MCAA TEAM Awards

MCAA TEAM Awards Go to 13 Winners at Midyear Meeting

The Tribute to Exemplary Achievements in Masonry (TEAM) Awards recognize quality masonry projects resulting from strong creative vision and skilled execution. Members of the construction team also are recognized for accomplishments in masonry design and construction.

The TEAM Awards ceremony took place in September during the MCAA Midyear Meeting in Milwaukee. The awards were presented to the mason contractor, general contractor, architect, masonry supplier and building owner.

All projects were judged on design, craftsmanship, percent of visible masonry, overall aesthetic appeal, and masonry difficulty. The jury panel consisted of mason contractors not competing in the competition, selected by MCAA TEAM Award committee members.
