Association Awards

Awards are offered annually in three main categories: (1) Projects, (2) Safety, (3) Professional Achievement. While nominations and participation in these award programs are a benefit of membership, companies can seek membership in order to participate in these opportunities for recognition and elevate their stature in the marketplace.

Project Awards

Projects of the Year is a program that delivers recognition of the combination of innovation, craftsmanship and creativity of the concrete contractor as well as the vision and creativity of the design professional. Projects submitted annually to this program represent the leading work across the breadth of cast-in-place concrete solutions produced by association members. They demonstrate the technical challenges overcome by the professional craftsmen found throughout North America and continue to set a new standard for quality and technological achievement for the cast-in-place industry.

Member Recognition

The Association’s awards program establishes credibility for the often overlooked results of the creativity, ingenuity and craftsmanship of cast-in-place concrete construction. The program also serves to promote and recognize the members of the Concrete Foundations Association for these achievements as well as commitment to service and leadership.

While nominations and participation in these award programs are a benefit of membership, thus requiring membership to hold recognition, companies can seek membership in order to participate in these opportunities for recognition and elevate their stature in the marketplace.

We encourage you to contact CFA staff to learn more about the ways your company can be recognized and begin participating. Please encourage the organizations you see completing qualifying works, setting standards and leading the industry to join the CFA to begin taking advantage of the exposure and credibility gained through these programs.
