BUILD - 2005 Trade/Professional Magazine of the Year
BUILD magazine was judged 2005 Magazine of the Year in the Trade/Professional Category at the annual Magazine Publishers Association awards and was nominated as a Supreme Award finalist.
Published bi-monthly by BRANZ Ltd, BUILD is the industry magazine for up-to-date advice and information on a wide range of building-related issues.
