The ENR Southwest Best Projects competition recognizes many of the region’s most outstanding construction and design achievements in the past year. In the nearly two decades since the Best Projects program was initiated, the industry has changed, but one constant is the drive for efficiency.
Winning projects were directed by teams with a passion for collaboration. In addition, a significant number of project teams this year cited using lean principles to get projects built faster, better and cheaper. Two prime examples were the Lucky Dragon Casino and UHS Spring Valley Hospital in Nevada.
