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.
