Salem, MA The Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC MA) congratulates Connolly Brothers for earning a Merit Award at the 33rd annual Excellence in Construction Awards for their work on Tropical Products’ new manufacturing and office headquarters. 

The Merit Award Connolly Brothers won for the Tropical Products project is reserved for work that stands above the rest. It recognizes overall excellence in project execution, craftsmanship, safety, innovative elements and challenges, and client satisfaction. 

The Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors is the largest construction trade association in the Commonwealth, representing nearly 500 local general contractor, subcontractor, and supplier and associate companies that employ over 20,000 workers throughout Massachusetts. 

Nearly 250 ABC members gathered at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Norwood on November 6th to recognize and celebrate the very best construction projects their companies have to offer. This year’s applicant pool was particularly competitive, with each winner selected for the high standards of craftsmanship, safety and quality delivered by talented merit shop workers using the efficient merit shop approach. 

“We are proud to recognize the outstanding work of our member contractors through the ABC Excellence in Construction Awards,” said ABC MA President Greg Beeman. “The winning contractors maintained a constant focus on meeting their clients’ needs and set a high bar for craftsmanship, quality and safety.”
