The Excellence in Construction (EIC) program recognizes innovation, quality and vision of a winning project’s construction team – contractors, architects/engineers, owners and others – who play a vital role in the completion of construction projects. Projects are judged on a variety of project areas such as safety, personnel management, quality control, scheduling and degree of difficulty in completing a project. The program provides general contractors and subcontractors recognition for outstanding projects. ABC National requires that projects win an award at the chapter level to qualify in National’s EIC program. On the years that the Nevada Chapter does not hold the program, you may send your entries to National without winning at the chapter level. On years the Nevada Chapter holds the program, you will have to win at the chapter level prior to competing at National.
