construction sector" and the companies who choose to build that way. “The South African Construction Awards is a super event and a chance to network whilst celebrating the best of what construction and engineering does,” SABC Group Executive of Corporate Affairs, Hlaudi Motsoeneng said. Minister of Public works Thulas Nxesi's input was: “To the award-winners, let me say this: your hard work and creativity has paid off. You have been justifiably honoured by your peers. Let me also say that by recognising excellence in the work of these individuals and companies, we also raise the bar and we inspire others to emulate their example."
