2020 Excellence in Construction Awards

Each year, the ABC Heart of America Chapter provides the opportunity for members to compete for honors in the construction industry’s premier annual awards program: the Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards. The EIC Awards recognize the outstanding Merit Shop construction projects completed during the previous year by member companies in Missouri and Kansas.
