The winner will have displayed a wide-ranging set of personal abilities and skills including product/system technical knowledge, team management skills, organisational and problem-solving expertise and the ability to direct and deliver a successful project/scheme to completion to achieve client objectives.
Particular note will be given to those overcoming any unusual construction sites, difficult planning requirements and using a diverse group of people.
Entry Questions:
1. Describe how your project demonstrates the highest levels of technical achievement, innovation, and best practice in the use of timber technology and why this approach was chosen when compared to competing materials.
2. Explain how the use of timber technology has provided a major element in the delivery of the final project – e.g. cost and budget-predictability, speed of installation, long term value, overall sustainability and building performance.
3. Explain your approach to sustainability, how you have employed circular economy principles, measured carbon and quantified environmental impact, waste reduction, biomimicry, less transport, installation time etc. Please highlight use of PEFC/FSC and certified material where appropriate.
4. Evidence how the final building/project outcome has been judged by the client and/or awarding body -what boundaries have been pushed and what can the wider construction industry learn from this project?
5. Give FIVE key reasons why your project is exceptional and should be considered as the best project this year. Can it be seen as a future example for others to follow, e.g. aesthetics and architectural impact, low carbon approach, thermal efficiency, use of digital tools, skills development, structural and engineering excellence.
