Building Congress & Exchange Honors Baltimore’s Award-Winning Craftsmen
The Building Congress & Exchange honored more than 50 talented craftsmen within 11 categories at the 83rd Annual Craftsmanship Awards held October 14 at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House. The winners represented 19 companies in the Baltimore Metropolitan area.
The Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant and Sheppard Pratt Health System Behavioral Health each won an Overall Building Award honoring general contractors Clark/Ulliman Schutte and Lewis Contractors respectively.
In addition, the BC&E Foundation awarded $1,000 scholarships to four promising high school students who are pursuing careers, training or degrees in the construction and design fields. This year’s winners are from different high schools but all are honing their skills at the Carroll County Career and Technology Center.
The Craftsmanship Awards have been a long-standing tradition honoring and recognizing exemplary craftsmanship within the construction industry.
This year, BC&E received 40 nominations, which were each carefully reviewed by our 11-person Craftsmanship Committee. The winners were determined based on quality of work, the complexity of both technical and design challenges and the level of difficulty from certain conditions.
A complete list of winners is down below.
