For details of how to enter and more information on the judging process, please download an [[Media:SSDA_Entry_Form_2024.pdf|entry form]].
 +
<br>

 +
'''Why enter?'''<br>
 +
If your project is shortlisted, your company would have the kudos of being part of a prestigious Awards scheme - one with a long history, focused solely on steel construction and the only one where expert judges visit every shortlisted project to truly appreciate its qualities. In addition, you’ll receive:
 +
 
 +
*Free publicity for you, your project and your client, both online and in the construction press.
 +
*Free attendance at a major Awards event in central London for your project team.
 +
*Recognition of excellence for your project, be it large or small.
 +
<br>
 +
'''How to succeed?'''<br>
 +
Plan ahead and involve the whole project team from the outset in preparing a high-quality submission, don’t leave it to the last minute. Read the entry criteria and particularly the ‘Submission Material’ section on the entry form and provide exactly what is required, nothing more, nothing less. In addition:
 +
 
 +
*High quality photos will portray your project at its best.
 +
*A well written, flowing description of the context, concept design, outstanding features and key construction details will allow the judges to swiftly appreciate the essence of your project.
 +
*Broad representation from all parties at the judges’ visit will demonstrate collaboration and enthusiasm.

Latest revision as of 05:45, 29 September 2023

The objective of the Structural Steel Design Awards is to celebrate the excellence of the United Kingdom in the field of steel construction, particularly demonstrating its potential in terms of efficiency, cost effectiveness, aesthetics, sustainability and innovation.

Each year the awards scheme attracts many excellent entries from widely ranging projects. Successful projects are expected to have a minimum threshold of excellence in architectural and engineering terms and to be cost effective. Each year’s entries reflect the increasingly high standards that are being achieved, not only in design and all aspects of fabrication, but also in short construction programmes and accuracy on site.

2018 saw the 50th Structural Steel Design Awards jointly sponsored by BCSA and Trimble Solutions (UK) Ltd. To mark the occasion, BCSA gathered together details of all the previous Award-winning projects and presented them as a montage of images here. Clicking on the project name below each image reveals further project details, images and the judges’ comments.
