ADJUDICATION PANEL

A distinctive of the Fulton Awards is the fact that the three judges, all well-known experts in their respective fields of concrete technology and application, visits the site of every project entry to fully evaluate the concrete elements of each project.

While visiting the sites, the judges also take the attitude and passion of the teams involved into account. The focus of judging for an award is concentrated on the material – CONCRETE – and not on the project as a whole.

Thus, irrespective of category, the criteria for adjudication that the judges use are:

  • Quality of concrete focusing on finish
  • Sustainability – green building initiatives
  • Inventive uses of concrete
  • Overall aesthetic impact of the concrete aspects of the structure
  • Quality of the concrete finish
  • Standard of workmanship of the concrete
  • Effect of the concrete on the architectural landscape and environment
  • Involvement of local community, transformation, and health & safety initiatives

Introducing the judges: a materials specialist, a professional engineer, and a professional architect.
