Sullivan Construction Receives 2025 Excellence in Construction MERIT Award for the Design Build Medical Office Building in Dover, NH.
New Hampshire—Sullivan Construction is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2025 MERIT Award for Excellence in Construction from the Associated Builders and Contractors NH/VT. This prestigious recognition underscores Sullivan Construction’s unwavering commitment to precision, professionalism, innovation, and safety prioritized at every level.
Associated Builders and Contractors were founded in 1950 in Baltimore, Maryland by a group of seven contractors who believed that construction contracts should be awarded on the basis of merit (qualifications, performance, cost) rather than a union affiliation. Over time, ABC has grown significantly in membership and locations reporting over 23,000 members in 2025. The foundation also broadened its activity to include advocacy, training, safety, workforce development, awards/recognition, and member services.
“Excellence in Construction is more than following policies and procedures, it’s embedded in our culture here at Sullivan Construction,” said Tom Sullivan Jr., President of Sullivan Construction. “It takes attention to detail by every member of our team, from the field to the office, and this recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to providing the best service and outcomes to our clients, and partners.”
