The 41st AI Spec Awards will take place on 18th April. A total of 32 architectural ironmongery projects and products have been shortlisted across eight categories. Organised by The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) in conjunction with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), they are staged to identify and reward excellence in the specification of architectural ironmongery in the construction industry.


Said ADSA Managing Director Ken Price: “It’s a real honour to sponsor this award for the second time. Innovation is often sparked by a need to address a specific issue or improve effectiveness or efficiency. Use of new technologies within product development can enhance safety, security, accessibility, result in energy savings and support sustainability.  This award is a celebration of those efforts which lead to a significant step change.”

The first recipient of the award was Strand Technologies which won in 2022 with Virtual Engineer, a technology solution for the control and diagnostics of automatic doors, gates and barriers. www.adsa.org.uk
