HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 June 2026 - Organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers (HKICM / the Institute), the biennial flagship event of the construction industry—the 6^th Construction Management Awards (the Awards)—is now open for nominations. Since its debut in 2016, the Awards have received enthusiastic support from the industry, successfully gathering outstanding construction professionals. By recognizing the cornerstone professionals of the construction sector—such as construction managers, site managers, and engineers—the Awards acknowledge their practices and exceptional contributions in their professional fields, actively driving the professional development of the industry while nurturing and attracting younger generations of talent. Deepening "Corporate Leadership, On-Site Implementation" to Reflect Excellent Governance Standards Entering its sixth edition, the Awards continue to uphold their mission of creating a credible exchange platform for industry elites. In recent years, with society's high emphasis on occupational safety and health, along with the widespread application of smart construction technologies, site safety has gone far beyond the traditional, rigid mindset of "checking in and re-inspecting". The Institute thoroughly understands that excellent site safety performance does not rely solely on the routine compliance execution of frontline sites; it must stem from the forward-looking vision and comprehensive policy drive of corporate management. To this end, this year's Awards have comprehensively enhanced the judging criteria. Building upon the existing award categories, the judging perspective has been extended from frontline construction management to the macro corporate level, significantly increasing the weight of the "Safety" element in scoring to elevate industry standards. This edition will more comprehensively and deeply review the effectiveness of corporations in formulating and implementing safety management policies. In addition to frontline execution capabilities, the judging panel will place greater emphasis on how corporations promote an excellent construction safety culture from a policy level, including integrating tech solutions like Smart Site Safety Systems (SSSS) into long-term development strategies to safeguard site safety. Furthermore, special emphasis is placed this year on how corporations establish long-term accident prevention and continuous improvement mechanisms through institutional frameworks, embedding safety concepts into the core of corporate governance to lead a comprehensive transformation of the safety culture in Hong Kong's construction industry. Inaugural "Excellent Construction Safety Culture Award" with a Dedicated Judging Panel Establishes Industry AuthorityCr Alfred TANG, President of the Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers, stated: "Site safety has always been the core focus most valued by the Government and the Institute. The Institute firmly believes that 'Corporate Leadership, Safety Implementation, Everyone's Responsibility' is the key to driving industry transformation. To encourage more developers, main contractors, and stakeholders to actively play a top-down driving role, this year's Awards have introduced the 'Excellent Construction Safety Culture Award', supported by an independent 'Dedicated Safety Judging Panel' composed of top senior safety experts and consultants in the industry to review the long-term effectiveness of corporate safety policies from the most rigorous and professional perspective. We firmly believe that this brand-new award and dedicated judging mechanism will effectively drive continuous progress in Hong Kong's construction industry, laying a solid foundation for building a sustainable, safe, and highly efficient future." The "Construction Management Awards 2026" is opening for nominations from today until 31 August 2026.
