In order to distinguish the best project among all the Grand Award Winners, QBA 2014 presented the Quality Excellence Award.The Winner of the Quality Excellence Award this year is The New Campuses of Hong Kong Design Institute & Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Lee Wai Lee).

QBA 2014 Jury Panel Chairman, Mr Frank CHAN, JP, said, "The competition was incredibly fierce this year. Narrowing down the winners for every category was truly a daunting task. The amount of meticulous planning, execution, and teamwork it takes to create a quality building is truly monumental and greatly humbling. I am proud to have had a chance to serve in promoting quality excellence and upholding the highest standards of professionalism in the building industry."

Jointly organized by nine professional organizations in Hong Kong, this year QBA 2014 has differentiated the "Buildings Outside Hong Kong" Category into two separate categories, one specifically for buildings in Mainland China, Taiwan and Macau, and one for all other regions outside. The expanded coverage attracts even more internationally prominent buildings to enter the competition, which in turn widens the outlook and raises the overall standards of the building industry.

We hope to invite more international buildings to participate in this competition, which will further raise the benchmark for the building industry. It has been my honour and pleasure to take part in organizing this year's QBA 2014."
