Even during the toughest of economic times, the members of ABC Massachusetts
constantly strive for excellence in all they do. For our companies, excellence is not
just an end goal; pursuing it every day is a way of life, as is exemplified by this year’s
Excellence in Construction Award (EICA) winners.
We are proud to have 13 award winning projects that demonstrate the diversity,
versatility, and craftsmanship of the merit shop contractors that make up our association.
From public safety facilities, to veterinary isolation wards, to wind turbines atop Mount
Wachusett, this year’s award winning projects represent a wide spectrum of construction
excellence.
In an effort to recognize emerging talent in the area of sustainable construction, ABC will
also be presenting three “ABC Green Awards” for the second year in a row to project
teams who delivered expert craftsmanship that was also environmentally friendly and
energy efficient.
Despite the fact that the construction marketplace is not as strong as we would like it, it is
incumbent on our industry to take a moment to stop and recognize the great work being
done by the men and women of the merit shop community. This year’s award winning
projects will have posters displayed in the Design Gallery during the Build Boston
exhibit at the Seaport World Trade Center. We urge you to take a moment and stop by to
learn more about these projects as part of your Build Boston experience.
Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc. will hold our official EICA Reception on
November 18th at the Seaport World Trade Center. This year’s reception will be
sponsored by CTA Construction Co., Inc., the General Contractor on three of this
year’s award winners. You can register for our reception by visiting our homepage at

Kyle Reagan is the ABC Chairman, and Greg Beeman is ABC President.
