ABC Carolinas was thrilled to celebrate the outstanding contributions of its members at the 2024 Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards gala, held in Charlotte on November 7, 2024. Awards for first place (Eagle) and runner-up (Merit) were presented in a variety of categories across two divisions: General Contractors and Specialty Contractors.
SouthCon was honored with two major awards during the event, winning EIC awards for both Historical Renovation and General Contractor: Project of the Year. These recognitions highlight SouthCon’s exceptional craftsmanship, project execution, and commitment to excellence in construction.
General Contractor | Project of the Year
The 2024 General Contractor Project of the Year was taken home by SouthCon Building Group, LLC for the Boone Hall Plantation 1850s Cotton Gin House Renovation/Addition located in Mount Pleasant, SC. This technically complex project created a multipurpose event space, gift shop and museum at the heart of America’s most photographed plantation. The 1850s “Gin House” had been “shuttered” for 15 years when SouthCon began renovation/restoration activities. As SouthCon tackled numerous anticipated challenges, the team encountered an array of unforeseen conditions. One major unexpected challenge was creating a seamless tie-in to the new construction portion.
