NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER
NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER
The theme of this issue of Construction Today, “The Next Level,” is a perfect way to describe what GBCA members do every day. They have an insatiable drive to build better, build safer, and build stronger – to build on the best and take it to the next level.
This is particularly true of our 25th Annual Construction Excellence Awards winners spotlighted in this issue. It’s our distinct privilege to honor the builders of outstanding projects and initiatives across 21 award categories. This year’s winners represent the highest quality of workmanship and building innovation advancing the commercial construction industry.
Beyond the awe-inspiring work, what stands out most about these projects is the collaboration among GBCA members. LF Driscoll worked with more than 50 GBCA member subcontractors in building the Penn Medicine Pavilion, our winner for Best Healthcare Project and Excellence in Craftsmanship: $50+ Million. That’s more than 15 percent of our members teaming up on just one project!
Each project listed in this issue shows GBCA members working together. This level of collaboration is indicative of an industry that’s united and invested in delivering the very best final product for clients and our great city – a hallmark of GBCA.
Congratulations again to all of our winners!
