Tag: New Construction

On Thursday, September 17, the Associated Builders and Contractors Western Michigan Chapter (ABC WMC) hosted its annual Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards, a celebration of the best in commercial construction and the people who connect, protect, grow, and defend our industry. Each year, professionals from across West Michigan come together to recognize the craftsmanship and dedication of local tradespeople, and this year's event was one for the books. Literally. Forty Years, One Yearbook This year marked 40 years of the EIC Awards, and ABC WMC leaned all the way into it with a yearbook theme. The event program doubled as a yearbook, and attendees made their way around the room collecting signatures just like the last day of high school. The night took guests on a trip through the decades, from the '80s to today, with music, décor, and drinks inspired by each era. Pac-Man, MTV, Tamagotchis, Rubik's Cubes, and Saved by the Bell graphics all made an appearance, alongside the movies, music, and fashion trends that defined each generation. It was a fun, nostalgic way to honor four decades of building West Michigan. EV's Winning Projects EV Construction was nominated in multiple categories and is proud to have taken home five awards. Our work on the Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health earned four of them, a reflection of the care, collaboration, and craftsmanship our teams brought to a facility that will serve children and families for years to come. New Construction – $50 to $75 Million Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health Project Managers: Brett Lesiewicz, Judd VanBergen, and CJ Thompson Superintendents: Ryan Geurink, Joe Shashaguay Jr., and Parker Slagh New Construction – $5 to $10 Million City of Grand Rapids – Kendall Street Fire Station Project Managers: Curt Hielke and Abby Leatherman Superintendent: Doug Eddy General Trades – More than $1 Million Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health Project Manager: Brian White Superintendents: Joe Shashaguay Jr. and Garret Veenstra Interior Finishing – More than $2 Million Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health Project Managers: Matt Harburn, Layna O'Connor, and Hannah Thurlow Superintendents: Ryan Fuller, Ryan Bouman, and Corey Richards Painting Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health Project Managers: Matt Harburn, Layna O'Connor, and Hannah Thurlow Superintendents: George Martinez, Jenifer Holly, and Rhea Estrada We were also honored to see our renovation of the Wolverine Worldwide Annex recognized as a nominee in the Renovation/Addition/Tenant Build-Out – $3 to $6 Million category. Celebrating Alaina Ekdom, Young Professional of the Year Finalist The recognition didn't stop at our projects. Alaina Ekdom, EV's Director of Brand and Experience, was named a finalist for Young Professional of the Year. Alaina has built her career around helping people see construction differently. From leading EV's rebrand to creating experiences like our Future Builders event that introduce the next generation to the industry, she brings creativity and purpose to everything she does, opening doors for future leaders and showing just how many opportunities construction has to offer. Built Around People Awards like these are a testament to the people behind every project: our project managers, superintendents, field teams, and trade partners, along with the clients who trust us to bring their vision to life. Thank you to Pine Rest, the City of Grand Rapids, and Wolverine Worldwide for the opportunity to build alongside you, and congratulations to all of this year's winners and nominees.
