On May 6, the Construction Excellence Award plaque of the Kovács Katalin National Kayak-Canoe Academy was ceremonially unveiled in Sukoró. The event not only celebrated the success of an outstanding project, but also the high level of professional expertise that has formed the foundation of WEST HUNGÁRIA BAU Ltd.’s nearly three decades of operation.
New professional milestone: unveiling of the Construction Excellence Award plaque in Sukoró
At the event, distinguished professionals and public figures shared their thoughts on the quality of the built environment and the responsibility of creative work.
Speeches were delivered by Ferenc Salamin, Kossuth and Ybl Prize-winning architect and President of the Architecture Section of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, Barnabás Csépe, Regional Director of WHB, and Katalin Kovács, three-time Olympic champion and 31-time world champion kayaker, President of the Academy.
The profession recognizing itself
The Construction Excellence Award is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the industry, distinguished by the fact that it is “awarded by the profession to the profession.” The prize is granted by the Board of Trustees of the Master Prize Foundation for Construction, and each year it is awarded to projects that set an example for the entire sector in terms of their complexity, quality, and professional excellence.
In the case of the Kovács Katalin National Kayak-Canoe Academy, a multifunctional sports facility with distinctive organic architectural features was created, where the high-level harmony between design and construction made it worthy of receiving the Construction Excellence Award.
Quality backed by expertise
For WHB, the Construction Excellence Award is not merely recognition, but a form of confirmation — proof that the company consistently represents the same core values in all of its projects: high quality, precision, innovation, and a responsible mindset.
The knowledge and dedication of the professionals involved in the construction process play a key role in ensuring that the company delivers every project to the highest standards, using modern solutions and a forward-looking approach.
In the case of the Sukoró academy, this approach is particularly evident: the building not only serves the needs of sports and talent development in a functional sense, but also sets an example through its architectural character and its harmonious integration into the surrounding environment.
The imprint of nearly 30 years of professional experience
Over nearly three decades of market presence, WEST HUNGÁRIA BAU Ltd. has contributed to the realization of numerous landmark developments in Hungary. The foundation of the company’s success lies in its strong professional knowledge base and stable value system, which enable it to act as a reliable partner even on the most complex projects.
The award-winning project in Sukoró is also the result of this long-established professional credibility — an investment that embodies quality construction, architectural value creation, and responsibility toward future generations.
The unveiling of the award plaque goes beyond a ceremonial event: it sends a clear message to both the profession and the market that quality, expertise, and dedication are capable of creating lasting value.
For WHB, this recognition represents another important milestone, reinforcing the company’s commitment to outstanding professional performance and exemplary construction projects at an industry level.
