Established in 2014, the AABC Conservation Awards recognise projects which demonstrate the highest standards of historic building conservation.
Regional finalists are schemes which have demonstrated a significant standard of historic building conservation in their region, contributing to the quality and appearance of the built environment and providing a positive civic contribution.
These will now be considered by the 2026 AABC Awards National Judging Panel, which serves as a moderating body and decides which projects have met the year's benchmark standard to win an Award or be Highly Commended. They refer to peer projects from this and earlier years, carefully debating each submission before reaching their final decisions.
