Local vs. National Awards – What’s the Difference and Why it Matters!

Believe it or not, project awards season is upon us! All of our hammers, sweat, and – at times – tears summarized for some well-deserved recognition for all of your effort and care. After all, as we wrap up 2021, those 2022 projects are waiting for your bids and nothing says “the best and brightest” better than an award for the last project you completed.

NARI is excited to offer TWO opportunities for your company to be recognized. First, we begin awards season with the Remodeling Excellence Awards which is hosted by NARI of Greaterland Chicago. The Remodeling Excellence Awards recognize all of the construction firms in the Chicagoland region and choose the local winners. Second, NARI National offers the Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards which recognizes construction firms across the country.

Having TWO awards to offer gives your company TWO avenues to win! The best part is that even though you have double the opportunity, it doesn’t require double the work for your marketing team – especially if your “marketing team” is just YOU! When you submit an awards submission to the Remodeling Excellence Awards, you have the option to automatically send that same awards submission to the National CotY awards.

We know you are busy – and we are here to help! We are here to recognize you and help you elevate your business. One of the surefire ways to win more work is to give potential clients a reason to hire you over your competitor – one of those reasons may be because you’re a NARI member…another reason may be because you’re a NARI winner: the best and the brightest in Chicagoland, and perhaps, across the nation.
