EnviroVantage honored by ABC NH/VT chapter for Excellence

EnviroVantage has received three awards from the Associated Builders and Contactors (ABC) New Hampshire/Vermont chapter. The three awards include an Excellence award for the Kingswood School project, a Merit award for the Ne.H. Community Loan Fund (CLF)project, and a Merit award for the Loring Air Force Base project. The Kingswood School project, which received the top award in its category of Environmental Remediation, was an especially significant project due to the large scope and fast track schedule. The Kingswood Regional School, located in Wolfeboro, consists of Kingswood High School, Kingswood Middle School, and a vocational technical education center. Wishing to bring the three schools up to modern operating standards as well as trying to offset heating costs with the use of geothermal heating and cooling systems, the Governor Wentworth Regional School District hired North Branch Construction as the construction manager for this colossal undertaking. North Branch then hired several local subcontractors to work on the project, including EnviroVantage (EV). EV had to gut out all the buildings to enable North Branch to coordinate the work of all the other trades as they brought the school up to modern day standards. The Kingswood Regional School project spanned three years for EnviroVantage, from 2010 to 2012. Nonetheless, the largest part of the project, the abatement of the Kingswood High School, was completed in 8-10 weeks with 125,000 s/f of abatement being performed total. EnviroVantage was selected by an independent panel of judges as recipients of an ABC Excellence In Construction Award. The Award Winners were determined through an extensive process by the judges, based on execution of design, craftsmanship, attention to detail, safety and other considerations.
