The Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) unveiled the Silver Award winners for the 2024 Awards of Excellence.
This year’s competition was remarkable, with 91 outstanding submissions representing 61 projects and a total construction value exceeding $2.9 billion.
In its 35th year, the Awards of Excellence continue to spotlight the exceptional work of the VRCA’s member companies. This year, 50 Silver Award winners were chosen across 17 diverse project categories, highlighting the best of industrial, commercial, institutional, multi-family residential, and special projects.
The VRCA will celebrate these outstanding accomplishments at two premier events this fall. First, at the Silver Award winners at the Silver Winner Reception in September. Then, on October 24th, the spotlight will shine at the Awards of Excellence Gala, where one Silver Award winner from each category will be crowned as the Gold Award Winner.
“We are incredibly proud of the exceptional work that VRCA members continue to deliver year after year,” said VRCA President Jeannine Martin. “This year’s submissions set a new benchmark for excellence in the construction industry, and we are thrilled to recognize and celebrate these achievements as we mark the 35th anniversary of the Awards of Excellence.”
