Each year, Engineering News-Record (ENR) selects the best recently completed projects in each region from those submitted by project team members for its Regional Best Project Awards. Entries are chosen by a group of A/E/C industry judges based on criteria related to overcoming challenges and teamwork, safety, innovation, contribution to the industry/community, construction quality/craftsmanship and function and aesthetic quality of design.

A process of collaborative teamwork to achieve measurable results through commitments and productive relationships, Partnering helps even the most challenging projects excel in all the aforementioned areas. Affirming the value of Partnering, four complex projects conducting formal Partnering programs facilitated by Ventura Consulting Group were named among the recipients of the ENR California 2019 Regional Best Project Awards.
