Structural Steel Design Awards 2014 – Introduction

by David W. Lazenby CBE – Chairman of the Judges

In spite of the tough times which the industry has been experiencing, the judges have found the Awards submissions this year to be exciting, innovative and of genuinely high quality.

Each of the selected shortlist of 12 projects has been visited by the judges, and discussions held with the teams. Spread across the UK, and covering a wide range of types, from large commercial to domestic, and from a variety of bridges to remarkable sculptural work, they have impressed us. All of the shortlist have been found to be of high quality.

I am confident that clients and the industry itself will join us in recognising excellence, and find inspiration particularly from the winners.
