Carolinas AGC Unveils 2024 Pinnacle Awards and Construction Excellence Awards

by GroundBreak Carolinas Staff on January 27, 2025

Carolinas AGC (CAGC) has bestowed the 2024 Pinnacle Awards to four construction projects which enhance their communities, and a “Build with the Best” Pinnacle Award to an individual whose partnership efforts strengthen the construction industry. Pinnacle entries are judged on unique aspects and challenges; special values; project management; budget and schedule; and safety performance.

In addition, nine projects won Construction Excellence Awards, which recognize projects of distinction. These award-winning projects located in North Carolina and South Carolina and the Build with the Best individual award advance the construction industry and better the Carolinas.

The CAGC Pinnacle Awards competition is co-sponsored by CPA firm GreerWalker LLP and the law firm of Johnston, Allison & Hord, both based in Charlotte. The Pinnacle Award ceremony was held at CAGC’s 104th Annual Convention in Charleston, SC in January. For more information on each award and for photos, please visit www.cagc.org.

“BUILD WITH THE BEST” PINNACLE AWARD
Senator Ross Turner, South Carolina District 8 in Greenville County

Senator Turner, a staunch supporter of the Construction industry, was the lead sponsor of legislation that requires construction work zone training for all new drivers in the state. Upon Governor McMaster’s signature, South Carolina became the third state in the country to enact such legislation.
