Quality Building Award 2018 now open for nomination

The Quality Building Award 2018 (QBA 2018) is now officially open for nomination. QBA is a biennially-held award giving public recognition to buildings embodying excellence across a range of categories.

QBA 2018 features three main changes compared to the previous years with the goals of increasing industry representation, and encouraging further stakeholder engagement. They are:
·	A newly-introduced “Non-Residential Building – Government, Institution or Community” category.
·	An increase in the number of jurors (from 9 to 14).
·	A single combined “Building Outside Hong Kong” category (previously separated into two).

Sr Lai Yuk Fai, Stephen, Chairman of the QBA 2018 Organizing Committee, said: “I am deeply honored to be selected to lead the QBA 2018 award process. Over the years, QBA has become one of the most recognized industry awards thanks to widespread industry participation and engagement. This year’s theme, ‘Driven by Profession, United for Success’, aims to reinforce QBA’s vision: to unite professionals from all backgrounds and disciplines in the pursuit of true building excellence.”
Regarding the changes from previous years, Sr Lai added: “As the industry continues to evolve, so does the need for more perspectives to be represented. As such, the QBA 2018 Organizing Committee has decided to further expand the number of jurors from 9 to 14. Furthermore, the Non-Residential Building category has been separated into commercial and non-commercial. We believe these changes will continue QBA’s tradition of rewarding excellence, while also paving the way for greater industry involvement and representation in the years to come.”
