PRESS RELEASE
Northern Nevada’s construction community showcased its best work of the past year at the annual PINNACLE Awards, sponsored by the Nevada Chapter. The PINNACLE Awards program was established in 1999 by the Nevada Chapter AGC to honor the “Best of the Best” in Northern Nevada construction projects; recognizing construction leadership, excellence and community spirit.
Independent judges, this year from the Utah AGC Chapter, measure entries based on safety, craftsmanship, challenges met, client relations, innovation and “green” building practices. Projects must be completed during the 2015 calendar year.
General Engineering Construction and Building Construction projects vie separately for the PINNACLE Award in two divisions: under and over $5 million. Specialty Contractors vie for the PINNACLE in the over $500,000 and under $500,000 category. Projects within these divisions compete in these categories:
- Meeting the Challenge of a Difficult Job
- Sensitivity to Environment/History/Culture
- Contractor’s Innovation
There
were 14 entries from nine different companies. Winners were announced at an Awards Luncheon Friday, April 8 at Peppermill Spa Casino. The luncheon also featured a “People’s Choice” Award.
