The Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service and the Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry are inviting entries for the Greater Cambridge Design and Construction Awards 2025.

The awards celebrate the best in the design and construction of our built environment, and the skilled people who make it happen. 

Previous winners of the awards include: The Technology Partnership (TTP) in Melbourne; St. Mary’s School STEM Lab; the landscape at Turing Locke Hotel in Eddington; Bourn Windmill; Clare College River Café; John’s College Buttery; and Bailey’s Studios on Eden Street.

Judging for the Building Awards covers all aspects of the building, including design, sustainability, engineering, workmanship, and construction. 

Alison Wring, CFCI Chair, said: 

We are excited to be supporting the annual Design and Construction Awards, coming together to celebrate everything that the Greater Cambridgeshire region has accomplished within our geography. 

We celebrate individuals, and teams, with the creativity and passion to deliver exemplar facilities within the built environment - awards across the spectrum of the industry highlighting our regional prowess, envied at national and international level of the continually high standards we achieve and surpass.”

Cllr Katie Thornburrow, Executive Councillor for Planning Policy and Transport, Cambridge City Council, said: 

“This area is rightly celebrated nationally for the quality of architecture and urban design in our new buildings. 

These awards celebrate the best work from our construction sector at the whole range of scales, from small projects to major schemes. 

They allow us to highlight the number of people and variety of skills that contribute to the success of the construction industry in the local area, and the high level of professionalism that they attain.”

 Cllr Dr Tumi Hawkins, South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Lead Cabinet Member for Planning Policy and Delivery, said: 

“The Greater Cambridge Design and Construction Awards allow the two Councils to showcase what can be achieved when developers and the local authority work together to deliver the best for our local communities.”

If you know of a recently completed building project, contractor or person working in the construction industry that you think is deserving of recognition then please consider entering them for the Greater Cambridge Design and Construction Awards 2025.

Entries should be submitted by 8 January 2025, and the award winners will be announced in a ceremony on 12 March 2025. Tickets are available here: https://www.cfci.org.uk/event/greater-cambridge-design-and-construction-awards-2025/
