The Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) awards are an annual recognition of excellence for local companies commitments to quality and professionalism. The VRCA awards are a nomination based system, with each nominee being reviewed by a panel of judges. The nomination is based on a project that has been substantially completed within the previous two calendar years. These judges look at criteria including:
- Presentation
- Financial Performance
- Schedule
- Value Engineering, Innovations & Bidding Process
- Challenges
- Sustainable Construction
- Safety Record
- Site Co-operation
- Material Management
- Quality
- Patent Rights
Once nominations have been received and reviewed, 3 nominations will be selected for Silver Awards from each of the 15 categories. These categories include:
- General Contractors – Tenant Improvement
- General Contractors – Up to $15 Million
- General Contractors – $15 Million to $50 Million
- General Contractors – Over $50 Million
- Trade Contractors – Up to $1 Million
- Trade Contractors – $1 Million to $2 Million
- Trade Contractors – $2 Million to $4 Million
- Trade Contractors – Over $4 Million
- Mechanical Contractors – Up to $3 Million
- Mechanical Contractors – $3 Million to $9 Million
- Mechanical Contractors – Over $9 Million
- Electrical Contractors – Up to $2 Million
- Electrical Contractors – $2 Million to $8 Million
- Electrical Contractors – Over $8 Million
- Manufacturers and Suppliers
On the night of the Gala, one of these Silver Award winners from each category will be selected as the Gold Award Winner.
Winning a VRCA Gold Award is not only a huge accomplishment, but also an important one, as any company selected for a Gold Award has shown excellence in each of the criteria points, and has beaten out the direct competition. This award highlights companies and contractors of choice, and is a great addition to the resume of the winning company. When hiring a company or contractor, look for VRCA recognition. Seagate Structures is a 2018 Gold Award Winner, and a great partner for your next project.
