MEEDs flagship awards programme recognises quality in construction across the region. Projects will have to be submitted by 12 January
The $2.8 trillion-worth of projects planned or under way in the GCC are laying the foundations for the long-term, sustainable development of the region.
MEED aims to support these ambitions by recognising and celebrating the best achievements of the regions projects industry through its annual MEED Quality Awards for Projects. Now in its seventh year, the programme has established itself as the leading stamp of quality and achievement for the GCC projects sector.
Register your details at projectsawards.meed.com today in order to gain access to the online entry form for your specific category. Your project has the chance to win at national level and then compete at regional level to become the overall GCC winner of a category. All winners will be recognised at a glittering awards ceremony to be held on 3 May 2017.
The awards not only recognise the construction element of project delivery, but also consider the value and quality of a project throughout its life-cycle, from the design concept through to engineering and construction and its contribution to society and to the environment. Central to the success of the awards has been the authority provided by the core values of integrity, trust and transparency associated with the MEED name.
