What makes one construction project stand out from another? Why is one regarded as a landmark scheme as opposed to others? What makes a CEW Award winner? The answer is not straightforward, but when you see a series of award winning projects then the pieces of the jigsaw fall into place. Because CEW is all about sharing best practice we make every effort to highlight the learning from our CEW Award winners. After all, they are all landmark schemes or driven onwards by dynamic leaders. Over the next few weeks we will feature a summary of three of our award winners to help you determine if you can be a CEW Award winner in 2014.

Each of the winners from 2013 we will touch upon are also CE National Award winners as well – the best of the best in the UK, not just Wales. This is an important fact as recent construction data indicates that Wales is outperforming the rest of the UK.  Within the Welsh construction industry we have had a sense of progress and an instinct that our commitment to collaborative procurement and integrated team working is delivering consistent results. Now we have the proof and the history of great award winners to back up our claims. We do not want to rest on our laurels. We want to showcase more winners and we want to continue to set a high benchmark for the rest of the UK construction industry. 

That’s why we want you to enter the 2014 CEW Awards
