California Construction News staff writer

The Associated General Contractors of California recognized several contractors at the annual Installation and Awards Gala in San Francisco earlier this month.

“Annually, AGC of California honors the pioneers in the construction industry – those visionaries whose innovative approaches not only shape our sector but also contribute to a dynamic and continually evolving California,” Steve Rule, 2024 AGC of California State Board president, said in a statement. “These winners reflect the wide-ranging influence of construction on our state’s landscape, economy, and community.”

The awards recognize individuals and organizations for outstanding contributions to the construction industry.

“The recipients of this year’s awards embody the variety of ways in which individuals and their projects add value to our communities,” said Peter Tateishi, chief executive officer of AGC of California. “Their work affects our daily commutes and creates spaces where we live, work, and play. These professionals have a profound impact on our everyday lives, and they are creating a more prosperous future in California.”
