By Andrew Batt:
The shortlist for this year’s Thailand Property Awards has been announced.
Ensign Media, the organisers of the event which is now in its seventh year, revealed that the judging panel has made its final decisions based on the judging criteria and inspections by specialist teams in each of the locations covered by the awards.
For the non-development awards, which include Best Developer, Best Residential Agent, Best Property Consultancy, the panel of expert judges reviewed entries and submitted their scores according to the published criteria to BDO Advisory – the company responsible for ensuring transparency in the judging process. The panel then met to discuss and select a final short-list in the presence of a representative at BDO.
For development awards, a local team visited each of the short-listed developments and conducted face-to-face meetings and site inspections. Local judges then met to discuss the merits of each development, with a representative of BDO present. After all short-listed entrants was visited, the local judges submit their decisions to BDO.
The winners will be announced and receive their much coveted awards trophies at the annual Gala Dinner on Saturday 13 October at Napalai Hall, Dust Thani Hotel, Bangkok.
DDProperty.com is proud to be a media partner for the 2012 Thailand Property Awards.
