The latter four Awards have been made available for projects
where not all of the project partners wish to participate
in a Whole Project Award application, or where individual
project team members wish to have their own contribution
assessed alongside a Whole Project Award.
In addition, the Client & Design Award is available
as an Interim Client & Design Award on the way to a
Whole Project Award.
If a Whole Project Award is applied for early in the project
process, it is not necessary for the construction contractor
to have been appointed.
Further details on the different types of Award –
and the cost of applying for them – are outlined in
the CEEQUAL
feescale (PDF).
What level of achievement merits a CEEQUAL Award?
CEEQUAL assesses the extent to which the project has exceeded
the statutory and regulatory minima – doing no more
than what is legally required would therefore result in
a very low score.
It is also worth noting that a 100% score is not possible
because of conflicting environmental issues in the assessment.
The Award thresholds, based on the maximum possible score
for that project after the scoping-out is agreed by the
Assessor and Verifier, are:
For an ‘Excellent’ Award, the percentage score
is given on the Award certificate. This provides an incentive
for project teams, where appropriate and cost-effective,
to go beyond the threshold for an excellent score.
