Concord, NH – Associated Builders and Contractors of NH/VT (ABC NH/VT) held this year’s Excellence in Construction (EiC) Award reception at the Manchester DoubleTree Hotel on Nov. 3. The EiC awards program is the construction industry’s leading competition that honors contractors for world-class, safe, and innovative construction projects.

“For more than three decades, ABC NH/VT has honored award-winning construction projects like these because the team’s work exemplifies excellence in our industry,” said Josh Reap, president and CEO of ABC NH/VT. “The 2022 Excellence in Construction honorees set the standard in safety, quality and innovation.”

The EiC awards honor every member of the construction team, including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer. The winning projects are selected from entries across NH and VT and are judged on complexity, attractiveness, unique challenges overcome, completion time, workmanship, innovation, safety and cost. A panel of industry experts served as the competition’s judges.

ABC celebrated the EiC award recipients and announced PROCON as the 2022 recipient of the prestigious Chairman Award for their outstanding work on the Joyce Cummings Center at Tufts University.

The highly prized Chairman’s Award recognizes one project that stands out from the rest. The winning job embodies the industry’s idealized qualities of teamwork, quality, professionalism, and commitment to safety for the betterment of the community.

“The work done by PROCON is outstanding and encapsulates how ABC members work for the betterment of their community. The successful completion of this state-of-the-art facility was done on time, within budget and demonstrates how the success of a construction project is largely attributed to collaboration between the Owner, Engineer, and General Contractor,” stated 2022 ABC NH/VT Chairman Dan Smith.
