The Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors have announced the finalists of the AIQS Infinite Value Awards.
Exsto Management is a finalist in the Engineering Excellence Award category for its Port Arthur Penitentiary Precinct Conservation project, along with Ralph Beattie Bosworth for the Perth Rectangular Stadium Stage 1 project and Victorian North Projects for their work with the Airport Drive and Realignment of Steele Creek North project.
Now in its fourth year, the award program has a total of 11 categories ranging from project based awards for architectural and engineering excellence to individual awards for those making significant contributions to the Australian and global construction industry.
A new Regional Project Award is being introduced this year to highlight the achievements of those working outside of the major cities. Nominees for the regional project award include the Port Augusta Central Oval Community Sporting Complex, Toowoomba Regional Arts & Community Centre - Armitage Centre and the Wanarn Clinic in the Northern Territory.
AIQS President Mark Hampson said it’s important to pay tribute to some of the large scale infrastructure projects completed in Australia and abroad.
“This year we want to recognise the collective efforts of the global construction sector shaping how we connect and identify the important role that quantity surveyors perform in that process,” he said.
The Adelaide Oval redevelopment project is just one of the projects nominated for the Architectural Excellence Award. The project transformed the existing Adelaide Oval into a world-class multi-purpose sporting and entertainment facility and was delivered under budget.
The Array Apartments situated at Yarra’s Edge precinct in Melbourne has also been nominated alongside Adelaide Oval and Kiaora Place retail and commercial development in Double Bay, NSW.
