CFA Awards
CFA Projects of the Year
The “Basement of the Year” was created in 1999 to begin recognizing the unbelievable side of the residential concrete foundation business. During the next six years, this program became affectionately known as the “Basement from Hell”.
In 2008, the program was renamed "Project of the Year" and was updated to be more representative of the broad market that concrete professionals in the CFA cover. No longer simply about THE most unbelievable basement, this award program seeks to recognize the accomplishments of the many professional contractors as they apply their skill and creativity to residential structures of all sizes, commercial projects, above-grade projects and anything else that requires out-of-the-box thinking.
Check out the incredible projects below for examples of the complexity that is possible with poured wall basement construction.
