Run by the Construction Employers Federation (CEF), the awards celebrate the best construction and civil engineering projects delivered by Northern Irish companies over the past year.
The ‘Showcase of Finalists’ event was held at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine at Queen’s University Belfast, and among those attending were representatives from O’Hare & McGovern which won the Overall Award at the 2015 Construction Excellence Awards.
Speaking at the event, CEF Managing Director, John Armstrong, said, “The sheer scale and variety of the work on display is testament to the high level of quality, skill, and innovation that underpins the construction industry in Northern Ireland.
“Our annual Construction Excellence Awards are a celebration of the fantastic work that the sector delivers every year across the UK, Ireland and further afield and, importantly, recognise the huge contribution that the sector makes to the local economy.
“Our panel of judges, who have been visiting each of the shortlisted projects to identify the 14 category winners and the overall winner, have been hugely impressed with the calibre of entries this year and now have very difficult decisions to make. I warmly congratulate all of this year’s shortlisted companies and wish them every success in the awards.”
The winners of the Construction Excellence Awards 2016 will be revealed at a Gala Dinner on October 6 in the Culloden Hotel.
