5. WHAT HAS ASA DONE FOR YOU LATELY?
Earn National Recognition from ASA for Your Investment in Industry Best Practices
Delivering projects that surpass customer expectations requires expertly orchestrating complex and interrelated factors, including but not limited to safety, working effectively with diverse contractors, subcontractors, consultants, suppliers and field personnel, proper scheduling, effective use of technology, and dispute prevention and resolution. If your company has made the significant investment needed to manage all these and other project performance factors with excellence, it deserves recognition and should apply for ASA’s 2012 National Construction Best Practices Awards. The awards, developed by the ASA Task Force on Ethics in the Construction Industry, recognize contractors that have demonstrated an extraordinary level of commitment to industry best practices, including contract language that substantially reflects the practices incorporated into the ASA-endorsed ConsensusDocs 750 subcontract or 751 short-form subcontract. Firms that have signed a construction services contract directly with a construction owner during the past year are eligible to apply. Learn more about the awards and download application materials under “Education & Events” at www.asaonline.com. The application deadline is Nov. 16, 2012. Isn’t it time you received national recognition for your company’s investment in the practices needed to deliver high-quality projects?
