27TH ANNUAL RECONSTRUCTION AWARDS

If your firm does reconstruction work, this is the awards program for you! Due to the tight schedule this year, we’re simplifying the entry process.

We need: 1) a write-up about the project: what the owner/client wanted); the key technical and nontechnical issues and your Building Team overcame these problems; and what results were achieved; 2) a slide show (up to 25 slides) illustrating the key points in your write-up; 3) a list of the major firms (in addition to your own) on the Building Team. Put it all on a CD (no print copy), please.

For an entry form and “tip sheet” on how to win, email: jschneider@sgcmail.com. 

Entries due Wed., Aug. 25, 2010. Entry fee: $150 (credit card or check).
