Excellence in Construction Award to highlight outstanding practices

Malta s inaugural Excellence in Construction Awards will honor contractors demonstrating exceptional practices in February. Organized by QP, a Maltese construction company with international operations, the event aims to set a standard for contractors and developers to follow. Reuben Xuereb, CEO of QP, advocates for the government to introduce standards certification that surpasses contractors licenses, as such certifications are often required for international projects. The awards, supported by the government and various industry stakeholders, are endorsed by construction reform minister Jonathan Attard. He believes the initiative will promote higher standards in the construction sector, recognizing excellence, encouraging collaboration, and inspiring future generations to engage in good practices. Contractors interested in nomination can apply here, and the winners of the 12 award categories will be selected by an international jury. The categories include dedication to sustainability, quality and workmanship, workforce training and development, commitment to wellbeing, health and safety, innovation, research and development, excellence in demolition and excavation works, excellence in infrastructure and civil works, excellence in mechanical and electrical installations, excellence in finishing works, and conservation awareness. The Excellence in Construction Awards is supported by the construction reform ministry and endorsed by various organizations, including the University of Malta, the Occupational Health & Safety Authority, the Building and Construction Authority, the Malta Development Association, Kamra tal Periti, the Malta Chamber of Construction Management, the Chamber of Engineers, Assoċjazzjoni Bennejja u Kuntratturi, the National Building Council, the Malta ESG Alliance, and the Environment and Resource Authority.
