The Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association (LRWA) has revealed the shortlist for its 2024 Awards & Gala Dinner.
A total of 20 project finalists have been chosen across four categories. A panel of independent judges – including liquid waterproofing specialists, specifiers and contractors – reviewed all submissions anonymously to reveal the shortlist.
The selection process was based on strict criteria, including project complexity, standard of workmanship, evidence of problem solving, and aesthetics. The names of the contractor and manufacturer in each entry were omitted prior to judging.
The winners of each category will be announced at a gala dinner on Wednesday 20 March 2024 at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool’s Stanley Dock. As well as a winner for each project category, there will be a highly commended award.
As in previous years, the gala dinner will also recognise the talents of individuals, including awards for ‘Special Recognition of Excellence in Training’ and ‘Student of the Year’.
The LRWA Awards is now in its sixth year. Sarah Spink, CEO of the LRWA said thanks to headline sponsors, Sika, and other membership support, 2024 is planned to be the biggest event yet.
