The Culardoch Sheiling in the Cairngorms, Waverley Arches in Edinburgh and Campus Future’s Project – Glasgow Caledonian University are just some of the projects going head to head as the Scottish shortlist for the RICS Awards 2017 is announced.

The awards showcase the most inspirational regional initiatives and developments in land, property, construction and the environment, celebrating the achievements of professionals working in both the built and natural environment.

Eight category winners across Building Conservation, Commercial property, Community Benefit, Design through Innovation, Regeneration, Residential, Tourism & Leisure and Infrastructure will be selected from the 36 shortlisted entries to the awards in April.

One shortlisted entry will also receive the coveted Project of the Year, Scotland award.

The winners from all categories will then be invited to represent Scotland and compete against projects from across the UK at the RICS Awards Grand Final in London in October.

Gail Hunter, director RICS in Scotland, said: “There are some great projects shortlisted for the RICS Awards 2017, which demonstrate the quality of new and regenerated developments of all sizes across Scotland, and I am sure it will be a tough judging process.

“Throughout the last few years Scottish winners have also had great success at the Award finals in London, gaining UK-wide recognition for the quality of work taking place in the Scottish built environment.”

Judging for the awards will take place in coming weeks, with the RICS Awards 2017, Scotland ceremony being held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa on April 26. The RICS Awards UK national ceremony will take place in London in October.
