The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Awards showcase the achievements and industry advancements of women, men and organisations in the construction industry. The Awards for Excellence, hosted by NAWIC’s NSW Chapter, celebrate the contributions made by women at all career levels and in all sectors of the construction industry.
The John Holland Award for Innovation recognises a group of women within a team demonstrating their substantial contribution to the implementation of innovative work practices in New South Wales, to areas such as construction, design, policies, learning and development.
Anna Charalambous and Nicole Larkin were recipients of the NAWIC Innovation Award in 2020 for their contribution to Daramu House Foyer. Drawing on their respective fields of expertise, Anna and Nicole demonstrated innovation, sustainability, collaboration and leadership in pushing the limits of timber construction for the Daramu House project. The results of Anna and Nicole’s collaboration are an outstanding example of what is really achievable with vision and leadership.
