WINNERS REVIEW
Magheracross Viewpoint in Co. Antrim involved the creation of two viewing platforms – fully accessible for the public – to enjoy the stunning natural vista; spanning Portrush to Dunluce Castle and over to Rathlin and the Mull of Kintyre. The coastal cliff top location presented significant challenges throughout the construction works. However, the Judges noted clear evidence of collaborative and effective partnership working between the client and contractor teams. The Judges believe that overall quality of finishes, user accessibility and location have ensured General Construction Project of the Year, below £1m WINNER: CHARLES BRAND MAGHERACROSS VIEWPOINT, BUSHMILLS L-R: Thomas McIlroy, Sales Manager RTU, Paddy Harney, Director Charles Brand and Martin Roberts Co Host and TV Presenter.

Fit-Out Project of the Year WINNER: GILBERT-ASH PWC HEADQUARTERS, BELFAST
The judges were impressed by this project because of the quality and complexity of the fit-out required. The contractor worked closely with a London-based interior designer to achieve a ‘themed’ floor-by-floor fit-out with exceptionally high attention to detail. The new offices have a luxury feel to the interior with innovative interpretations of how workspaces should be arranged and how private telephone conversations would occur in an open-plan layout. The result is a high-quality workspace which feels relaxed and spacious. The staff amenities and well-being facilities provided make the project unique in terms of provision and support for PwC employees.
that Magheracross Viewpoint has already become an iconic addition to the national tourism offering on the Causeway Coastal Route.
