Eligibility Nominated buildings must be within the territorial limits of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with no limitation in size and cost. Nominated buildings should be practically completed. That is, eligible buildings should possess either Occupation Permits (OP or Phased OP), Acknowledgement letters on BA14 or Certificates of Completion (in the case of Government/HA projects) within the specified period as stated in the submission requirements. Subject to final approval of the Organizing Committee, possession of OP may be exempted for projects nominated for Sustainable Building Category. A partially completed building would not be accepted unless phasing of the project is obvious enough to render the completed portion as a distinct building. Project teams can choose to submit their nominations for either non-residential category or residential category subject to final approval by QBA2006 Organizing Committee. Project teams can submit their nominations for both sustainable building category and non-residential / residential category. A building can be nominated provided it has never received any merit/award from Quality Building Award in previous years. Each Project Team can submit more than one nomination for different buildings. Separate nomination fee will be charged. Notes 1) QBA2006 Organizing Committee reserves the ultimate right to make final and binding decisions on the eligibility of all applications. 2) QBA2006 Organizing Committee reserves the right not to bestow an award if the Jury Panel considers no nomination is worth receiving an award. 3) Project Teams are required to conduct a final presentation to QBA2006 Jury Panel once they are short listed by the Organizing Committee. 4) The decision of the Jury Panel shall be final.
