2012 Jeffrey J. Zogg Build NY Awards
In 1990 the General Building Contractors started its Build New York Awards program in an
effort to portray the positive impact of the construction industry in New York State, and
to enhance the reputation of its general contractor and construction manager members.
The awards emphasize the construction team, not only the general contractor or construction
manager but also the many others – the owner, architect, engineer, subcontractors, suppliers
and craftspeople – who contribute to the success of a project.
Since 1990, the Build New York Award winners have symbolized the best of construction
projects in the state. Winning projects have been large and small, new and renovations,
public and private. Hospitals, schools, hotels, parking garages, bridges, sports arenas,
office buildings, and many other types of structures have been winners. While some projects
are beautiful, others are ordinary to the eye. But they all have one thing in common – they
presented challenges that were met successfully by the winning company and its team. In
late 2010, the AGC NYS Board of Directors unanimously renamed the awards the Jeffrey J.
Zogg Build New York Awards after the late AGC NYS CEO.
We are proud in 2012 to honor three more firms for projects completed in the preceding two
years. Those selected by our 11-member jury represent excellence in project management,
responsiveness to client needs, innovation in construction techniques, the conquering of
unique circumstances, exceptional service to the industry and the workers engaged on the
work, excellence in safety, and important contributions to the community.
Each winner will be presented a triangular piece of Lake Placid blue granite, indigenous
to New York, set on a sleek black pedestal, in recognition of the company’s efforts. Each
construction team member will also be appropriately honored. The award is meant to
symbolize a substantial and quality contribution by the contractor and its team to the client
that will stand the test of time, just as a piece of New York granite, will.
