2004 award winners | overall winner and recreational and leisure winner - thonga beach lodge It seems apt that as the first recorded structure to be built in KwaZulu-Natal was the beehive hut, the winning entry, Thonga Beach Lodge, happened to be based on this very same design. Somewhat more sophisticated and infinitely more luxurious, the basic shape has remained the same. The Thonga Beach Lodge is nestled amongst the coastal vegetation on a remote pristine dune site within walking distance of Lake Sibaya in northern KwaZulu-Natal. |
 | commercial winner - Liberty Midlands Mall This bustling regional shopping centre in Pietermaritzburg, with 45 000 square metres of roof and 37 000 square metres of lettable area, was built within the scheduled 12 months, accommodating extensive tenants' requirements late in the programme duration, it was an achievement of exceptionally fast paced construction within a very strict budget. |
 | residential winner - 11 Loudon Road Durban The site for this contemporary Durban home is on a narrow one-way street. Not only was access a major problem for the contractor, but so was the limited storage space, which had to be overcome by careful scheduling of on-site deliveries. Finishes required by the professional team were intricate and required a dedicated contractor to meet the client's exacting requirements.

 | industrial and civils winner - Toyota AO Pressline This state-of-the-art steel press for the manufacture of pressed body parts is located in the industrial area of Prospecton, South of Durban. The contract was also a regional winner in the KZN MBA's, Health and Environmental awards in 2004. |
 | Alterations, additions and renovations winner - St. Anne's Hospital Major additions and renovations were required to give this hospital, constructed in the traditional red brick of most of Pietermaritztburgs older buildings, a facelift by creating a new facade as well as to accommodate specialized services, increase parking and install new reception and services areas. |
 | work of a specialised nature winner - uShaka Marine World The contract for the themed painting of the shipwrecked 1920's steamship, forming the focal point of uShaka Marine World, was awarded to Smith & Winfield, which having been established in Durban since 1886, is somewhat older than the imaginary wreck. The uShaka Marine World site was a regional winner of the KZN MBA Safety, Health and Environmental award in 2004. |
