TIAC is excited to announce the 2025 Contractor Excellence Awards, a recognition program that celebrates the exceptional craftsmanship of TIAC’s contractor members. This award serves as a platform to showcase the exemplary performance, quality, and professionalism exhibited by the contractor community.
“The operating efficiency and aesthetic appeal of mechanical systems have always been key aspects of our industry, and insulators have always taken pride in their quality of work,” says Tristan Bertram, TIAC’s director of industry affairs. “That’s why the Pursuit of Excellence is one of TIAC’s core values. Our team recognized the significance of pursuing excellence in our industry and saw an opportunity to highlight this core value and our contractors’ incredible work.”
The Contractor Excellence Awards will spotlight the outstanding contributions of TIAC contractor members with the aim of inspiring others to strive for excellence, and they will reinforce TIAC’s position as a leading advocate for excellence in thermal insulation practices.
“We hope to see various projects entered, particularly those that were challenging or unique and required a high degree of skill to complete,” Bertram says. “We are looking for projects that truly showcase the excellence of our contractor members, ones that make our conference attendees stop and say, ‘Wow!’ If your company wins, you’ll earn some well-deserved bragging rights—make your submission count!”
