The awards are sponsored by The Bath Stone Group (BSG) producers and manufacturers of their award winning Bath Stone.

Awards are presented in two categories – Building Quality and Design Quality – for domestic extensions, new build (housing), new build (commercial/public) and works to historic/listed buildings.

This year a new Environmental award is being introduced which will be given to the designer of the scheme demonstrating the most innovative and effective methods to conserve fuel and power.

The design awards are judged by an independent panel of architects and the award ceremony will be held at the Guildhall, Bath in January.
