Builders Exchange

The BX Craftsmanship Award judges selected 12 individuals to be honored with a 2011 BX Craftsmanship Award. The Craftsmanship recipients were selected from 41 nominations of work completed throughout the central Ohio area during the past year.

The Builders Exchange Craftsmanship Award is one of the highest honors for trade people in the commercial construction industry. A craftsperson is recognized as an outstanding role model in their fields -- elevating their trade to a craft.

Since 1964, the Exchange has recognized individuals who have performed the highest quality work on projects, both large and small, throughout the central Ohio area.

The BX Craftsmanship Awards recognize the finest craftsmen - people who don't just take pride in what they do, but those who go above and beyond to do outstanding work. Recent winners have included: carpenters, drywall installers, electricians, masons and flooring specialists.

Award winners are chosen based on innovation, workmanship and overall quality of the project. Winners will be recognized by the industry in November at the 119^th Annual Meeting of the Builders Exchange.
