According to Echo Group managing
director, Monique Eggebeen, who
chairs the CMA’s Awards committee,
the essential purpose of the awards is to recog-
nise excellence in the use of precast concrete
and to honour those professionally associated
with its diverse applications.
“This is the pinnacle event in the precast
concrete construction calendar and it presents
an outstanding opportunity for CMAmembers,
both large and small, to showcase their prod-
ucts and to establish themselves as trendsetters
in the use of precast concrete,” says Eggebeen.
The competition is open to all providing the
precast products entered for the competition
were made by a CMA member. Entries must be
submitted by no later than 16 October 2015.
There are six award categories in this year’s
competition:
• Aesthetics Commercial
