Each year, Procore – the maker of the construction management software of the same name – hosts their annual construction technology conference, Groundbreak. As part of the festivities, the company is looking to celebrate the most groundbreaking companies, people, and projects in the construction industry and they need your help.
The 2021 Groundbreaker Awards will pick winners for 8 different categories:
Excellence in Sustainability – the company or project the most efficiently uses environmentally responsible processes throughout the project.
Excellence in Innovation – the company that pushes the boundaries of technology in construction the most
Excellence in Safety – the company or project that represents the best in safety
Excellence in Community – the company or project that made the biggest impact to its surrounding area
Groundbreaker of the Year (Individual Award) – the person that achieves the highest standards of the industry
General Contractor / Main Contractor / Head Contractor Project Excellence – the GC that exhibits the best overall project excellence.
Specialty Contractor / Subcontractor Project Excellence – the specialty/trade contractor that exhibits the best overall project excellence
Owner Project Excellence – the project owner that exhibits the best overall project excellence
Finalists for each award will receive a complimentary guest pass to Groundbreak, a Groundbreaker Award Plaque and Groundbreaker hoodie, have their story announced on Procore’s various outlets, and a social media package for their company.
In addition to the awards above, winners will receive a much fancier trophy, instead of the plaque, and additional exposure and promotion through Procore’s Customer Story Package.
The Groundbreaker of the Year will receive the awards mentioned above, as well as a complimentary VIP pass to Groundbreak 2022, round trip airfare, and hotel accommodations.
If you know a company, person, or project that deserves to be honored in any of these categories, you can submit them on the Groundbreaker Awards website. Submissions will be accepted now through June 18, followed by evaluations from June 28 through July 30, the announcement of the finalists on September 13, and finally declaring the winners at Groundbreak 2021 on October 4.
