Awards
Messer has won every major construction industry award. Organizations like the Associated General Contractors, Associated Builders and Contractors, and Design-Build Institute of America stage annual competitions in which the harshest critics – industry peers – evaluate hundreds of projects. Only the best win these awards.
Despite our many awards for outstanding complex commercial construction projects, these awards represent only a portion of our recognition. Messer has also received accolades and major awards from organizations outside the construction industry, for meaningful contributions in the areas of supplier diversity and economic inclusion, workplace diversity, safety, corporate citizenship, workers compensation, and ethics. These awards have come from the top levels of state and local government as well as leading private associations.
