The event showcases all projects selected as finalists and highlights the innovation and project skills of each organisation among 500 attendees, as well as the broader industry through associated communication and marketing activities. This year’s black tie event will be held in Melbourne on Thursday 26 August at the Grand Hyatt. It will be a hybrid event with participants also able to join online. This year promises to be bigger and better with both the 2020 and 2021 winners to be announced.

The Australian Construction Achievement Award was first presented in 1997, as an annual award to recognise and reward innovation and the highest standard of work in the Australian construction industry. The award celebrates the skills, productivity and prosperity that the industry brings to Australia.

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. Finalists are chosen from initial entries, followed by a detailed judging process by an independent judging panel involving site inspections to select the winner.
