The New Hampshire/Vermont Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors invites members to participate in our annual Excellence In Construction Awards competition. This project awards competition gives us the opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of member contractors. We recognize the "best of the best" in our industry and use the occasion to promote an understanding of the quality and quantity of work being produced by construction professionals. Everyone benefits from the efforts of contractors and utilizes their services. This program highlights the contributions contractors make to our society.

Excellence and Merit Awards are presented in over 20 categories. All ABC contractors, suppliers and associates involved in the winning projects receive recognition during the awards ceremony. All award winners are recognized at a gala awards ceremony held every other October. The awards ceremony features a multi-media presentation, press releases are distributed to media contacts and all winners are highlighted in the NH/VT Chapter magazine, the Construction RESOURCE and in a special insert in Business NH Magazine.

Contact ABC if you would like assistance with your participation in the 2006/2007 Excellence Awards Program. A copy of the EIC entry form for the 2006/2007 program will be available in March 2006.
