Star Awards

The Star Award represents a symbol of excellence, and someone or something designated a star thought to be pre-eminent. The award program is to recognize and promote professionalism and excellence in “star quality” projects.

The Star Award honors chosen projects that are the most outstanding new construction projects in the State of North Carolina, that is selected on the merits and challenges of the project by an objective group of judges. The Star Award represents a symbol of excellence and is the highest achievement in the Design and Construction industry.

Only two “Star Awards” are given annually. One for projects of total construction costs under $20 million and one for projects greater than $20 million of total construction costs.

Award nominations are open to CPN members only and are evaluated on the following criteria:

• Project’s outcome
• Owner’s satisfaction
• Overall project management
• Safety
• Quality management
• Cost management
• Schedule management
• Project complexity
• Cooperative team effort
• Innovation and creativity

The “Star Award” presentation is held each year at our Annual State Conference where winners are announced during the Black Tie Gala.
