Gold Circle Award Applications Open Until October 13, 2017

Outstanding workmanship, innovative solutions and safety are the categories being recognized by the Gold Circle Awards.

The Gold Circle Awards program recognizes Alliance and NRCA members for outstanding contributions to the roofing industry. Unique roofing-related jobs, programs and services completed between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2017, will be eligible for the 2018 competition. This video features the 2017 Gold Circle Award finalists' projects.

2018 Categories

• Outstanding Workmanship—Low-slope (3:12 or less)
• Outstanding Workmanship—Steep-slope (greater than 3:12)
• Outstanding workmanship in a roofing application by a contractor and crew can comprise a particularly challenging job, difficult design, abnormal working conditions, use of difficult materials, etc.
• Innovative Solutions—New Construction
• Innovative Solutions—Reroofing. Innovative solutions can comprise difficult jobs, smart solutions to problems, environmentally friendly projects, etc.
• Safety Preparedness and Performance. The safety award is presented for projects where site-specific safety considerations were considered and included in the proposal as the job was being bid, a formal plan was created after selection that was updated as the project continued and all parts were reviewed upon project completion. Explaining how safety was integrated into unique job elements and impacted by creative solutions and procedures that may have, for example, included multiple trades or unique worker or public protection issues, is encouraged. Documentation of these phases and evidence of lessons learned from close-call investigations that help create safer jobs in the future are key.
