Janice Judges Prestigious CIOB Awards

As part of her role as Chair of the Chartered Institute of Building in Scotland, Janice has been tasked with judging the finalists of this year’s awards.

With the awards ceremony due to take place on the 11th of October at the gorgeous DoubleTree by Hilton in Glasgow, the panel of judges including Janice have been truly blown away by the nominations for this year’s awards.

The team of judges has spent weeks inspecting the finer details of the nominated projects in the search for worthy winners. This year’s award categories include Graduate of the Year, Project Professional of the Year, Trailblazer of the Year, and Project Manager of the Year.

Janice was asked by Scottish Construction Now for some insight into this year’s competition:

How impressed have you been by the standard of nominations?

“I am always impressed by the standard of entries but this year especially,” asserted Steel, associate at Quantum Solutions and chair of CIOB’s Central Scotland Hub.

“It’s been great to read what each candidate has done and how they go above and beyond to deliver a quality experience in the delivery of their project on behalf of their employer.”

Why do you think the CIOB Awards in Scotland are important for the Scottish Construction sector?

“As an industry, we deliver some outstanding projects,” continued Steel.

“Whether in residential, commercial, industry, infrastructure, or utilities, rarely do we praise individual people at various levels of experience/seniority and the ‘unsung heroes’ within the design/delivery teams who contributed to the success of the project delivery.

“On behalf of CIOB in Scotland, we are very proud to have pitched our categories to do just that.”
