2007 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 NT Government's Despartment of Business, Economic and Regional Development 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
TCA 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.
