“The Institute congratulates all this year’s winners and finalists, their employers, families and supporters, and our family of sponsors. These Awards showcase and celebrate the commitment of those working right across the built environment and contribute to the Institute’s goal of raising quality across the industry,” NZIOB chief executive Pamela Bell said.
“We are really impressed with the entrants who have embraced new technologies and we recognise the positive impact this technology has had on construction programmes. That reflects a global uptake in technology adoption across construction, driven by the considerable investment into companies focused on improving how we design and deliver the built environment.”
The GIB Supreme Award was won by Darren Cutfield from Built Environs NZ for the Auckland City Mission HomeGround Development on Hobson Street, Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland. HomeGround is the Auckland City Mission’s newly constructed Built Environs NZ$110 million multi-purpose headquarters.
The 11-storey complex includes 80 apartments, a healthcare centre, detox facilities, educational and training facilities, meals and other support networks, including community spaces for the public.
The complex uses an innovative Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) solution for most of the structure. The building is the tallest CLT building in New Zealand and has championed the adoption of mass timber across New Zealand.
The Judges said Mr Cutfield managed the project’s design and construction from many perspectives, from the philanthropic investor to the multiplicity of users, to the City Missions’ current homeless clients. He listened to and directed the project to meet the needs of all involved.
The BCITO Young Achievers Award was awarded to Emma Mannion from Beca. She was recently appointed as manager – digital engineering advisory (DEA). Her appointment to this newly established role reflects her contribution to the growth of digital underpinning construction projects.
The judges said Ms Mannion is leading a change in the industry. She is a role model and an emerging leader within the construction industry. She is a member of the New Zealand Institute of Building, Property Council NZ and Women in Property NZ. Significant achievements include the RICS Project Management Team of the Year award, the completion of Growing Greatness: Women in Technology in 2021 and becoming an Information Management Professional: BIM.
