Built by Women Awards Honor Top Talent in Construction and Design

The Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation’s Built by Women (BxW) Awards, held on Friday March 18, recognized 37 outstanding projects designed or constructed by a woman in a significant leadership position.

There’s no denying the talent of this year’s BxW honorees—the work of our industry colleagues is remarkable. As the general contractor for five award-winning projects, we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with so many exceptional women on unique, challenging, and rewarding projects.

We’re also especially proud of two of our own team members for their contributions to these award-winning projects; Leslie Casey, Project Manager, for her work on both Google and Project Lancer, and Kim Roy, Senior Vice President, for her work on CSIS.

Congratulations to all of the BxW honorees on their well-deserved wins!
