Our Industry. Celebrated.
On 14 August 2026, our awards brought people from across building and construction together to recognise the work happening throughout our industry. From Next Gen starting to make their mark, to those delivering major projects on site and behind the scenes, the evening reflected the breadth of people, roles and contributions that shape our sector.
