Demolition Awards

How to Enter

The awards will be judged on the following categories.

The basic criteria is simple – the judges will want all entrants to tell them why they think their firm or project is special, and why it should be selected as a winner.

Companies can submit entries for more than one award, and more than one entry per category, should they so wish. There is no charge for entering.

Demolition Job of the Year
Tell the judges why you think a particular contract merits special recognition. It may have been unusually complex or demanding. It would almost certainly have been delivered on time and budget, and would have been completed entirely safely. A client testimonial would normally be expected.

Who can enter?
Open to all. Entries should relate to all or part of the 18 month period from January 2008 to June 2009.

Demolition Contractor of the Year
Can you demonstrate an excellent and improving performance in one or more areas of your business? For example, how have you improved your levels of customer service? Are the training needs of your employees being met, and what investment have you made and how are you performing financially? The judges will also consider your environmental and recycling performance and how your firm contains noise and pollution.

Entries should relate to work carried out in all or part of the 18-month period from January 2008 to June 2009.

Demolition Safety Award
Demolition companies have made huge efforts to improve their safety performance in recent years, but more can always be done. This important award will recognise companies that have had a significant impact on safe work practices, preventing injuries and lowering the risks of accidents. The judges will be looking for proof of a proactive approach to safety, backed up by facts and figures.

Demolition Training Award
With good skills often in short supply, successful companies will be those that train and retain their key staff. The judges will want to see evidence of a contractor’s commitment to developing its people at all levels, from site to boardroom – and evidence of the impact on the business.

Demolition and Recycling Environmental Award
The winner of this category will be able to demonstrate a real commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its operations. As well as clear evidence of effective recycling strategies, the judges will be looking for evidence of “green” working practices, investment in ‘cleaner’ equipment and effective control of noise, pollution and disturbance.

Best Explosive Demolition Award
