Star Awards Program

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

The Star Award honors the chosen project as the most outstanding new construction project in the State of North Carolina, and 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.
