American Buildings Company (ABC) recently named winners of its 2012 Excellence in Design Awards. For more than 10 years, ABC has recognized its network of Builders and Roofers for their innovation and distinction in design from projects completed the previous year.
The highly anticipated Excellence in Design Awards competition is open to all authorized ABC Builders and Architectural Metal Systems (AMS) Roofers. Winners are selected by a panel of impartial judges.
This year, judges chose from more than 115 entries to select the best projects in each of the following categories: Agricultural; Church/Religious Center; Commercial; Government/Institutional; Green Building; Manufacturing/Industrial; Office; Recreation; Retail; Retrofit Roofing; Roofing; Self Storage; Transportation and Warehouse/Distribution.
Winners and honorable mentions are announced for each category. The nominees then go on to compete for the Excellence in Design’s top two awards: Building of the Year and Roof of the Year.
“We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our network of Builders and Roofers,” said Ron Kuenkler, President of American Buildings Company. “We are honored to work with such a talented group and were impressed with the many deserving projects that were entered in this year’s Excellence in Design competition.”
