Donley’s Concrete Group (DCG) recently submitted a project to the Associated Builders and Contractors, INC (ABC) Excellence in Construction (EIC) awards program. This award program is the industry’s premier competition, with hundreds of projects vying to be named the best in North Carolina in up to 50 categories. Of the 69 projects submitted for judging in this year’s ABC Carolinas Chapter EIC Awards Program, DCG will receive a Merit Award for The Dillon project.

The ABC EIC award application requires detailed descriptions of the project’s scope, a narrative of the construction process, and discussing challenges and how they were overcome. These in-depth descriptions present to the judges why The Dillon ranks on top, which also challenges our team to take a more comprehensive look at the project and the story it conveys to the community.

The Dillon Supply project is the first mixed-use development of its kind in downtown Raleigh’s rapidly expanding, vibrant Warehouse District. Completed in January 2018, the project included an 18-story office tower with retail space and two six-story apartment buildings with an adjoining parking deck. This structure reuses and preserves parts of the original Dillon Supply warehouse building, a 100-year-old Raleigh company. Donley’s provided turnkey concrete construction services on the project to Barnhill Contracting Company and Theys Construction Company.

The ABC award application requires detailed descriptions over-viewing the scope of the overall project, a narrative that tells the story, presents to the judges why The Dillon ranks on top, along with a look into some challenges and solutions that occurred during the construction process. It is also important that the application remains creative but does not take any attention away from the overall project.

“Through the rigorous quality control and schedule management, The Dillon Project was completed several weeks early.”
