UPDATE ON THE BUILDING TEAM AWARDS AND RECONSTRUCTION AWARDS
In late 2022, the BD+C editorial team made the very difficult decision to cease both the Building Team Awards and Reconstruction Awards. Several factors played into our decision, including fewer print issues in which to feature the winners, rising costs to support the programs, and fewer submissions from AEC firms. This being said, BD+C is investing heavily in editorial coverage of new building projects and reconstruction work, both in print and online at BDCnetwork. Please send us your best projects for coverage consideration. Ideal submissions include a detailed press release/project summary; building team information (owner/developer, architect, structural engineer, MEP engineer, and general contractor); and a nice selection of high-res. photos/renderings with captions and photo credits. Send submissions to: David Barista, BD+C Editorial Director, at dbarista@sgcmail.com.
