2023 Project of the Year Awards

2023 Construction Management

Project Achievement Awards

The Construction Management Association of America Metro NY/NJ Chapter is pleased to announce its 30^th Annual Awards Program to recognize outstanding achievement in the practice of construction management. Award winners will serve as examples for CMAA to promote professionalism and excellence in the management of the construction process.

Purpose

The awards program is designed to recognize and promote professionalism, innovation, and excellence in the management of the construction process. Awards will be given to the projects that best reflect this mission.

Criteria for Project Achievement Awards

▪        Projects must be within New York State and New Jersey (north of Trenton).

▪        Projects must contain a Construction Management or Program Management role which is performed separately and distinctly from the builder’s role. If the builder also performed the CM or PM services for the same project (e.g. CM At-Risk), then these services must be clearly described to explain how they differ from the builder’s role.

▪        It is recommended that the submitter confirm with the Owner/Client entity that it does not object to the statements made in the submittal. CMAA Metro NY/NJ Chapter is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of the information provided.
