Master Builders is currently taking expressions of interest from persons who have strong industry knowledge/experience in either the residential or commercial sectors of the industry. Previous judging experience is not necessary.

Master Builders Association of Victoria produces three highly regarded industry award programs – Excellence in Housing Awards, Excellence in Construction Awards and Regional Building Awards.

Successful applicants will be teamed with one other judge and the final number of days onsite will be determined by the number and location of entries received.

Master Builders will cover costs associated with travel and accommodation (if required) and a daily allowance will be given. Judges will also be invited to the respective awards presentation evening.

Successful applicants are required to declare any conflict of interest with companies that may enter the Awards, prior to the judging schedules being finalised.
