Construction Projects Represent Top Innovation and Quality Construction by Missouri’s Contractors
Ground-breaking, resourceful and safety-minded are just a few ways to describe the contractors executing the construction projects selected as finalists for the 2022 Construction Keystone Awards. Finalists include commercial projects; health care, retail, recreational and senior living facilities; renovation projects; industrial and manufacturing facilities; and a broad range of infrastructure projects, including rail, roads and bridges, water, sewer and power plants.
The Construction Keystone Awards are presented by the Associated General Contractors of Missouri (AGCMO). A panel of five judges selected these outstanding projects as finalists last month, and later this summer will continue their review of additional data provided by the finalists in order to determine the winning project in each category.
The submissions span eight categories focused on the work of AGCMO’s general contractors and specialty contractor members. The majority of the projects are competing in the Mid-America Class which covers projects built in Missouri plus eight contiguous states. Three large projects are competing in the National Class, covering the lower 48 states outside of the Mid-America Class territory. All entries were made by AGCMO members across the state.
Winners of the 25th Anniversary Keystone Awards will be announced and celebrated at the AGC’s Construction Awards Gala scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 3 at the River City Casino & Hotel in St. Louis.
“The past two years have been extremely challenging for our industry due to COVID-19 as well as ongoing workforce issues and supply chain challenges,” said Leonard Toenjes, CAE, AGCMO President. “Despite these issues, our contractors have worked closely with owners to adjust schedules and execute projects successfully. In particular, I’d like to congratulate the many safety personnel, estimating, design and project management teams that have pulled together to deliver quality projects on time and within budget, despite these hurdles. I couldn’t be prouder of our industry as we celebrate 25 years of the Keystone Awards.”
The Associated General Contractors of Missouri (AGCMO) represents the united voice of the construction industry throughout the state of Missouri. AGC of Missouri represents nearly 550 commercial, industrial, highway, transportation, and utility infrastructure contractors, industry partners and related firms in 110 counties across the state of Missouri.
