The Queensland University of Technology Distinguished Constructor Award recognises significant contributions by individuals to the Queensland construction industry and community and to honour those who have given a lifetime of work to the industry. The achievements of Queensland's most admired construction industry leaders are further acknowledged by their induction into the QUT Construction Hall of Fame.

History

[edit]

The award was established in 1998, the initiative of Professor Weilin Chang, the then Dean of the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering, who saw it as a way to "give something back to industry".

Criteria

[edit]

Recipients are selected by a panel of their peers, which includes senior academics from QUT and leaders from Queensland's construction industry and Government. There is no external nomination process – the panel brings forward people for consideration based on their extensive knowledge of the construction scene.

The Award

[edit]

The award itself was designed by the then QUT industrial design lecturer Steve Curran while the original Hall of Fame display was designed by QUT student, Anna Nelson, after winning a design competition. The Award is presented annually at a venue on the Gardens Point campus of the QUT. A Construction Hall of Fame has been created at QUT's Gardens Point campus as a permanent site for the recognition of the endeavours of leaders of the construction industry in Queensland.
