The annual NZIA Local Architecture Awards honour the best new architecture in each of the NZIA’s eight regions.
Despite the disruptions of COVID-19 so far during 2020, the awards have been held by virtual presentation ceremonies over the last three months. The Equus team would like to congratulate all Architects and those involved in the shortlisted and winning projects on this great achievement.
Our technical team work hard over the year collaborating with Architects and Designers across the country on projects of all shapes and sizes, and it is always an exciting time to follow the Local Architecture Awards and see projects with our waterproofing systems taking the top spots!
We are proud to have been involved in a number of winning projects across the country. We have listed the projects below with the waterproofing systems used and the Equus Certified Applicators responsible for the work.
