2026 Excellence in Construction Awards

The AGC East Tennessee Excellence in Construction Awards recognize outstanding commercial construction projects that reflect the highest standards of quality, safety, innovation, and performance.

These awards honor the work behind the work: the planning, leadership, craftsmanship, and teamwork required to deliver successful projects under real-world conditions. From jobsite safety and project execution to technology, scheduling, budget management, and community impact, submissions should demonstrate overall excellence in construction.

Award recipients will be recognized at the 2026 AGC Annual Celebration and Awards Ceremony on Friday, March 6, at The Westin Chattanooga. Winners will be promoted to regional media outlets and AGC communication platforms to garner recognition among industry peers and project partners.

If your team delivered a project you’re proud of, we encourage you to apply and share your work.
