How do you join Balfour Beatty, McLaughlin u0026amp; Harvey, AtkinsRéalis, Sir Robert McAlpine, Graham and L Lynch on the list of winners at the Digital Construction Awards?
Here are the top tips to improve your chance of being shortlisted, and therefore having a chance of winning, at the Digital Construction Awards.
- Study the criteria closely.
- Make sure you’re entering the correct category.
- Review who won last year and read about their winning entries to understand what caught the judges’ attention.
- The entry form sets out the story that your entry needs to tell. Answer the questions and provide the information requested.
- Take the time to draft a formal entry rather than simply uploading content from marketing collateral: your entry will be all the better for this.
- Use clear, plain English.
- Jargon: construction is awash with it, but avoid using too much of it in your entry.
- In the Challenge section, be mindful that as experienced and knowledgeable as the judges are, they may not have heard of your firm or project before. Provide the necessary context.
- In most categories, the Benefits and Achievements section is worth up to 20 points, so make sure you share detailed results of your work here.
- Get a colleague to proof your entry before you submit it.
The entry deadline is 7 March. The shortlists will be announced on 6 May. The Digital Construction Awards winners will be revealed at a gala dinner on 1 July at The Brewery in London.
