The Excellence in Construction© Awards celebration honors the nation's most innovative and high-quality construction projects and safety programs.
Each year, the ABC Cornhusker Chapter provides the opportunity for members to compete for honors in the construction industry’s premier annual awards program: the Excellence in Construction EIC Awards.

Saint Wenceslaus Catholic Church

St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Omaha, Nebraska, added a 41,398-square-foot addition to the church and a 6,755-square-foot support wing that consists of offices, a kitchen, workroom, and conference rooms.
The ceiling of the main entry featured tongue and groove paneling that would be used in five other ceilings throughout the project, as well as at some wall finishes. Throughout the corridors and narthex rooms, poplar box beams were installed at the ceiling to give it an exposed beam look. Nearly 1,400 lineal feet of varying size box beams were installed throughout the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church corridors.
