ABC Keystone invites your company to showcase your work in the Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards program. This program recognizes and publicizes the outstanding work performed on projects built by ABC Keystone members.

Entering your projects in the EIC Awards program is a great way to market your company’s high quality work and gain public recognition for the project owner and for your team who put it all together. Join the ranks of hundreds of free enterprise companies recognized as the “Best of the Best” in the construction industry.

An award of this caliber is a status symbol that promotes your company as a contractor of the highest quality and standards. Winners at the Chapter level are eligible to move on and enter their projects in the National Excellence in Construction Awards.
