The “Alliance Award” was given to those projects that demonstrate excellence in undertaking construction project management, evaluating the 8 principles of “the better way.” These are:

• People who believe that working together makes all of us more effective

• Processes fostering co-operation instead of confrontation

• Contracts fair, clean and simple, contract management in mutual respect

• Costs, transparent and competitive, reasonable profit for all

• Quality as our prime goal at a price that is acceptable to all

• Life cycle, sustainable projects, designed with all phases in mind

• Time, target dates set professionally, reasonably and jointly.

• Challenges, identified and solved in joint responsibility
