EXCELLENCE IN THE USE OF CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE WINNER: COMBINED FACILITIES MANAGEMENT (CFM) Judges applauded CFM for leading the way in digital transformation and championing the future of construction talent with its use of the Yfor apprenticeship logbook specifically designed to meet the needs of construction businesses. Tracking training and career progress for apprentices, while streamlining workforce management for employers, CFM and Yfor have set a new benchmark by harnessing cutting-edge digital tools to empower the next generation of construction professionals. The innovative approach simplifies workflows and also creates an engaging, hands-on learning environment for apprentices, bridging the gap between classroom theory and on-site practice. Apprentices now follow a combined learning plan that integrates both their formal qualification units and CFM-specific training requirements.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT OF THE YEAR WINNER: SEAVIEW DEVELOPMENTS, BALLYMONEY LIBRARY LOW CARBON RETROFIT SCHEME Ballymoney Library represents a landmark in sustainable retrofits as the first public building in the UK to achieve EnerPHit certification. Delivered in partnership with Libraries NI, the project demonstrated outstanding airtightness (0.66 ACH) with deep fabric upgrades and the integration of MVHR and heat pumps leading to a 64% reduction in heating demand and annual carbon savings of 22 tonnes. Beyond energy performance, the library has seen a rise in visitor numbers and membership, showing how building performance improvements can directly enhance community value. Delivered on budget and to exemplary quality standards, Ballymoney Library sets a new benchmark for public building retrofits and is a worthy winner of the 2025 award.
