ABC names Excellence in Construction winners

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) announced 92 projects—collectively worth nearly $2.9 billion—have been named winners as part of its Excellence in Construction (EIC) awards. The winners will be presented during ABC Convention 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee, on Aug. 18. The EIC awards program is a competition that honors both general and specialty contractors for innovative and high-quality merit shop construction projects.

“The craftmanship of ABC members and their hardworking employees continues to raise the bar when it comes to how we define excellence in construction,” says 2020 ABC National Chair Tim Keating. Keating is also the owner and president of R.C. Stevens Construction Co., Winter Garden, Florida. “It’s an honor to recognize these 92 award winners for their respective commitments to building safely, on time and on budget, as well as contribute to the communities in which they work.” 

The EIC awards honor all construction team members, including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer. The winning projects, selected from entries across the nation, were judged on complexity, attractiveness, unique challenges overcome, completion time, workmanship, innovation, safety and cost.

A panel of industry experts served as the competition’s judges. This year's panel included representatives from Building Owners and Managers Association International, Smithsonian Facilities Construction Division, Construction Management Association of America, Engineering News-Record, Design-Build Institute of America and various construction-related firms nationwide.

A list of EIC winners is available on ABC’s website.
