Enter the Delivering Value Category. Recognising Projects that Prioritise True Value Over Cost! 🏆 The construction and built environment are fundamental to shaping our society and economy. But to unlock better long-term outcomes, we must move beyond cost-driven decisions and take a holistic, value-based approach. That’s where the Delivering Value category at the Constructing Excellence SECBE Awards, sponsored by SCF Frameworks , comes in! Why Value Matters: To deliver the best possible outcomes, clients and stakeholders must consider the wider benefits of a project, not just cost, but also Produced, Natural, Social, and Human capital. Tools like the Value Toolkit help define what true value looks like, ensuring informed decisions throughout both the construction phase and the lifetime of an asset. What the Judges Are Looking For: ✅ A clear definition of value – with strong stakeholder buy-in ✅ Empowered delivery teams – encouraged to innovate and find the best solutions ✅ Measurable success – demonstrating how the project met its value-based goals If your project is a shining example of value-led decision-making, this is your chance to gain recognition and set the benchmark for best practices in the industry.
