Magazine. Based on my experiences attending State and
National events during my term as National President, I know
that you will all find the list of entries and award winners
inspirational, underscoring the level of professionalism in building
and construction.
Repeated often, these Awards are unique in that they have a
key focus on how a structure was built and not what was built,
distinguishing individual excellence and the Institute’s conferral of
a “Professional Excellence Award” reserved only for those that
apply superior knowledge and skill in practice.
Reflecting on the results of the individual chapter events, it has
been highlighted once again the greatness of the building and
construction industry both domestically and internationaly with
extremely high standards achieved and illlustrated by all of the
entrants. So to all leaders and members of the project delivery
teams involved with the works, the Institute salutes you.
In advance, I congratulate all the Professional Excellence Awards

adelaide town hall - Queen
adelaide room
High Commendation
team members: Anthony Battaglia, Sam Verco & Monique Turner.
Reserved for Lord Mayoral receptions only, the Queen Adelaide Room is
located on the ground floor of the Adelaide Town Hall building.
Constructed between 1864 and1866 and after having a number of uses
over the past 150 years, the culturally significant room was no longer an
aesthetically appealing space that the City of Adelaide could be proud of.
The project worked to restore the room to its former historic glory by
undertaking a refurbishment of the space based on its original design that
was never fully executed due to funding.
Works including forming new openings and recesses in existing walls, new
curved plasterboard walls, cornice and pilasters, decorative timber doors
and door case, along with painting, gilding and hand printed wall paper
throughout, were all undertaken by artisan trade contractors.
Mechanical and electrical services to the room were upgraded and new
feature lighting, data and audio-visual systems were seamlessly integrated so
not to distract from the grandeur of the space.
All works were undertaken with no disruption to the Lord Mayor and Lady
Mayoress, Councillors, staff and the public visiting the building.
