The Associated General Contractors of New Hampshire recognized leading construction projects, contractors and industry professionals during its 2026 Awards Night held May 13 in Manchester, N.H.

More than 100 contractors, subcontractors, engineers, suppliers and public officials attended the event, which highlighted project execution, safety performance, innovation and leadership across New Hampshire’s construction sector.

AGC of NH officials also highlighted the organization’s increased industry engagement over the past year, including expanded membership outreach, committee participation and advocacy efforts tied to construction industry issues.

“Tonight is about recognizing the projects and teams that represent the very best of New Hampshire’s construction industry,” said AGC of NH Executive Vice President Alex Koutroubas. “These projects required innovation, coordination, craftsmanship, leadership and problem-solving at the highest level.”

The association additionally recognized members of its board of directors, event sponsors and volunteer judges who evaluated submissions for the 2026 Achievements in Construction program.
