2009 Excellence Awards

The annual Building & Construction Excellence Awards are designed to recognise the best projects undertaken by the NT Building and Construction industry each year.

Proudly sponsored by the Northern Territory Government, under the banner of Housing the Territory this year, the Awards are a great opportunity for the industry to be recognised for its achievements.

Past winners have used such an endorsement to promote and highlight the qualities and services of their business, recognised and respected by the industry and the public.

Sponsors
MBANT would like to recognise and thank all Sponsors in this year's Excellence in Building and Construction Awards. Without their support and generosity, major events such as these could not happen, let alone continue to grow each year and we are sincerely grateful to each of them.

To all Sponsors, please see attached invite to attend the Sponsors 'Thank You' cocktail evening on the 21st October

Winners
This year's outstanding performers in the building and construction industry won accolades at the gala presentation evening at the Darwin Convention Centre on the 21st of August attended by 690 people, and will be submitted in the National Awards to be held on the Gold Coast on the 7th November.
