only confer national prestige and industrywide recognition but also qualifies winners for a shot at the FIABCI International Prix d’ Excellence Award presented at its annual World Congress, scheduled in May 2016 at Panama City.

The Selection Process As far as FIABCI Malaysia is concerned, it is no mean feat to be rated the best of the best, considering the adjudication process that takes seven to eight months, governed at every stage by stringent rules and regulations. It begins with the nomination phase, where projects are received and studied by the Organising Committee for“ preliminary eligibility”. Qualified nominees are then scrutinised by independent teams of evaluators whose analysis reports, opinions and markings( scoring) are presented to the Committee for further analysis and determination of each project’ s merits. Subsequently, a jury panel short-lists the best three projects for consideration by independent judges whose decision is finally forwarded to the Independent Public Auditor for verification.

The Winners’ Circle B & I Worldwide joins the industry in congratulating the following winners for their outstanding achievements in the various categories: � ENVIRONMENTAL( REHABILITATION / CONSERVATION) CATEGORY: Senibong Cove – Lunchoo River by Front Concepts Sdn Bhd
