Atlanta Building Company can handle projects of virtually all sizes and budgets while maintaining the same attention to detail and creative talents that established them as a leader in the construction industry.

Contractors from seven regions around the country vie for CotY Awards on an annual basis, and all regional winners will be eligible for National CotY Awards at NARI's Evening of ExcellenceSM on April 10 at the Wyndham Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona. Most projects submitted for judging were an improvement or an addition to an existing structure, with the exception of one category, "Residential Exterior Specialty." Otherwise, new construction projects were not eligible. In addition, competing projects were completed between July 1 of 2008 and November 30 of 2009 (a 17-month time period) and were not submitted in prior NARI National contests. Judging for regional awards took place at the Association's national headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, in early January. An impartial panel of judges who are experts within the industry and associated fields, selected winners based on each entrant's "before and after" photography and project description. Judging was based on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation.

Trophies will be awarded at the Evening of ExcellenceSM at the Wyndham Phoenix on April 10, 2010, where National CotY Winners and Achievement Award Winners will also be announced and awarded.

The Evening of ExcellenceSM is widely considered to be the premier event of the year in the remodeling industry. It will be attended by more than 350 of the industry's elite.
