Congratulations

Knobelsdorff Electric, Goodhue…  Congratulations to Knobelsdorff Electric who were honored with a first-place award for excellence in construction by MN/ND Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) at the 2018 Excellence In Construction Banquet at The Metropolitan in Minneapolis for its Dundas Community Solar Garden in the Specialty Construction > 1 Million category. ABC’s awards program is designed to publicly recognize the quality and innovation of merit shop construction and to honor all the members of the construction team, including the contractor, the owner and the design team responsible for the project. The winning projects were selected from entries submitted across the state and were judged on complexity, attractiveness, unusual challenges, completion time, workmanship, innovation, safety, and budget.
