Four 2018 ABC Excellence in Construction Awards for Sweetwater – This Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) event, held annually at The Borgata in Atlantic City, brings together general contractors and subcontractors to celebrate Merit Shop construction in New Jersey.
ABC believes in free enterprise, open competition, and fair play for construction employers and employees. They support members with the pursuit of legislation to back those beliefs, while providing resources and education for a sound construction industry.
An ABC member for 28 years, Sweetwater has again received the highest level honor for safety, and awards for all four projects submitted. Projects are graded on success and innovation in planning, execution, collaboration, safety, impact and team references.
The Cambridge Club of Aberdeen received a Merit Award for Commercial Facility under $5mm. This rescue and recovery project, with Fabiano Designs, finally brought a long-awaited social and fitness facility to the community.
The Eagle Award is the top honor for each category, and was received for the Institute for Advanced Study Faculty Townhomes, L’Oreal USA R&D, and Saint Clare’s Imaging Suites. Click on the links to view more details on these significant jobs for NJ Merit Shop construction.
IAS Faculty Townhomes are high-end units designed by Studio Hillier and constructed for faculty adjacent to the Institute in Princeton. The L’Oreal USA R&D renovation included office and labs with diverse finishes and elaborate architectural elements by Ware Malcomb. Multiple locations for the Saint Clare’s Health System speak to our specialty healthcare construction expertise and the client’s satisfaction with Sweetwater. These imaging suites were designed by Posen Architects.
Our proud winning project teams enjoyed the dinner, presentation and an evening at The Borgata! Thank you and congratulations to our clients, architects, engineers and subcontractors, as well.
