4th September 2026

The closing date for entries for the London Construction Awards (LCA) 2026 is Friday, 11^th September at 5pm. The annual awards celebrate the projects, people, products and teams shaping the UK’s built environment. Entry is free, and organisations of every size, including product manufacturers and individual teams, are invited to put their work forward ahead of the deadline.

Why entering matters

For marketing and communications teams across construction and the built environment, industry awards remain one of the most cost-effective ways to generate third-party credibility. A shortlisting or win gives a project, product or team independently judged recognition that can be used across press, social channels, sales conversations and talent attraction, at no cost to enter.

The judging panel is drawn from senior, independent figures across the built environment, meaning recognition carries weight with clients, partners and prospective hires alike. For teams building a case internally for why awards should be part of this year’s marketing plan, the London Construction Awards offers a genuinely free, low-friction route to that kind of recognition.

New for 2026

This year’s awards have been expanded to 21 categories, reflecting the industry’s growing focus on sustainability, building performance and social value, alongside established categories celebrating projects, innovations, teams and achievements across UK construction. One of these categories is the Marketing Team of the Year award, which celebrates the achievements of marketing teams that have demonstrated exceptional strategy, creativity, and effectiveness in promoting their products, services, or projects. Entries will be judged on the team’s ability to develop and implement successful marketing campaigns, their impact on brand visibility, audience engagement, and overall contribution to the marketing landscape in the UK’s construction sector

Other categories include:

Low-Carbon Building Award
Energy-Efficient Innovation of the Year
Retrofit Project of the Year
