HIA Professional Builder Awards are the ideal way for HIA members to show customers and potential clients that they have sound business and financial management practices, and strong customer communication and processes.

While HIA’s housing awards recognise excellence in the building product or service provided by residential builders, the Professional Builder Awards recognise excellence in the management of businesses. The criteria for this award relates to areas that are common to all leading businesses no matter which industry they operate in.

Judging

Judging is based on the information provided in your written submission, which must address each of the entry criteria.

Judges are looking for factual information about your business backed up by evidence. Give the judges details on what you do and how you do it.

Each statement you make should be backed up with evidence. For example if you mention you have conducted a survey, please provide a copy of the survey as part of your application. Better still, provide the results of the survey too and what action you will be taking as a result.

Don’t forget – Provide as much evidence as possible to show that your business is meeting each of the criteria. Also as part of your entry, you will need to upload 1-2 images of your team.

Awards categories

Winners in each HIA region are announced at Housing Awards events during the year. These winners progress as finalists to the Professional Builder Award categories of the Australian Housing Awards in the following year.
