Excellence in Construction Awards
The IMA Excellence in Construction Awards are given in recognition of exceptional projects completed by contractors and are presented at the annual AGC of Alaska Conference. Companies submit a thorough write-up of their project for consideration, and it is judged against the others in its category by independent industry professionals. Each submission is reviewed on the following criteria: meeting the challenge of a difficult job, excellence in project management, contractor's innovation in construction techniques or materials, contractor's state of the art advancement, contractor's sensitivity to the environment & surroundings, excellence in client service, and the contractor's contribution to the community.
