3 Texas Association of Builders Awards Local TABA Builders

The Texas Association of Builders (TAB) presented awards to two TABA builders, John McKinney and Erin Wright. The highly-coveted Texas Association of Builders Awards were given in conjunction with the Sunbelt Builders Show™ to recognize excellence in all areas of the home building industry.

TAB announced John McKinney as a 2017 Excellence under 45 Award winner in recognition of his commitment to the Texas building industry.

The Excellence under 45 Award Program was developed by the TAB Young Professionals Council and is designed to acknowledge young professionals for their hard work and successes, reward their performance and showcase them as future leaders of the industry across our state.

TAB awarded Erin Wright a Star Award for the category Best Special Project, Non-Primary Residence, recognizing her work on the Red Rooster Icehouse in Hawkins.

The 2017 Star Awards recognized the outstanding work of builders, remodelers, architects, designers, sales professionals, marketing professionals, construction professionals and industry leaders in Texas and the Southwest. Entries were judged by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
