The Wall And Ceiling Alliance (WACA) is proud to recognize this year’s extraordinary contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers for their outstanding achievements and contribution to construction and safety. For the past twelve years, WACA has held its Construction Excellence Awards (CEA), honoring wall and ceiling contractors that have performed exceptional craftsmanship in their respective fields. The awards program prizes seventeen distinct categories and three safety categories.
The Excellence in Safety Awards (ESA) recognition is granted to contractors with leading safety practices that excel in multiple areas of safety and with low experience modification rates. This year’s ESA recipients recognized for safety achievement are Raymond-Northern California, Inc., Anning-Johnson Company, and California Drywall Co.
CEA is the largest wall and ceiling awards show in the western region, acknowledging contractors and individuals contributing to the build of the outstanding award-winning project. The projects and companies listed represent the pinnacle of construction achievement in the respective categories.
