Shortlist 2023

 

The 2023 Shortlist

We will look forward to announcing the 2023 shortlist on this page

 

The Judging Panel

Entries will be judged by an esteemed panel of judges with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the housing and construction industry.

 

 The Evaluation Process

Entries will be reviewed and judged by the panel using a matrix scoring system. The judges will be looking for evidence of development, implementation, and application of the issues detailed in each award category. They will score entries based on relevance, outcome and evidence. EEM staff will have no influence in the judging process.
