The RICS NI Awards are made up of a total of seven categories showcasing a wide variety of building projects spanning from a performing arts centre, a hotel and spa, residential projects and a veterinary hospital, alongside many others. The shortlist includes schemes, projects and public spaces from across all six counties and the winners of each category will also be in contention to win the top prize, Project of the Year.
RICS NI Awards Judging Chairman, Alistair Dunn commented; “The variety of projects that make up this year’s shortlist demonstrates how important the built environment is to Northern Ireland. From hotels and structures that support the development of our tourist industry, to residential areas that provide housing for communities, and projects that drive economic development, this shortlist has it all.
“Each project is a worthy winner and I look forward to recognising them all, and indeed the Project of the Year, at the gala ceremony in May.”
The RICS NI Awards 2016 will take place on Friday 6 May at La Mon Hotel & Country Club, hosted by Property Developer and TV presenter, Gary McCausland.
Northern Ireland winners will also be considered for the overall RICS Awards that will be announced at a gala event in London in October.
