BUILD Construction and Engineering Awards 2024

At the forefront of the recognition is the BUILD Construction and Engineering Awards 2024, where Praxis Resilient Buildings was named a winner. Each year, the BUILD research and judging team carefully evaluates trailblazing companies that are shaping the construction and engineering industries. This year’s campaign examined all phases of the construction process—from design and planning to execution and maintenance. With construction representing over 13% of the global GDP and employing over 200 million people, Praxis Resilient Buildings’ achievements stand out as a reflection of the sector’s innovation and growth.

Additionally, Oliver Style, CEO of Praxis Resilient Buildings, was personally awarded “Most Dedicated Architecture & Engineering CEO 2024 (Spain)” by CEO Monthly in their Global CEO Excellence Awards. The awards spotlight CEOs who go above and beyond for their teams and industries. Style’s dedication to his company, combined with his leadership in sustainable construction, earned him this prestigious accolade.

Reflecting on the double win, Oliver Style commented:

“It is a great honour to receive these two awards from BUILD and CEO Monthly, and I thank both organizations. These awards are the result of a lot of hard work, and above all, teamwork, for which I’d like to personally thank Bega Clavero and Macarena Rossetti for their dedication and commitment. Lastly, we’d be nothing without our wonderful clients: a big thank you to them all for putting their trust in us and for daring to put sustainable construction at the heart of what they do.””

These awards are a testament to the innovation and resilience that underpin the work of Praxis Resilient Buildings, as we continue to push the boundaries of sustainable architecture and engineering in an ever-evolving industry..
