The wait is over!

Entries are open now for the 2026 New Zealand Commercial Project Awards, the premier event celebrating the outstanding commercial construction teams shaping where Kiwis live, work, and play.

Get national recognition for your entire project team - not just the lead contractor.

The New Zealand Commercial Project Awards are open to all commercial project partners - including contractors, architects, engineers, QSs, building owners - and you don't have to be a Master Builders member to enter.

Showcase your success to clients, industry peers, and media.

This is your moment to put your project - and your whole team - in the national spotlight.

Categories for projects of all sizes - it’s about excellence, not budget.

From towering landmarks, to revitalised heritage treasures, to the infrastructure that keeps Aotearoa moving, these awards recognise the collaboration, innovation, and craftsmanship behind every great build.

To mark its launch, entries into the Infrastructure Project category are FREE for 2026.
