Quality Building Award 2026 Finalists Announced
- Written by Media Outreach
Held biennially, the Quality Building Award is jointly organized by ten leading professional institutes and organizations representing Hong Kong's architecture and construction sectors. It aims to recognize exceptional projects that demonstrate outstanding teamwork in the design and construction of quality buildings. This year's theme, "Smartly We Build | Sustainably We Thrive | Inclusively We Lead," encourages the industry to adopt smart, sustainable, and inclusive solutions, steering the sector towards innovation and green development.
Comprehensive Coverage Across Eight Categories Showcasing Hong Kong's Diverse Excellence
This year's Award features eight major categories, comprehensively covering different types of building projects. These span residential and non-residential, government and non-government, renovation and revitalization, and temporary building categories. The response from local Hong Kong projects has been enthusiastic, with the finalists fully demonstrating the industry's diverse creativity and professional expertise, reflecting the vibrant and flourishing state of local architecture.

Another highlight of this edition is the inclusion of the "Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)" and "Building Outside GBA (include International)" categories. These are open to all eligible projects from within and outside the region, with teams not required to provide proof of a Hong Kong registered company to participate. This initiative has successfully attracted numerous high-quality non-local projects, including outstanding entries from as far as Egypt.
