The Property Awards

Built for recognition

What are the Property Awards?

Since 1987, UCEM has presented its annual Property Award to a person or organisation which has made an outstanding contribution to the property industry.

Property tycoon, Godfrey Bradman, was the inaugural winner of the Property Award and there has been a diverse range of recipients since that first year.

Previous Property Award recipients include: Sir Michael Latham – author of The Latham Report which transformed the modern construction industry; the National Trust; and our Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales.

In 2015, two extra awards were added to the event – the Alumni Award and Academic Excellence Award.

The Alumni Award goes to a former student of UCEM who has made an outstanding contribution in their early career towards creating a better built environment, while the Academic Excellence Award recognises the academic excellence and quality of a recent student’s research or dissertation submission.
