  1. To what degree were the expressed needs of the client met?
  2. To what degree does the project enhance the existing structures functionally?
  3. To what degree does the project enhance the existing structure aesthetically?
  4. Is there evidence of superior craftsmanship?
  5. Were innovative uses of materials and/or methods of construction used in the project?
  6. Did the contractor overcome difficult obstacles? 


We are proud and honored to be recognized for the hard work of our team.
