he 2012 APL Awards include an additional two categories with the projects under £100,000 split down into five bands –

Gregory said, “The reputation of these awards is growing year on year due to the ever increasing quality of workmanship. The 2011 Awards attracted some fantastic entries despite being a challenging year for many in the trade and we hope to build on this with the 2012 Awards.”
