Australian Construction Achievement Award
The prestigious Australian Construction Achievement Award (ACAA) brings together the best construction projects, delivered by the nation’s leading construction companies.
About
The Australian Constructors Association and Engineers Australia have proudly partnered since 1997 in presenting the industry’s preeminent award – the Australian Construction Achievement Award (ACAA). Showcasing expertise in delivering complex and innovative solutions, the ACAA also recognises the social and economic benefits of infrastructure projects. Projects selected as finalists have been delivered efficiently and in a way that nurtures worker wellbeing, improves the skills of the workforce and promotes environmentally responsible outcomes. Collectively, we believe these features contribute to a more sustainable construction industry and are what makes these projects the best of the best.
Entry is open to all Australian construction companies (individually or as part of a joint venture or contractual alliance), with direct responsibility for the construction of the nominated project. The award process is arguably one of the most intensive. Finalists undertake a two-stage assessment process by a panel of independent expert judges. Finalists are chosen from initial entries, followed by a detailed judging process by an independent judging panel typically involving site inspections to select the winner.
