The National Excellence in Building & Construction Awards 

Recognises the best building projects from communities around the country and the builders that constructed them across the residential, commercial/industrial or civil/infrastructure construction sectors. 

Whether it's a display home, project home or an apartment block. A hospital or an office block. An outback bridge or an inner city transport hub.

At the 2018 Awards we asked Lisa and Nick Lonsdale from the Lonsdale Building Group what they thought if the 2019 National Excellence Awards were held at Uluru. See what they said. Join us in Uluru in November 2019. Book Now.

How it works

Nominations for the housing and commercial/industrial categories are submitted through State and Territory Master Builders associations which have their own awards processes. The State and Territory Award winners in their nominated categories (some categories are combined) become finalists for the National Awards and are judged accordingly.

The National Export Awards are sponsored by the Australian Made Campaign and recognise the outstanding export performance of members and others in the Australian building and construction industry in the export market.
