HIghlights of the Gala Awards Ceremony

COINS revealed the winners in its Construction Industry Grand Challenge at a gala awards dinner held Wednesday 8th Feb 2017 at the historic Middle Temple Hall in London.

The six winners battled stiff competition to win the acclaimed annual contest, which challenges entrants to share new ideas that could positively impact the built environment and in turn, our society.  The competition aims to attract new people into the industry and encourage the wider construction industry to focus on innovation to create a more efficient and sustainable sector.
