The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston (BRAGB) honored industry leaders with its annual PRISM Awards on Oct. 6 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. The awards recognize the projects and achievements of architects, builders, developers, interior designers, land planners, marketing and advertising firms, project owners, remodelers and other professionals in the homebuilding industry.
Competition for the awards is fierce and receipt of one is a high honor in the field. Banker & Tradesman celebrates the gold and silver winners of this year’s awards, and invites readers to peruse the complete list of winners, as well as some of the spectacular projects we have chosen to highlight, on subsequent pages.
Congratulations, PRISM Award winners!
