Veneklasen Construction of Grand Rapids, Michigan, has been recognized for architectural excellence by being awarded two Hall of Fame awards by Varco Pruden Buildings, one of the nation’s largest building-solutions companies.
Two West Michigan buildings constructed this year by the general contractor Veneklasen Construction have been named to Varco Pruden’s 2024 Hall of Fame: Irish Boat Shop in Harbor Springs, MI and Tender Lawn Care in Grand Rapids, MI.
Varco Pruden’s highly competitive Hall of Fame Awards are presented annually to builders whose work reflects innovation and excellence through the integration of VP building systems, products, architectural appearance, end use, and design. Submissions include a range of industrial, commercial, retail, and municipal structures, and builders may submit multiple projects.
Irish Boat Shop is a 15,250 SF retail location located in Harbor Springs, Michigan. Veneklasen Construction acted as the steel erector for this project and worked closely with designer Bluebird Day Architecture and Varco Pruden’s Conventional Steel Services to design and erect the steel to the client’s specifications. This close collaboration resulted in a beautiful and functional building that was recognized by Varco Pruden in the category of Conventional Steel Building.
Tender Lawn Care’s new building is a 33,696 square foot pre-engineered metal structure designed by architecture firm Ghafari Associates. The building houses the company’s offices and is used to store, clean, and maintain Tender Lawn Care’s vehicle fleet as well as other landscaping and snow removal equipment. Locating offices and important operational functions on one property is allowing the growing company to improve efficiencies and better serve their customers. This building earned Hall of Fame recognition in the Miscellaneous category.
Veneklasen Construction CEO Chris Veneklasen had this to say about the Hall of Fame awards: “We are immensely proud of these achievements and grateful for the opportunity to showcase the talent and dedication of our team on a national stage. Being recognized by Varco Pruden, a respected authority in the industry and a valued business partner, further validates our position as leaders in builders of conventional and pre-engineered metal buildings. These awards not only recognize the expertise of our team but also highlight our relentless pursuit of innovation and quality in every aspect of our work.”
