The Associated Builders and Contractors of Western Washington honored nine outstanding projects with 2008 Excellence in Construction Awards. The awards were presented March 26 at a banquet in SeaTac.
The big winner was Rafn Co., which not only took home three category awards but also won the top honor, the Eagle of Excellence Award, for its work on the Trace Lofts project in Seattle.
“This year’s entries reflect the diverse commercial projects that ABC members build, running the gamut from medical centers and schools to mixed-use and industrial projects,” said Karen Say, 2007-08 ABC chair and owner of Saybr Contractors. “All of the projects entered are indicative of the high standards made possible when contractors and subcontractors are selected on the basis of merit — qualifications, performance and price.”
This year’s judges included James A. McNett of Mithun, Kevin Otteson of CollinsWoerman, Carl Molesworth of Pacific Builder & Engineer, John E. Schaufelberger of the University of Washington Department of Construction Management, and Benjamin Minnick of the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce.
