Newton, MA By Associated Builders and Contractors standards, 2021 has had a great year of achievement for Bowdoin Construction. The ABC-MA Excellence in Construction Awards dinner returned to an in-person event this past November. Bowdoin received an award for the Temple Beth Avodah chapel addition and renovation project, designed by Bechtel Frank Erickson Architects. Also presented that night were the ABC STEP safety awards, where they achieved the top-level Diamond recognition.
The ABC also recognizes Accredited Quality Contractors, which involves an annual recertification process. This year Bowdoin was acknowledged as an Accredited Quality Contractor for the 17th consecutive year.
