Every year, the Cape Coral Construction Industry Association celebrates those who contribute the most to the organization, whether it be financially or through volunteerism with the group and community.
On Dec. 6, the CCCIA held its annual ACE Awards and holiday party at Cape Cabaret, complete with a Moulin Rouge theme, where it also installed its new president and board of directors.
"The ACE Awards exemplifies what the membership has contributed to the CCCIA, the industry and the community, over the past year," CCCIA executive director Lynn Boldissar said.
The awards were given for Contractor, Subcontractor/ Supplier and Affiliate of the Year, with three finalists for each category.
The Contractor of the Year was Total Custom Builders. PPC Tile was Supplier of the Year, and Atlantic Engineering was Affiliate of the Year.
Boldissar said winning the award is the pinnacle of what a member of the organization does, especially those who may not have been in the business very long. Total Custom Builders was an example of this.
"Total Custom Builders have not been in business very long as the other builders with us, but they've made a big impact," Boldissar said. "Not only do they contribute to other nonprofits, they also contribute to the industry and voice concerns to the city in those matters."
Also, when one of the contractors went out of business, they took on the workload of that company and finished those projects.
Also, Keith Quackenbush, president at Temperature-Pro, was installed as the new CCCIA president along with the rest of the board of directors. Quackenbush also gave the annual "State of the CCCIA" address.
With 2024 pretty much in the books, it's time to look ahead to 2025. And the CCCIA will waste no time getting cracking.
The annual Showcase of Homes kicks things off with a dinner presentation of awards on Thursday, Jan. 16 at the La Venezia Ballroom starting at 5:30 p.m.
