Wolfe Electric Honored for Excellence

LINCOLN, NE – March 30, 2004 – Wolfe Electric Company Inc. has been honored with the 2004 Eighth Annual “Excellence in Construction Award.” Wolfe Electric is an electrical construction company doing business in and around the Lincoln and Omaha areas since 1977.

The Cornhusker Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) presented the award to Wolfe Electric in recognition of the company's work on the Wilderness Ridge Clubhouse located in southwest Lincoln. Wolfe Electric CEO and President Richard Wolfe accepted the award during the Excellence in Construction Banquet held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Omaha.

“When we first began this project, it didn't take long to understand its uniqueness. The extreme attention to detail and superior quality demanded by the owners of Wilderness Ridge are clearly seen throughout the structure,” said Wolfe. “We are proud to have been a part of this one-of-a-kind project.”

ABC's awards competition is designed to publicly recognize the quality and distinction of merit shop construction projects. Entries were evaluated by independent judges on craftsmanship, execution and coordination, budget and scheduling, owner satisfaction, difficult or unusual challenges, and safety. Wolfe Electric is now eligible to enter ABC's National Excellence in Construction Awards Program.

The Cornhusker Chapter of ABC represents more than 240 merit shop contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, manufacturers, and associate members throughout the state. There are 81 ABC chapters nationally with over 23,000 member companies advocating the merit shop philosophy, which stresses merit rewards for employee performance and promotes high quality construction at competitive rates.
