The 2018 Construction Excellence Awards are quickly approaching! We’re inspired by the excellence that our members demonstrate, and are excited to see what they submit this year! Submissions are due on September 30, 2018.

This week, we’re featuring the last year’s specialty project winners. These are projects that are awarded to projects that are frequently completed by Specialty Contractors, not only General Contractors (although General Contractors may enter and have won, as was the case in 2017!). Pictured above are the projects from Superior Scaffold Services, Best Specialty Contractor (pictured right); B. Pietrini, Best Concrete Construction Project (pictured left); and C. Erickson and Sons, Inc. (center, top) and Turner Construction Company (center, bottom), tied for Best Fit-Out Project!
