Each September, the Idaho Business Review honors the top construction projects completed in Idaho. During a special awards event, they tell the stories and show the impact of top projects from around the state, with a focus on impact.

Projects chosen as finalists will appear in a special magazine featuring detailed information about the projects. Winners are chosen by an expert panel of local judges based on the following criteria:

A growing number of contractors have reported impacts on building projects and products from the coronavirus outbreak. An online survey AGC conducted March 17-19 drew 909 respondents, of whom 28% answered “yes” to the question: “Has any owner, government agency or official directed you to halt or delay work on any projects that are either active or expected to start within the next 30 days?” In addition, 11% replied “yes” regarding projects they were expecting to start more than 30 days from now.

Starting today, AGC of America will be launching an eight-part webinar series exploring many aspects of the coronavirus pandemic, and the impacts on the construction industry.

RE: COVID‐19 and Idaho’s Construction Industry

Dear Governor Little,

On behalf of over 1,000 companies from across Idaho that are represented by our two organizations and the more than 50,000 Idahoans they employ, we write to thank you for your bold leadership in confronting the COVID‐19 health concern. Your recent executive orders and the proactive steps taken by your administration will certainly aid in “flattening the curve” of the infection.

Please see the important message from ITD in AT THIS LINK related to COVID-19 and this year's construction season.

 

We all share similar resources in Idaho in terms of Trade Partners and Vendors with reliance on City Services and other Government Agencies to serve our clients.  We also share a love of this great Industry and the people who make it happen in the field as Builders of America and Okland Construction is sharing this website with you if you feel it to be of use as reference/comparison in order to establish best practices with the Trade Partners, Vendors, and Owners as we move through this pandemic together.
