In this year’s Best Projects competition, the panel of industry judges rewarded projects that boosted efficiency through new technology and collaborative pre-planning and that provided essential spaces for the community. Many of the projects also received top marks for maintaining and promoting safety.
Judges evaluated 116 projects located in California and Hawaii. Criteria included collaboration and teamwork, ability to overcome challenges, safety performance and use of innovative design or construction solutions. The panel also considered the contribution to the construction industry and/or community, design quality and construction craftsmanship. Entries were not accepted for projects that had a construction-related death.
