Revealed: Shortlist for 2023 ME Digital Construction Awards
Nearly 100 nominations were submitted across 12 categories, following which a panel of judges studied each to create the shortlist
The Big Project Middle East (BPME) editorial team has revealed the shortlist of companies, individuals and projects ahead of the first edition of its ME Digital Construction Awards. The gala dinner event is scheduled to take place on 15 March at the Habtoor Polo Resort in Dubai.
According to the BPME editorial team, nearly 100 nominations were submitted for consideration across 12 categories by the time nominations closed in late February 2023. Each nomination then went through two rounds of judging; the first was conducted by the BPME editorial team, following which the remaining nominations were deliberated on by a panel of five judges.
The inaugural event features 12 curated categories including: Excellence in Digital Planning and Design Implementation of the Year; Digital Construction Project of the Year; Big Project ME’s Technology Champion of the Year; Digital Construction Company of the Year (Contractor); Digital Construction Company of the Year (Consultant); Digital Construction Technology Provider of the Year (Software); Digital Construction Technology Provider of the Year (Hardware); Digital Construction Technology SME of the Year; Digital Construction Innovator of the Year; Net-Zero Technology Champion of the Year; Digital Collaboration Champion for the Year, and Digital Visionary of the Year.
“As the regional construction industry becomes increasingly digitalised, the BPME editorial team felt it was time for a separate awards event to celebrate the companies and individuals that are pioneering the sector’s digital future. We’re pleased with the response we’ve received thus far, particularly with regards to the number of nominations submitted to each category. We look forward to revealing the winners at our gala event on 15 March and to following new developments in digital construction thereafter,” said Jason Saundalkar, Head of Content at BPME.
