Construction Industry News
In its 17th edition - and featuring the past two years of a virtual affair - the CONSTRUCTION WORLD Architect & Builder Awards, popularly known as CWAB Awards, were back this year with the offline edition, hosted at Hotel Sahara Star, Mumbai, on August 26 Aiming to reward and recognize architects and builders from across the country, winners were announced and awarded in India's Top Architects and Builders - National categories; Top Architect and Builder in East, West, North and South; and notable projects in the categories Residential, Commercial, Hospitality, Retail, Institutional, Interior and International.
As stallholders from across the country received their awards, the evening was graced by chief guest His Excellency Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Governor of Maharashtra, special guests from the consulate of Canada, Indonesia and Qatar, event partners, a delighted audience, and the stars of the evening - the winners. And each year according to a theme by which projects are judged and awarded, this year's theme for the CWAB Awards 2022 was S.W.O.T – Sustainability. Welfare. On-site adaptability. Technology.
Setting the perfect tone for the evening, in his welcome address, Pratap Padode, Founder, FIRST BUILDING COUNCIL & CONSTRUCTION WORLD, said: "On August 15, as we celebrated the 75th year of India's independence, I felt that CONSTRUCTION WORLD, with its coverage of 800 cities in India, made a small contribution through 25 years out of those 75 and given the journey of the building and construction industry. Excellence is the parameter and benchmark for building real estate, infrastructure and smart cities – and now building smart factories.” He added: "We have the capacity for execution. Once the intention matches it, everything starts to happen. We're here tonight to celebrate those with intent who made it."
In her speech, Falguni Padode, co-founder and group editor-in-chief of ASAPP Info Global Group, explained the methodology of the awards. “This process is long and painstaking and it will take us six months to complete the ceremony today. We will start inviting nominations from all categories at the beginning of the year. This year, we received 715 nominations in various categories: National Architects and Builders, Regional Architects and Builders, and notable projects from across the country. All shortlisted nominees have been judged by a jury and the winners will be presented to you today."
