Since 2001, ACI - Kuwait Chapter has recognized and presented two annual awards, one to an outstanding project and the other to a deserving individual. The Award of Excellence, which is for a project, and the Award of Achievement are presented during the Chapter’s highly anticipated grand Awards Banquet.

The well attended awards ceremony was held in the main auditorium of the College of Engineering and Petroleum, located in Kuwait University's new campus in Shadadiya. The function was held under the patronage of His Excellency, the Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Ministry of State for Housing Affairs, Mr. Abdulatif Hamad Al-Meshari.

The Award of Excellence is bestowed on a local project of outstanding merit. The award itself, comprising a trophy, plaque and certificate, is given to the owners or developers of the project. Certificates of Excellence and plaques are also presented to the general or main contractor; the design and supervision consultants; and the main concrete supplier.
