Bancroft Wins Two Construction Excellence Awards
Bancroft Construction Company has been awarded both the 2009 Construction Excellence Award, co-sponsored by the Delaware Contractors Association and the State of Delaware Office of Management and Budget; and the Associated Builders and Contractors Delaware Excellence in Construction Award. Award criteria included design and craftsmanship, excellence in project teamwork, innovation in techniques or materials, meeting the challenges of a difficult job, and safety.
Both awards were received for the AstraZeneca Service Provider Center located in Wilmington, Delaware. Certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council, the 3,600 square foot building incorporates sustainable products and green building concepts within an exceptionally functional building. Careful and deliberate planning went into things such as site location and roof design in order to minimize the structure’s impact on the surrounding environment. Through the use of water efficient landscaping, dual action flush-o-meters, touchless faucets, and waterless urinals, the building uses 30% less water than conventional designs. The building’s thermal envelope, 10kw photovoltaic panel system and ground source heat pump provide increased energy efficiency. In addition, the materials used in construction contain over 21% recycled content, over 90% of construction site debris was recycled or reused, and over 26% of construction materials were manufactured locally.
Members of the Bancroft project team include Project Manager Rob Jadick, Construction Manager Ben Krapf, Superintendent Dave Fielder, and Project Coordinator Cheryl Fearn.
