The Construction Innovation Forum is a non-profit, international organization founded in 1987 to encourage and recognize innovations that have improved the quality or reduce the cost of construction.

The NOVA Award is CIF's most distinguished honor. Recipients are carefully chosen based upon strict selection criteria and a rigorous investigation process by a jury of international experts. To be selected for a NOVA Award, an innovation must be a proven success with a positive, important effect on construction or service.
It must improve quality, reduce cost, and promote good, acceptable construction practices. The innovation must be a significant advance, not just a natural evolution of existing methods, common sense or good practices. Finally, the innovation must be document-able and presentable.
The 2003 winners will be announced in February 2003 and will join an elite list of only 50 innovations worldwide to be honored by CIF with the NOVA Award. For more information, contact CIF at (248) 409-1500.
