WASHINGTON, D.C. — Associated Builders and Contractors announced that Brasfield & Gorrie’s work on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers North Troop Medical Clinic project in Fort Stewart, Ga., has earned the company an Eagle award in the Federal Government/Military – Less than $10-Million category of ABC’s National Excellence in Construction Awards. Brasfield & Gorrie representatives received the award Feb. 20 during the 23rd annual celebration at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

The Excellence in Construction Awards program is the industry’s leading competition, developed to honor innovative and high-quality merit shop construction projects. The award honors all construction team members, including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer. The winning projects, selected from entries submitted from across the nation, were judged on complexity, attractiveness, unique challenges overcome, completion time, workmanship, innovation, safety and cost.
