Terms & Conditions

Top Ten Awards Eligibility

To be included in the BCI Asia Top Ten Developers / Architects 2023, a firm has to be commissioned as the Developer / Architect for a project reported in BCI Asia’s LeadManager between 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 at the “Main Contractor Awarded” stage. For architects, pre-tender stage projects are also included.

Projects are excluded if they have been “abandoned” or “deferred” during the reporting period.

Projects associated with Green Building Certification, as well as industrial, office and hotel projects, will receive a higher rating by BCI Asia. The effect of the weighting is that firms with these portfolios of projects will have higher odds to make in to the Top Ten Awards.
