The awards have recognised the outstanding projects and maintenance initiatives of New Zealand’s civil construction industry since 1978.

CCNZ chief executive Alan Pollard says the awards recognise the people, projects, and companies who made a positive difference in the lives of New Zealanders every day by constructing and maintaining infrastructure to supply clean water and connect communities.

"Companies that have delivered outstanding civil construction and infrastructure initiatives of all sizes are encouraged to enter these prestigious awards," says Alan.

"I have seen amazing projects and maintenance works the length of the country, from disaster recovery to major highways and tunnels, to water treatment plants and pipeline networks, ports, and airports. As an industry, we can rightly be proud of the breadth and quality of the projects that have been undertaken."

This year’s awards follow on from the 2022 awards, which featured entries for projects across six categories, chosen from 46 finalists. Winners ranged from the spectacular Specularite Gully (Hugo) Bridge constructed by Abseil Access, an amazing suspension cycle bridge delivered for just $200,000, to a tunnelling project that involved lifting the 14,000-tonne historic Auckland Central Post Office as part of City Rail Link and won the category for projects with a value above $100 million.

The 2023 awards will be presented at the Hirepool Construction Excellence Awards Dinner, which will be held on Friday, 1 September at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland as part of the national Civil Contractors Conference.

Entries for the 2023 CCNZ Hirepool Construction Excellence Awards can be made online at civilcontractors.co.nz until 23 June 2023.
