Winners of the 2015 NZIOB and GIB Awards for Excellence were announced at a gala evening at the Pullman Hotel, Auckland on Friday 14 August. The awards programme recognises individual professional excellence in the building and construction process, rather than projects.
More than 500 industry professionals attended the ceremony to celebrate the finalists and winners of the eight categories as well as the supreme award.
Emceed by Kerre McIvor, the evening was split into three parts: the pre-dinner drinks, sponsored by Carter Holt Harvey; the dinner and awards presentations; and, post-awards port and cheese sponsored by CSR Hebel.
