For the past 10 years, Fabral has held the Project of the Year contest to recognize excellent projects in the postframe, light commercial and residential markets. Finalists from each category were displayed at Fabral’s booth at the 2009 National Frame Building Association Frame Building Expo and were voted on by show attendees. The categories and winners for the 2009 Project of the Year include: General Use: Cleary Building Corp., Verona, Wis.—a building featuring Grandrib3 Plus in the Enduracote colors Dark Brown and Brite Red.
