On Dec. 3, in a live ceremony held online, Don Allen, executive director of the Steel Framing Industry Association, announced the nine project winners of the 2024 SFIA Industry Project Awards. The “SFIA Awards” recognize excellence in the use of SFIA-certified cold-formed steel products, which have passed physical tests for mechanical properties, coatings and manufactured dimensions and thus represent the “top tier” in steel framing manufacturing and construction excellence.

“We had amazing participation this year, our second year,” Allen said. “We’re proud of all the participants, and we celebrate with the winners.”

The winners of the SFIA’s 2024 Industry Project Awards are:

• Low-Rise Project: South Valley Drywall for the Bloom Exhibit at the Children’s Museum in Denver
