Layton Construction, Salt Lake City, and Hensel Phelps Construction Co., Greeley, Colo. are the 2016 Contractors of the Year in the Mountain States region.
By going beyond owner-mandated minimum standards and using digital tools to enhance safety measures and outcomes, the team building the $157-million Benjamin P. Grogan and Jerry L. Dove Federal Building in Miramar, Fla., made sure to sweat the project’s numerous, complicated details. Named for two FBI special agents killed during a 1986 shoot-out in Miami, the complex, four-building facility—located on a 20-acre site near the Everglades—totals 383,000 sq ft and includes executive, private and team offices, conference space, a fitness center, computer-training facilities and an armory.
