AGC of California Celebrates Best of the Best in the Construction Industry.

The BuildOUT California ‘crew’ joined the AGC of California to celebrate their Annual Installation & Awards Gala held on Friday, February 2 at the historic Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, where we held a ‘pre-event’ reception at the infamous Tonga Lounge. BuildOUT California, with the support from ANCO IRON & CONSTRUCTION INC, couldn’t keep up with the demand for tickets to our sponsored tables for the event. Next year we’ll have 3 tables (or more)!

Last Friday at the AGC of California Installation and Awards Gala, we marveled at the construction industry's talent and innovation.

Our biggest takeaway? The construction landscape is teeming with talented firms that are not just building structures but are crafting the future with each project they undertake. The dedication, innovation, and excellence we witnessed are testaments to the vibrant future ahead for our industry.

Congrats to all the remarkable firms and projects highlighted!
