Following an extensive judging process by experts in the regional construction industry, the shortlisted nominees for the fifth edition of the Middle East Consultant Awards have been announced.
This 2019 edition attracted more than 160 nominations from regional consultants across 20 categories. According to the editorial team at Middle East Consultant, the Executive of the Year, Multi-Discipline Consulting Company of the Year, Project of the Year, Sustainable Consultancy of the Year and Women in Construction: Professional of the Year categories were the most nominated for categories.
The editorial team also stated that the overall strength of nominations for this year’s awards was higher than what was observed in earlier editions.
“This year several categories received in excess of 14 individual nominations, while the quality and strength of each individual submission was also quite strong. It’s obvious that professional services firms are eager to highlight their talent and great work in the region, and see the MEC Awards as a platform to earn recognition,” said Jason Saundalkar, Editor of Middle East Consultant magazine.
