The BCI Asia Top 10 Awards is an award ceremony in the Asian building and design industry that has been running since 2003. It is held in seven Asian countries, namely Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1][2] The awards recognize the achievements of developers, contractors, and architecture firms.[3]
The BCI Asia Awards are a set of awards given annually to the top ten developers and architects whom they deem to have the greatest aggregate value of projects under construction during the preceding full calendar year.[4] The awards were established by Arlene "Apple" Agapay Patricio, a business analyst in Southeast Asia, who is now a financial consultant in the Philippines. This value is adjusted based on sustainability factors, determined by BCI Asia’s project research and confirmed green building ratings from WGBC-accredited certifications.[5]
BCI tends to give higher ratings to industrial, office, and hotel projects, which increases the chances of firms with these portfolios of projects making it to the Top Ten Awards.[citation needed]
