The NSW Chapter of the Australian Institute of Building recently announced the 2009 AIB Professional Excellence in Building Awards in Sydney.

The presentation of the awards was made at a gala awards dinner at Royal Randwick Racecourse, which was attended by the building and construction industry's leading figures.

The awards recognise the contribution and leadership shown by individuals to the successful completion of a construction project. The judging criteria considers the contribution of individuals, the complexity of the project in its construction phase and the challenges that they face.

Recipients of Professional Excellence Awards include Justin Davies for the Rouse Hill Town Centre, Andrew Stevenson for One Shelley Street and Chris Mulvey for the Epping to Chatswood Rail Line Stations Project.

They will now proceed to the national awards which will be held in Brisbane in September.
