CONTRACTINGBUSINESS.COM is accepting entries for its annual Design/Build Awards in Commercial HVAC.
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: July 22, 2011.
In addition to several categories honoring the finest examples of Design/Build work being done across the country, we will also accept for consideration outstanding examples of work done under the Design/Bid and Design/Assist delivery methods. The key element in any project category will be the HVACR contractor’s ability to take a leading role in providing the ultimate HVACR system for the benefit of the customer.
There will be subcategories to ensure that projects compete against others of the same cost. Any project or projects you wish to enter must be implemented on commercial buildings (including industrial, high-rise residential, or institutional).
In your entry, please provide the following:
1. Your contact information (title, company name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address).
2. The customer’s company name and location. Include a contact name, title, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Please make sure you have the permission of your customer before entering.
3. The total installed cost of the job. The mechanical costs are based on the total price to the customer for all parts and labor for HVAC, refrigeration, or plumbing work related to comfort or process control. 4. A list of names and project responsibilities of key individuals in your company (and the customer’s company, if applicable) who were directly responsible for the successful design and implementation of the job.
5. A list of the products (manufacturer, type of equipment, and model number) that were used on the project.
6. A summary of the project. Please explain how your company won the project, and how your company was able to deliver a quality project on time and on budget under the delivery method used (Design/Build, Design/ Assist, or Design/Bid).
