The Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) has announced the 2026 Silver Awards of Excellence Awards winners, recognizing the exceptional projects and teams advancing to the next stage of the 37th Annual Awards of Excellence.
Selected from 114 nominations submitted across 19 categories, the Silver Award winners showcase the skill, collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving that define the region’s construction industry. This year’s nominated projects represent nearly $4.9 billion in construction value and reflect the extraordinary range of work being delivered by VRCA member companies.
“This year’s response was a powerful reflection of the talent, the incredible work, and the sheer magnitude of economic impact being delivered by our members across the region,” said Jeannine Martin, president of the VRCA. “At a time when construction teams are navigating increasing pressures around cost, timelines, and workforce, our Silver Award winners rose to the top of an exceptional field, and their achievements represent not only outstanding construction, but the collaboration, problem-solving, and people behind every successful project. We’re proud to celebrate their work and everything our members continue to build across the Lower Mainland.”
