Awards & Recognition

Entering the CIOB Awards provides you with the opportunity for your skills and abilities to be recognised. These prestigious awards will be a springboard in your career unlike any other; many of our previous medal winners have gone on to work on iconic landmarks like Canary Wharf and The Shard.

Where It All Began

The CIOB Awards evening really is a night to remember. Our Construction Manager of the Year Award (CMYA) category is the most prestigious of them all. For over 40 years these awards have been showcasing incredible talent and highlighting the abilities of Construction Managers across the UK every year. An in-depth judging process ensures that the calibre of winners is consistently high, and as a result, the awards have a reputation for identifying the future leaders in the construction industry.

Over time, new awards have been introduced; the Rising Star Award, the President’s Award, Client of the Year, and Team of the Year. These have been combined with CMYA to create the CIOB Awards.

Construction Manager of the Year

More than four decades ago our Construction Manager of the Year Awards began its journey to find the very best examples of excellence and professionalism in the industry.

Rising Star Award

The International Rising Star Award celebrates new, exceptional talent in the industry. It awards individuals who have demonstrated the highest level of excellence at the very start of their career in construction.

Client Award

Clients are a critical component of any project, and clients that promote the production of buildings that have an impact on the wider environment and society are celebrated with the CIOB Client Award.

Team Award

Teamwork is a key component of every project, and with the CIOB Team Award, we recognise the achievements of not just the individuals, but the team as a whole.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Award

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Awards seek to recognise both an individual and an organisation that has demonstrated exceptional commitment to the promotion of EDI.

Client Award

The CIOB Sustainability Award celebrates those who have made their mark on sustainability within the built environment.
