CFA Announces Call for Entries for 2009 Projects of the Year Awards

MOUNT VERNON, IA (Aug. 12, 2008) – The Concrete Foundations Association (CFA) has announced the call for entries for the “2009 Projects of the Year” Award, formerly known as the “Basement of the Year”.

CFA is an influential organization within the construction industry that serves as an informational and networking tool for its members and carries out a multitude of educational and promotional efforts for the advancement of concrete foundation technology.

According to Ed Sauter, (top right photo) executive director of CFA, the Basement of the Year competition enables foundation contractors to display the wide range of projects that are being completed today. The technological advancements that have been made in the poured wall industry allow contractors to complete complex projects more efficiently, which helps ensure homeowners’ dreams are realized, said Sauter.

“Each year the projects submitted to this competition get more complicated and demonstrate the diversity afforded through poured wall foundations,” said Sauter. “With the increased focus we have created on technical and business competence, exposing the industry to the craftsmanship that exists is of utmost value.”

Voting takes place at the CFA booth during the World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Feb. 3--6, 2009 in Las Vegas and online at http://www.cfawalls.org/ beginning January 1st.

Free registration to the World of Concrete exhibits and seminar discounts can be obtained from the CFA website or through their various media sources. The rules and categories for submission can be found on the CFA website at http://www.cfawalls.org/awards/basement/index.htm.
