VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) has announced the 2020 and 2021 Awards of Excellence Silver winners. The year’s awards combines the last two years due to the COVID-related cancellation of the 2020 event.
A total of 237 entries including 89 projects exceeded $3.5 billion in construction value. For 2020, 43 Silver Award winners were selected in 15 project categories with 92 entries from 36 projects with a total value of over $713 million. For 2021, 50 Silver Award winners were selected in 16 project categories, including 145 entries from 53 projects with a total value of over $2.8 billion.
“Judging the Awards of Excellence this year was an extraordinary experience. The pandemic brought endless challenges, affecting people and their livelihood, creating an unstable economy and causing the cost of materials to soar. Despite these challenges, our industry prevailed and delivered many remarkable projects,” VRCA Awards of Excellence committee chair Bob Proctor said in a statement.
“On behalf of the Association, it is my honour to recognize those in our industry who are going above and beyond for our community. These individuals and companies are passionate leaders committed to making a difference,” VRCA president Donna Grant added.
The project award categories recognize general, trade, mechanical and electrical contractors along with manufacturers and suppliers who delivered all or part of a project over the past three years. Criteria for judgment includes financial benchmarks, use of innovative techniques, challenges and resolutions, safety records and exceptional project management.
While the majority of the projects nominated are in the Lower Mainland, entries were also received for projects from Clinton, Fort St. John, Oliver, Kitimat, Midway, Nanaimo, Penticton, Sydney, Victoria and Yellowknife.
The VRCA will also present the Environment and Sustainability Award, Heritage Award, Innovation Award, and Judges Award, along with Outstanding Achievement and a Life Membership.
All Silver Award winners will be recognized at the Awards of Excellence Gala on Oct. 19, which will be held in-person at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. Gold Award winners in their respective category will be selected from Silver Award winners and will be announced at the gala.
Tickets for the gala are available on the VRCA website.
