The 62nd Annual Subby Awards Gala was a night to remember. On March 7, nearly 450 construction industry professionals gathered at the Hilton McLean for an elegant, cherry blossom–inspired celebration recognizing 21 outstanding honorees from the subcontractor, general contractor, and service provider sectors. With a record-setting 113 nominations, the evening showcased the depth of talent, leadership, and collaboration that continues to elevate our region’s construction industry.
As ASAMW’s signature event, the Subby Awards honor those who exemplify our commitment to Better Construction Through Fair Construction—from project excellence and safety leadership to teamwork and industry impact. We are proud to celebrate this year’s nominees and winners, whose work sets the standard for our industry.
The event was well-received by the attendees, who praised the Gala on social media and in the event survey. Lynn Stith Bennett, CEO of Coakley & Williams Construction (CWC), said, “A great evening celebrating with our Trade Partners whose skill, dedication, and partnership make our work possible. We truly could not do it without you.”
Twenty-one companies who are part of ASAMW’s GC Partner program were recognized during the evening as well. (pictured below)
