Eighty of the UK's top construction leaders are set to compete for a number of major industry accolades at this year's Construction Manager of the Year Awards.
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) revealed the final shortlist for 2019, recognising individuals in 11 categories including Schools, Leisure, Restoration and Public and Infrastructure.
First established in 1978, the awards celebrate extraordinary individuals who go above and beyond to deliver buildings that make a positive impact on the lives of the people who use them.
A rigorous assessment process which sees the CMYA judges assess paper applications, as well as conducting site visits and panel interviews, was carried out to create this year's shortlist.
