• New Construction Over $55 Million
• Renovation & Adaptive Reuse Under $10 Million
• Renovation & Adaptive Reuse Over $10 Million
• Infrastructure Construction

• CBC/COAA Owners’ Choice Award

Enter your 2018 Project Here. Deadline is to enter 2018 Merit Awards is Jan. 2, 2018

What sets the Merit Awards Program above most similar competitions is its meticulous judging process.  Entries from all nine categories are judged individually in multiple judging sessions by a dedicated panel of 40 CBC member volunteers on the basis of the following criteria:

• Distinctive, functional, or innovative design
• Quality of Construction
• Impact of the project upon the community
• Safety Record
