The finalists represent the successful construction management of a combined £2.3 billion worth of UK building assets.

The managers of five Scottish projects made the shortlist across four of the ten categories:

Due to the exceptionally high standards of the judging process, project managers who reach the CMYA finals in the UK, are invited to become Chartered Construction Managers without undergoing the CIOB’s Professional Review, subject to recommendation by the judges.

Saleem Akram, director at the CIOB, said: “The value of professional construction managers is felt well beyond the construction site. They not only produce outstanding buildings but their work influences the way we live our lives and how we interact with the environment around us.

“Our congratulations go to the finalists who in reaching the final have achieved something very special that will enhance their careers. They have all proved themselves more than equal to a wide range of challenges, combining resourceful and creative application of building technology with inspiring project and team management and top communication skills.

“It is very pleasing to see the less well-known companies in construction putting their best people forward and challenging some of the UK’s biggest brands. Talent exists throughout the industry and CMYA recognises those who are achieving exceptional work no matter where they operate.”

The award has seen some significant changes in the years that the CIOB has been recognising and celebrating management excellence across the construction industry. Effective public private partnerships, the use of digital technologies and successful solutions to environmental challenges are just a few of them.

Winners and medallists will be announced on 8 October 2015 at a prestigious awards dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.
