These awards recognize the outstanding contributions of contractors and subcontractors to the  local construction industry, celebrating those who go beyond traditional practices. Exceptional  construction not only builds durable structures but also creates a lasting impact, inspires  communities, and enhances the quality of life. 

The SBCA Construction Awards reflect the values and goals of our region’s construction  professionals by addressing broader industry challenges through professional, unique, and  innovative approaches. We understand that our members undertake a diverse range of projects,  each with its own distinct identity and complexity. We value creativity, technical excellence, and  the ability to deliver solutions that advance the field of construction.
