The Resource for Real Estate & Construction Decision Makers

from the editor

At Construction Communications, we have dedicated ourselves to serving construction decisionmakers for more than a decade. Through the Real Estate & Construction Review series of publications we have profiled the most unique, challenging and successful new construction and renovation projects throughout the United States. Through the words of owners, developers, architects, contractors, consultants and more, these projects were brought to life in case studies designed to help owners learn from one another’s successes. This publication, the Building of America Success Stories, was created to focus on new technologies, processes and more than can further aid owners in successful construction projects in the future. Consultants, associations, contractors and designers have contributed articles that highlight topics such as integrated project delivery, public private partnerships, and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®). Other topics that are addressed include creative site solutions and innovative use of commonplace materials to achieve stunning design effects for less. Additionally, the publication profiles subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and manufacturers that have played a role in some of New England’s top projects. All the companies involved have been referred for their reliability and were qualified by the general contractor or architect that hired them for a Building of America awarded project. Each of the companies and/or products featured has a unique story to tell about how they can help owners in the New England area. Sincerely, Jamie Rawcliffe Senior Editor
