Each year, the Chapter conducts a prestigious competition to honor members who have achieved excellence in Construction, Green Building or Safety categories. Projects completed during the year are submitted for consideration. A panel of independent industry experts evaluates each submission. Projects must meet a minimum score to receive an award.
The Excellence In Construction award is one of the highest honors any contractor can receive, and it is the only award that recognizes the unique partnership between owner, designer and contractor. The project with the greatest score receives the "Eagle Award." This award is the top honor of Excellence at the Excellence In Construction Awards Banquet. Chapter award winners are eligible to submit their projects to the ABC National Excellence In Construction Awards Competition.
