Build San Diego Awards - 2021

Every two years, AGC recognizes the contractors that build outstanding buildings and supporting infrastructure that help make San Diego County such a beautiful region. On November 16, 2021, AGC honored the "best of the best" at AGC's 2021 Build San Diego Awards luncheon at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. Over 300 guests enjoyed the afternoon's festivities, including a number of elected officials, government and educational leaders, owners, developers, architects, and engineers.

The luncheon was sponsored by Hawthorne Cat and Torrey Pines Bank, and the Master of Ceremonies was Heather Myers from KFMB-TV.

The Build San Diego Award entries were evaluated in terms of excellence in project management, innovation in construction techniques or materials, excellence in client service, contractor's contribution to the community as it relates to the project, and meeting the challenges of a difficult job.

The entries were reviewed, and the finalists and award winners were selected by a panel of judges:

Gabriel Acero - Deputy Director of Construction, Caltrans
Jill Bankston - P.E., Acting City Engineer, Development Services Department, City of Encinitas
Lou Smith - Former Commander at NAVFAC, Former Port Commissioner
Cid Tesoro - V.P., Facilities and Engineering, Port of San Diego
Robin Tsuchida - Senior Director for Campus Projects, UCSD

All the project finalists (descriptions and photos) can be viewed in a special edition of AGC San Diego's Constructor magazine. The diverse projects are an integral part of the region's economy, and they represent the hard work of architects, engineers and construction firms.
