DALLAS, October 23, 2008
–Turner Construction’s Dallas office won three Excellence in
Construction Awards and three Merit Awards at the Associated
Builders and Contractors (ABC) of North Texas’ annual Excellence in
Construction Awards banquet, held October 22 at the Belo Mansion in
downtown Dallas. The ABC Excellence in Construction Awards recognize

Turner won the award in the “commercial $5-$10 million” category for

six-floor bank renovation was completed with extensive millwork,

the U.S. Army’s new Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) mission.
Lastly, Turner won the award in the “renovation less than $4
million” category for its renovation of Dallas’ legendary Mansion
Restaurant at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. The project involved
6,000 square feet of interior renovation, which pays tribute to the
