Intermountain Best of 2010
Criteria for Projects: The annual Best of Awards is a competition to determine the best regional projects completed by firms in Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Firms involved in some aspect of a project submit the entries, which are free.
Judging was done by a panel of industry experts, based on design quality and innovation, craftsmanship, the project's contribution to the community and the industry, solution of unique design and construction challenges and overall excellence. The size of the project was not a factor in the judging.
