BIRMINGHAM, AL — The Alabama Associated General Contractors (Alabama AGC) hosted its annual BUILDSouth Awards Ceremony at the Club in Birmingham, Alabama.

BUILDSouth celebrates the projects and contractors of Alabama AGC chapter members, as well as individual recognition among member companies, the organization's partnerships, and charitable contributions from the previous year. Submissions range from safety and project management to community relations and environmental sensitivity. The ceremony also featured the installation of the 2025 Alabama AGC Executive Committee and Board of Directors.

“We are excited to have Greer Walker with Wiregrass Construction in Huntsville as President of our great organization, and thanks to Mac Caddell of Caddell Construction in Montgomery for all his hard work this past year," said Billy Norrell, CEO of Alabama AGC. "We wouldn’t be the largest, oldest, and most respected construction organization in Alabama without our volunteer leaders of Alabama AGC."

The chapter inducted Marc Dempsey of B. H. Craig Construction in Florence and John White-Spunner with White-Spunner Construction in Mobile into the Alabama Construction Hall of Fame. Alongside the hall of fame inductees, five recipients of the Alabama AGC Savage Scholarship were recognized, along with student winners of the AGC of America Scholarships from Auburn University and Tuskegee University. In addition, for the first time in its 105-year history, Alabama AGC presented the S.I.R. Award (Skill, Integrity, and Responsibility) to Charlotte Kopf for her 50 years of service to the association.

“We are so grateful for the dedication and loyalty that Charlotte has shown to the Mobile Section of Alabama AGC and the entire organization," said Mike Tew of S. J. and L. Contractors in Mobile. "I can’t think of a more deserving recipient of the association’s first-ever S.I.R. honoree.”
