AGC Houston Honors Houston's Top Commercial Contractors with Prestigious APEX Awards

On September 27th, we proudly celebrated the most outstanding projects built by our members at the Denim and Diamonds-themed Awards for Project Excellence (APEX) Gala, held at the Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa. This biennial event honors member companies for their consistent excellence in construction, valuable contributions to the community, and commitment to skill, integrity, and responsibility.

At the event, we had the honor of presenting Stan Marek, President and CEO of the Marek Family of Companies, with the 2024 AGC Houston Master Builder Award, that recognized his significant contributions to advancing the commercial built environment in the Greater Houston area. This marks the first time in APEX history that a specialty contractor has received this award. Stan joins a distinguished group of past recipients, including contractors, designers, project owners, and local leaders who have shaped Houston. His legacy of growing his family’s company into one of the leading subcontractors in the commercial construction market, along with his ongoing advocacy for industry-wide initiatives, makes him a true Master Builder.

Additionally, for the first time in APEX history, we introduced the Grand APEX Award to honor the top-scoring projects in both the general and specialty contractor categories. Tellepsen received the Grand APEX for General Contractor for their remarkable work on the Memorial Park Kinder Land Bridge & Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Prairie, while Camarata Masonry Systems, Ltd. was honored with the Grand APEX for Specialty Contractor for their exceptional work on Block 58 (“Texas Tower”).
