Waltham, MA – The Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors recently congratulated Callahan Construction Managers for receiving the Eagle, Green, and Safety awards for its outstanding work on the Alnoba retreat destination in Kensington, N.H.
Over 200 ABC members gathered at the Westin Waltham Hotel for the 24th annual Excellence in Construction Awards, to recognize and celebrate the very best construction projects its companies have to offer.

“Our companies are committed to providing the highest quality of work in a safe and efficient manner,” said ABC MA President Greg Beeman. “Tonight is a great night to recognize their achievements and celebrate the merit shop construction industry as a whole.”
The Safety Excellence award recognizes a project’s exceptional achievements in jobsite safety, the Building Green Award recognizes significant achievements in green construction that have enhanced the sustainability of the built environment and the Eagle Award recognizes overall excellence in project execution, craftsmanship, safety, innovative elements and challenges, and client satisfaction.
Callahan took home the Safety, Green and Eagle Award, representing the pinnacle of achievement, for its work on Alnoba, a 13,920sf retreat destination for individuals, groups and organizations that combines historic New England craftsmanship with state-of-the-art energy efficiency. It is the first building of its kind in New England to earn “Passive House” certification for energy efficiency.
The project incorporated reclaimed timber frames from the early 1900’s and those that were designed based on traditional timber framing that was common in early 19th century New England.
The Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors is the largest construction trade association in the Commonwealth, representing some 400 local general contractor, subcontractor, and supplier and associate companies. These companies employ more than 20,000 workers throughout Massachusetts.
