Judging process
About the judging panel

Организация премии Russian Demolition Awards — это серьезная задача, и для нас нет ничего важнее, чем обеспечение того, чтобы все заявки на участие в конкурсе оценивались справедливо и по достоинству. Наши судьи, присуждающие награды, являются экспертами в области сноса и демонтажа. Ежегодно в состав судейской коллегии входят около 6 человек, которые находятся в разных точках мира. Они следуют строгому Кодексу поведения.

Judging process

Применяемый нами процесс оценки отличается независимостью и конфиденциальностью. Мы формируем блок заявок по всем номинациям, готовим материалы на английском языке и направляем их судьям для оценки. В установленный организатором RDA срок, судьи должны направить организатору RDA свои оценки по всем заявкам в номинациях. Судьи оценивают

Who knows the names of the winners?

После того, как каждый из судей завершил оценку номинаций, они отправляют свои оценки и любые конкретные комментарии организатору программы RDA. Ни в коем случае , ни во время процесса судейства, ни даже после вручения наград на церемонии вручения наград Russian Demolition Awards, судьи не видят, как другой судья оценил проект в любой категории. Это гарантирует сохранение целостности и независимости экспертных оценок и мнений судей, а также самой премии Russian Demolition Awards. Организатор программы RDA собирает оценки судей за каждый проект и суммирует их. Таким образом, проект с наивысшим баллом объявляется победителем. Благодаря этому процессу даже наши судьи не узнают, кто выиграл ту или иную награду, пока их имена не будут объявлены на церемонии вручения премии Russian Demolition Awards. Победители известны только организатору программы RDA. Эта информация держится в строгой конфиденциальности, а соответствующие члены команды по организации мероприятия (около трех-четырех человек) узнают имена победителей только за несколько недель до церемонии, чтобы они могли заказать награды и подготовить необходимую графику для церемонии награждения. Вот почему наши отраслевые награды являются самыми желанными и уважаемыми в России.

Judges' code of conduct Judging criteria

Ни одному  судье не разрешается передавать свой лист оценок другим судьям или любым другим лицам в любое время, за исключением организатора программы RDA Артема Кондратьева. Судьям НЕ разрешается обсуждать друг с другом, лично или по электронной почте, заявки на награды до отправки своих оценок организатору программы RDA. Судьи ДОЛЖНЫ профессионально и беспристрастно оценить каждую заявку на награду. Судьи ДОЛЖНЫ оценивать каждую заявку на награду на основе ее собственных достоинств. Они НЕ должны сравнивать заявку с любыми другими конкурирующими заявками в той же категории.

Evaluation criteria

Судьи оценивают каждый проект по его собственным достоинствам, принимая во внимание общий профессионализм и техническую компетентность, то, как были преодолены конкретные трудности каждого проекта, финансовое и календарное управление, безопасность, инновации, управление командой и удовлетворенность клиентов. Не сравнивая один проект с другим в своей категории, судьи затем присваивают каждому проекту оценку из 100 возможных баллов. Эта оценка основана на профессиональном суждении, основываясь на своих экспертных знаниях и многолетнем опыте.
