The 2020 AGC of Washington Build Washington Awards featured a first-of-its-kind, week-long virtual-presentation format instead of the annual live gala celebration. The awards were sponsored by Moss Adams.
AGC presented awards across 32 overall categories over five days last week, bringing in KIRO Radio’s John Curley to host the daily online award presentations and recognize the chapter’s top individual and company performances in construction and safety excellence, innovation, community service and more.
“Congratulations to the 2020 Build Washington Award recipients — amazing work by all,” said AGC 2020 President Curt Gimmestad of Absher Construction Co. “I‘ve said it before: I am truly blessed to be part of this industry where, every day, our members strive for excellence and to deliver on quality, schedule and cost while being innovative and integrating the latest technology. While doing all that, we are always a part of the communities in which we live, work and play, supporting those in need and inspiring people from across the spectrum to look to our construction family for rewarding career opportunities.”
