For Immediate Release Contact Houston, Texas Catherine Bezman [email protected] September 22, 2018 (713) 843-3700 HOUSTON’S TOP COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS RECEIVE PRESTIGIOUS APEX AWARDS Houston, September 22, 2018 - Houston’s commercial construction industry celebrated the most outstanding projects built by AGC Houston members at the Awards for Project Excellence on Saturday, September 22, 2018. More than 500 guests attended the biennial event at The Houstonian, which featured KHOU TV’s Meteorologist Brooks Garner as master of ceremonies. Eighteen general and specialty contractors took home 37 Gold, Silver and Bronze APEX awards for outstanding building projects. APEX recognizes and honors firms for their excellence in design and construction, their valuable contributions to the community, and advancement to the commercial building industry. AGC members submitted 100 entries in categories that include healthcare and research, education, industrial, liturgical, hospitality, interiors, renovation, entertainment, sitework and greenspace. Each entry had to have been completed between April 1, 2016 and April 30, 2018, within the 24 counties that comprise AGC Houston’s territory. More than 60 qualified judges representing the architectural, engineering and construction industry toured the projects in July and met with project teams. Each winning entry’s selection was based on contribution to the community and/or environment; quality of the management process in serving the client; safety records; difficulty in construction; site tour; and completion within budget. The event also honored Peter Dawson, AIA, NCARB, with the 2018 AGC Houston Master Builder Award. Dawson recently retired as Sr. Vice President of Facilities Services at Texas Children’s Hospital where, for 16 years, he held the executive leadership responsibility for Facility Planning, Design, Project Management, Facilities Operations, and Security Services. -
