WELLESLEY, Mass.  - At a recent gala at Fenway Park, Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts (AGC) announced the winners of the inaugural AGC Build Industry Technology Awards.  This juried awards program recognizes firms for the outstanding and innovative ways they are using technology to increase competitiveness and create a better working environment for employees in the construction community.

The Leadership in Technology Award went to Tocci Building Companies. Tocci was one of the first construction companies in the northeast to fully adopt BIM (Building Information Modeling).  The firm has developed the region’s most savvy BIM experts and has become a leader in extracting the power of BIM to ignite the birth of virtual design and construction (VDC). 

The Innovation in Technology Award went to William A. Berry & Son, Inc., who created a mobile access technology system for safety as a way to ensure safe jobsites.  The system records, tracks and analyzes safety data on site, ensuring that inspections are thorough, fast and conducted in a consistent manner by all teams on all jobs. 

AGC congratulates these two major construction firms for their forward-thinking approach to solving issues faced in building the facilities we all use today.

AGC is a professional construction association representing the majority of firms providing building construction services for commercial and institutional clients in the commonwealth.
