The 1st ever SAINT-GOBAIN Gyproc Middle East Trophy event was open to projects throughout the Middle East that used the manufacturer’s systems and products. The awards attracted entries from 44 regional construction developments, including residential, healthcare, hospitality, commercial, educational, and leisure projects. Each project was judged against a list of criteria, which focused on craftsmanship, the quality of dry-lining workmanship, and the quality of the overall scheme.
The six winning projects went on to win two awards at the 11th International Saint-Gobain Trophy, which was held in Lisbon, Portugal in 2018 beating the best projects from around the world.
