CIOB Awards Ireland

More than twenty years ago, our Construction Manager of the Year Awards (CMYA) began its journey in Ireland to find the very best examples of excellence and professionalism in the industry.

Why enter?

The best in the business

Winning an award at CMYA Ireland can provide you with a wealth of new opportunities and be a springboard in your career unlike any other. In fact, many of our previous CMYA medal winners have said that the awards have had hugely positive effects on their career. You will meet leaders and other upcoming talent from throughout the built environment, making entering the competition a networking opportunity like no other.

It’s about more than a building

The Construction Manager of the Year celebrates the achievements of those who inspire, lead and enable the very best delivery of a project and produce buildings that have a positive impact on those who use them. Our judges look beyond the building, at the project as a whole. It’s not about being the biggest or most impressive but about the individuals who make these projects possible, and the impacts they deliver.

Become Chartered

Once you become a finalist, you will be eligible for Chartered Membership of the CIOB.

Judging Process

Once applications close, the judging process takes place in two stages:

Stage 1: Assessment

After the application deadline, the judges start assessing the submitted forms. You will be informed in early May if you have made it through to the next stage.

Stage 2: Project Visit & Interview

Judges will visit your site so you can talk through some of the key aspects of your project. This stage usually takes place between May and July. There will then be a formal interview, either on the site or nearby. You will be able to bring up to three supporters, clients or line managers with you to support you.

This will be finalised and advised to applicants closer to the time.
