CWAB AWARDS: BIGGER . GREATER . GRANDER
The CONSTRUCTION WORLD Architect and Builder Awards were instituted by ASAPP
Info Global Group in 2006. They are India’s most coveted awards for the architecture and building industry. The awards recognize the people and organizations responsible for the changing landscape of our country - the Top Architects and the Top Builders of India – and felicitate them. The growth of the event over the past 10 years is in tandem with the industry’s growth in India and has gained in stature and importance with each passing year.
The CWAB Awards, for the past 10 years, have featured the best speakers from across the globe who have spoken on various themes like INNOVISION, YOUTH, GREEN etc. The 10th year event celebrated the DECADE OF EXCELLENCE where we felicitated all our past winners – with over 50 of them, it was perhaps the largest gathering of Architects and Builders across the country on one platform.
Entries for the Noteworthy Projects and Interior Designer categories are solicited through a general call for entries against a minimum threshold for years in the business, range and quality of work among several other factors. Again, a jury makes the final selection.
