Making Scotland’s places work

The Herald Built for Service Awards is a new national awards programme created to recognise excellence in property service delivery across Scotland.

From residential property management and commercial workplace operations to facilities management, customer experience, sustainability, innovation and specialist suppliers, the awards shine a light on the organisations that make buildings safer, more efficient, better managed and better experienced every day.

The programme fills an important gap in the Scottish property market. While many awards recognise development, design and construction, Built for Service focuses on what happens next: how buildings are managed, maintained and operated once people are living, working and spending time in them.

The awards are open to organisations working in:

  • Property management
  • Facilities management
  • Building operations
  • Occupier and resident experience
  • Operational technology and PropTech
  • Operational sustainability
  • Specialist suppliers and service partners
  • Post-retrofit estate operations

*Estate agency, lettings, development, design and construction-led entries are not eligible.

Relationship to The Herald Property Awards

A new award for the operational property sector

The Built for Service Awards is a separate and distinct programme from The Herald Property Awards for Scotland.

The Herald Property Awards for Scotland celebrates the creation of Scotland’s places through development and design.

The Herald Built for Service Awards celebrates the operational excellence that makes those places work once they are occupied.

Together, they recognise the full property ecosystem from creating buildings to managing, maintaining and operating them in use.
