The first City Construction and Property Awards held last week at the end of the 17th International Building Construction and Property Exhibition, took place at the Accra International Conference Center.

The awards ceremony recognizes the excellence and collective efforts of the entire project team to ensure the successful delivery and completion of a project.

The first award, the coveted Commercial Building - retail award went to the project team for the Toyota Head Office facility along the Accra-Tema Motorway.

Incept Architectural Consult received the award in collaboration with ADK consortium and Battis construction Ltd.

The project architect Ayite Ayee who received the award on behalf of the consortium spoke of the Intense collaboration and teamwork and professionalism exhibited by the project team.

The principal architect, Cecil Abbey, speaking from Archifest 2019 in Singapore was elated at the recognition.

He spoke glowingly of the collaboration shown by the wholly Ghanaian consortium in working closely with a multi-billion dollar company like Toyota to satisfy their precise requirements and produce a building, which in the words of the Japanese Ambassador, was an architectural masterpiece!

At a time where some Ghanaians look outward for solutions, Toyota with its International reach was confident to collaborate with local professionals, he was particularly grateful to the promoters and judges and said this was a testament to Ghanaian excellence.
