Outstanding Performance in Washington Area Construction Announced
For the 27th year, the Metro Washington and Virginia Chapters of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) recognized the very best construction teams in the region by presenting the Metropolitan Washington Excellence in Construction Awards.
The awards were presented according to varying classifications in the following categories: commercial, educational, electrical, excavation/site work, heavy/industrial/transportation, historic restoration, industrial, institutional, interiors, landscaping, masonry, mechanical, medical renovation, mega project, mixed use, painting, residential, restaurant interior build out, retail, specialty concrete, specialty general construction and specialty iron works.
More than 100 judges were needed to evaluate the 173 projects that were entered by more than 50 companies. Professionals from a cross-section of the building industry, including architects, owners, government officials, and other industry leaders, were asked to serve as judges. Judging teams selected the winners by reviewing the entry forms and visiting each project site.
