Recognizing Collaboration, Contract Administration and Successful Municipal Infrastructure Delivery
Successful municipal infrastructure projects depend on more than good design and construction. They require clear contracts, effective administration, open communication and collaboration among Owners, Consultants and Contractors.
The Master Municipal Construction Documents Association (MMCD) has established two awards to recognize project teams and individuals who demonstrate these principles in practice.
Awards will be presented at the Master Municipal Construction Documents Association Annual General Meeting.
