💡Future industry leaders are learning from today's experts. At #ArchEngBuild2026, students aren't just designing housing concepts - they're testing their ideas with people solving these challenges every day. Over the past two days, industry mentors have worked alongside teams, sharing their expertise and helping students navigate the trade-offs involved in creating housing that is affordable, high-quality, sustainable and resilient. These conversations are what make this event unique. Students gain direct insight from industry professionals, while mentors help shape the next generation of architects, engineers, landscape architects, construction managers and building scientists. A huge thank you to our mentors: David McGuigan - Concrete NZ Sam Polson - Director at EDC consultants Don Royds - Lincoln University Tane Tawera - Naylor Love Chris Lyons- ARA construction management lecturer 🏆 Winners will be announced in Christchurch tomorrow evening.
