Celebrating Excellence in Community Projects with ICF Awards

Atlantic Builders Supply Northeast Commends Building Innovators

Atlantic Builders Supply Northeast takes pride in commending two significant projects that have been recognized through prestigious awards aimed at celebrating outstanding contributions to the building community. The admiration is particularly directed at Groen Construction and Key Industries for their exemplary project executions. At an event filled with admiration for innovation and modern construction techniques, their hard work truly shone.

Recognizing Exceptional Contributions in Building Projects

At the annual awards ceremony held at World of Concrete, two projects spearheaded by these leaders in construction were acknowledged. The Bristol Public Safety Building was awarded the top accolade in the Light Commercial Category, while the Penacook Community Center earned third place in the Education Category. These recognitions highlight how insulated concrete form (ICF) construction methods are redefining sustainability and efficiency in building practices.

Projects That Set a New Standard

The Bristol Public Safety Building stands as a notable example of municipal construction innovation. This facility, designed to house the police and fire departments, reflects a commitment to energy efficiency and durability that is essential in today’s building climate. Groen Construction played an integral role as the general contractor, demonstrating their expertise by closely collaborating on design and execution with the city.

“Developing the Bristol Public Safety Building involved a thoughtful approach to design,” reflected senior vice president and ICF division manager at Groen Construction, Dave Groen. “We transformed a previous design from another project into something tailored for Bristol’s specific requirements, allowing for efficient operation within a single facility.” This collaborative effort is a testament to the importance of strong partnerships in the construction industry.

Redefining Community Centers with ICF Technology

On the other hand, the Penacook Community Center exemplifies how modern building techniques can create versatile spaces for community engagement. This 8,900-square-foot facility is more than just a building; it is a hub for children, families, and seniors. Built using Nudura ICF technology, it replaces old and inefficient structures, paving the way for a sustainable, net-zero energy-ready facility.

Key Industries took the lead on this ambitious project that came together remarkably in just two months. The vice president of Key Industries, Matthew Salmonson, noted, “The beauty of this project lies in its transformation; while it utilizes ICF technology, it is seamlessly integrated into the community, offering high energy efficiency without compromising style.”

Benefits of ICF Construction

Both projects showcase essential benefits associated with ICF construction. The energy-efficient designs not only promise to save on utility costs but also enhance overall building performance by providing soundproofing and durability to meet long-term community needs. The Bristol facility anticipates annual utility savings of around $20,000, showcasing how innovative construction can lead to financial benefits in addition to improved quality of life for community residents.

Commitment to Sustainability

Atlantic Builders Supply Northeast is deeply committed to innovative and sustainable building practices. As articulated by president Joe Harnois, the company’s focus aligns with community-oriented projects that thrive on successful collaboration. “Our mission is to support leading contractors like Groen Construction and Key Industries as they work towards creating impactful projects that resonate with the community,” Harnois stated.

Looking Ahead: Future Projects
