Contractor of the Year is a category for Contractors to demonstrate the quality of their work across all sectors. To demonstrate precision, attention to details, innovation, creativity and flair. Please note the Gates & Barriers Award has a separate entry form.

For projects completed by 30 June 2024

What you need

Demonstrate your high quality, complex design and installation with photographs, locations, client references and background design considerations.

Your entry

Submit a minimum of five images across the different sections of your project. Give as much detail as you can on the location details, the original brief and scope of work and any background design considerations.

Client references

We need to know the end user was given the installation that they wanted and the design met the brief. Make sure you supply client references – they can include the final outcome as well as the installation process.

On site visit

An AFI representative may visit your site allowing you to talk them through the challenges and see the skill involved in your work.

Environment

Demonstrate how your project has a longstanding beneficial effect for the environment and local community.
