Message from the Chairmen The Awards of excellence is an annual competition sponsored by the Builders Association of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Association members are invited to submit their best work from the past year and subject it to evaluation by a team of judges who are industry professionals (builders, designers, craftsmen) from outside our region and from as far away as Pittsburgh and Youngstown, Ohio. Each entry is scrutinized and evaluated in a number of areas of craftsmanship, curb appeal, design and the overall value of the project. Entries in the remodeling categories were judged on the quality of construction/design, the degree of difficulty in the project and its sensitivity to the existing structure. A team of three judges scored each project and all entries had to score a minimum number of points to receive an award. Consequently, there could not necessarily be an award presented in all categories. In some cases there were multiple awards in some categories. In some cases there were multiple awards in some categories, based on different price ranges. An award winner with a perfect score of 200 points received "Best of Show" honors. If an entry did not win an award in this competition, it was not a question of quality. It simply meant that, as compared to other projects entered, it did not meet the established guidelines for an award in this competition. We were impressed with the excellence of the more than 47 entries in this year's competition and we congratulate all the winners on their accomplishments. We hope you enjoy the following photos and descriptions of these winning entries. The members of the Builders Association of Northwestern Pennsylvania subscribe to the highest standard of quality and customer service. If you have a building or remodeling need, please remember, "When you want the best, hire a member!" Sincerely, |
