ENR Southwest is pleased to announce the winners of its 2014 Best Projects competition, which is open to projects in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.
A panel of 10 judges represented the varied demographic imprints in the industry — from a recently promoted project manager to senior architects. These judges selected winners in each of the available categories. The judges also selected a number of merit winners.
Accompanying these awards will be a safety award and one project will win top honors as the Best Overall. Those winners will be announced soon, so stay tuned.
The winning projects will be covered in more detail in the November issue of ENR Southwest, and the winners will be honored at an event in Phoenix on Nov. 14. For information on attending, visit http://construction.com/events/2014/best-projects/phoenix.asp. All winners get a free seat.
If you have questions, please e-mail me at john.guzzon@mhfi.com.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
