The 2022 Awards witnessed record entries and it was brilliant to see light steel framing systems featured throughout the awards categories including Education Project of the Year, Private Housing Project of the Year, Infrastructure Project of the Year – not to mention the Product Innovation Award. But the Best Use of Steel was the most fiercely contested category.

2022 Winner Best Use of Steel Technology

The teams at Broadland Housing Association, LSFA member Sigmat and R G Carter triumphed on the evening with their Canary Quay project – a four-phased light steel framed development of 323 high specification waterside apartments on the River Wensum near the centre of Norwich.

2023 ENTRY DEADLINE 26 May 2023

Now in the ninth year, the awards recognise projects large and small – it is technical innovation that catches the judge’s eye. So, if you have an outstanding light steel project, now is the time to start planning for the 2023 awards. Supporting information and good imagery is crucial to success! The judges love technical detail of the structural system, so do not wait until the building is finished to appoint a photographer!
