ENR Southeast is proud to announce the winners of our 2019 Best Projects competition! This year, we received more 120 project entries, a roughly 33% jump from a year ago. After reviewing this year's entries over the period of a couple of weeks, our independent panel of Best Projects judges selected a total of 40 projects to be recognized with some level of award.

Our independent panel of jurors—which includes panelists from from across the Southeast A/E/C community—included the following: Jamie Breme, Fluor Corp.; Keith Douglas, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co.; Ken Gerrard, T.A. Loving Co.; Ray Riddle, Holder Construction; Aaron Thomas, MetCon Construction; and Ron Whalen, Roger B. Kennedy Construction.

Coming Up

Additionally, our panel of judges nominated finalists for ENR Southeast's 2019 Project of the Year. These finalists will be announced via ENR.com soon, and then recognized for this achievement both in the print magazine and at our Best Projects Awards event, to be held Nov. 1 in Orlando. Of course, that's also where ENR Southeast will announce the Project of the Year winner.

All winning project teams — as well as our Owner of the Year, Design Firm of the Year, Contractor of the Year, Specialty Contractor of the Year and Legacy Award winner — will be celebrated in Orlando on Nov. 1 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld . Click here to register for the event!

Congratulations to all our winners!
