The Minnesota Concrete and Masonry Contractor Association (MC&MCA) members use masonry and concrete to build environmentally and structurally sound buildings that are less expensive to operate and maintain. Buildings that last the test of time are made with masonry and concrete!

The buildings shown here have been selected for this year's Excellence in Concrete and Masonry Design and Construction Awards. The MC&MCA thanks the architects, designers and engineers who consistently promote the use of masonry and concrete. MC&MCA also wishes to thank its contractors, suppliers and their employees who build with quality and pride in mind.
