The judges were very impressed by the high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail and innovation in the projects this year. The winning projects all show our industry at its best—and everyone involved should be truly proud.”

I would like to thank all of our sponsors who supported the Awards despite us not being able to hold a live event. Particularly our Headline sponsor, Radmat Building Products, our Awards Knowledge Partner, SIG Roofing, and our Awards Industry Partner, QANW”
