The 2019 Building Industry Design & Construction Awards Competition

For more than 30 years, the Building Industry Association of Hawaii has held an annual building and design competition. The Renaissance Competition has created a spotlight for hundreds of commercial and residential projects throughout the State of Hawaii. We are excited to announce that the 2019 Building Industry Design and Construction Awards are now open and ready for your entries.  Together, with the National Kitchen & Bath Association Aloha Chapter (NKBA), BIA-Hawaii is once again prepared to reward the finest construction and design projects that our industry has to offer.
