18 October 2007


Last night around 500 people attended the prestigious 2007 LABC National Built in Quality Awards at the Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane, London.

The awards recognised and rewarded the most forward looking people and organisations, and the most innovative construction projects completed over the last year.

The ceremony itself is the highpoint of the year for the LABC, as the National Awards include many entries from a well-established set of regional awards.
