The construction industry may still be stuck in low gear as a result of lingering economic trouble, but the Southeast's contractors and designers are obviously not wasting any time showcasing their expanding set of tools and capabilities as they team up on impressive projects throughout the region.
At least that's the conclusion drawn from the projects recognized here by ENR Southeast's 12th annual Best Projects competition. Indeed, the numerous projects featured in the following pages showcase true industry accomplishments. From a one-of-a-kind retractable-roof ballpark that features an innovative approach to withstanding hurricane-force winds, to a Florida theme park designed and built in just 15 months, to everything in between, it's clear there's plenty of good work being done by Southeast firms.
