Celebrating the best in architectural ironmongery specification
Organised by the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) in conjunction with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the biennial AI Specification Awards identify and reward excellence in the specification of architectural ironmongery in the construction industry.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the AI Specification Awards returns bigger and better than ever. Following the postponement of last year’s awards, the judging panel will be assessing projects completed and products launched over the last 3 years!
Entries are judged on the effectiveness of the architectural ironmongery specification and how it enhances the security, accessibility and safety of the building, whilst also adding to its aesthetics, functionality and longevity.
