WELCOME From AGC San Diego Chapter President Austin Cameron Every two years, the Associated General Contractors of America, San Diego Chapter, Inc. honors the hard work and dedication of our industry with the Build San Diego Awards. The project entries showcase the diversity in construction from entertainment, education, recreation, military, energy, tourism, bridge and road work, and institutional work. These projects, public or private, are an integral part of the region’s economy, and they represent the hard work of architects, engineers, and construction firms. Communities will benefit from these projects for years to come as they provide infrastructure to our growing region, as well as services to the residents and visitors. Projects this year include transformations to iconic locations along with new structures to our city landscape. Each company should take great pride in what they have built for our city. AGC San Diego, for the third time, is recognizing a top Public Agency who contractors have highlighted as an owner of choice for their commitment to partnering with the construction industry to deliver world class infrastructure. The San Diego construction industry is one of the largest employers in the county.
