BUILDER OF THE YEAR  Each year the regional management teams select a Builder of the Year. This is not meant to necessarily be the top volume or largest or oldest – but the model builder, the builder who consistently over time does things the professional way, things like maintaining strong sales, good market share, building great projects, treating Ceco and customers alike with honestly and respect, dominating his market. Every builder in this room knows the attributes of a great contracting firm.
