Quality in construction doesn’t happen by accident. It’s driven by people who care, project managers who hold the line, subcontractors who own their work, and leaders who build a culture where getting it right the first time is the standard, not the exception. The Construction Quality Management Awards are a joint initiative by Construction Quality Australia (CQA) and Visibuild. They exist to shine a light on those people, and to make the case, loudly, that quality is worth celebrating.   [Voting now open](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeziMjkFFDEHok_1jK53kv6melpBMlpcrvkU7fDpbf-TIy1UA/viewform?usp=preview) ![CQMA - Hero Image croped](https://www.cqmawards.visibuild.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CQMA%20-%20Hero%20Image%20croped.jpg?width=1745&height=2000&name=CQMA%20-%20Hero%20Image%20croped.jpg "CQMA - Hero Image croped") Presented by ![Vb White Logo - No Padding](https://www.cqmawards.visibuild.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Vb%20White%20Logo%20-%20No%20Padding.png?width=285&height=62&name=Vb%20White%20Logo%20-%20No%20Padding.png) ![CQA White](https://www.cqmawards.visibuild.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CQA%20White.png?width=1916&height=534&name=CQA%20White.png) ### Applications are closed. # Visibuild Awards Quality Excellence categories for projects, subcontractors and individuals using Visibuild. **Project** Awarded to a head contractor for a standout project with deep Visibuild adoption, clean data, and proactive quality collaboration. **Subcontractor Excellence** Recognises a subcontractor business delivering consistent quality outcomes and proactive collaboration with partners. **Quality Champion, Head Contractor** Celebrates a head contractor employee who champions Visibuild internally and drives creative adoption across teams. **Quality Champion, Subcontractor** Celebrates a subcontractor employee who champions Visibuild internally and finds new ways to solve real project challenges.
