Manchester, NH — The Associated General Contractors of New Hampshire (AGC of NH) recognized some of the state’s top construction projects, companies, and industry leaders during its 2026 Awards Night held recently in Manchester.
The event brought together over 100 contractors, subcontractors, engineers, suppliers, public officials, and industry partners from across New Hampshire to celebrate excellence in construction, safety, innovation, and leadership. During the program, AGC of NH highlighted the association’s continued growth and industry engagement over the past year, including expanded membership outreach, increased committee activity, stronger communications efforts, and active advocacy on issues impacting the construction industry. The association also recognized members of its board of directors, event sponsors, and the volunteer judges who reviewed this year’s Achievements in Construction submissions.
“Tonight is about recognizing the projects and teams that represent the very best of New Hampshire’s construction industry,” said AGC of NH executive vice president, Alex Koutroubas, during the evening’s remarks. “These projects required innovation, coordination, craftsmanship, leadership, and problem-solving at the highest level.”
AGC of NH presented its Member Appreciation Award to Art Rose of A.W. Rose Construction for his longstanding leadership, service, and commitment to the association and the broader construction industry. Rose previously served as president of AGC of NH and currently represents the association on the State Building Code Review Board. The evening also recognized recipients of the National AGC Safety Awards, honoring companies demonstrating outstanding safety performance and commitment to protecting workers on and off the jobsite.
This year’s Achievements in Construction program received 14 project submissions representing transportation, vertical construction, infrastructure, redevelopment, and specialty contracting projects from across New Hampshire.
