Over the years, QBA has become one of the most recognized industry awards thanks to widespread industry participation and engagement. This year''s theme, ''Driven by Profession, United for Success'', aims to reinforce QBA''s vision: to unite professionals from all backgrounds and disciplines in the pursuit of true building excellence."
Regarding the changes from previous years, Sr LAI added: "As the industry continues to evolve, so does the need for more perspectives to be represented. As such, the QBA 2018 Organizing Committee has decided to further expand the number of jurors from 9 to 14.
