The Georgia Branch of the AGC awarded Rogers Construction Co. the 2008 Build Georgia Award for their Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement Center in Lawrenceville.
Completed last year, the 40,000 square foot facility is equipped to house hundreds of animals, including farm animals and reptiles, in a humane and sanitary environment. In addition, the facility features surgical suits similar to those found at animal hospitals.
Through teamwork and dedication, Rogers Construction was able to balance the need for not only a specialized and efficient building in which to better house animals, but also the need to create an attractive building for the community.
The Center is expected to receive an estimate of 15,000 stray or abandoned animals over the course of a year.
“The teamwork that went into it between us, the architect and owner, is what makes it stand out. We were able to assist the design team in several instances that worked out problems, made it more user-friendly and appealing to the public,” said Rogers Construction Safety Director Ricky Vickery.

The Georgia Branch of the AGC awarded Rogers Construction with the 2008 Build Georgia Award for their outstanding work on the Ashton Woods Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta.
During the 10-month renovation project, the Rogers team managed to renovate the entire 49,000 square foot, 157-bed complex while it remained fully occupied and functioning normally. The project was completed without a single safety incident.
“It would have been a difficulty enough job had it not been occupied,” said Project Manager Derek Hearn.” “The fact it was occupied made it that much more difficult.”
The Center was further recognized by AGC as the recipient of the Merit Award in the Best Sustainable Building Practices Division.
Thank you to everyone at Ashton Woods and UHS - Pruitt Corporation and to David R. Polston, Architect.

Rogers Construction was honored by the Georgia Branch of the AGC for the third year in a row, winning a Build Georgia Award for their work on Jackson EMC’s new company headquarters. Rogers was also given an honorable mention for the Monroe Elementary build.
While building a 64,000 square foot high quality office like the one for Jackson EMC is normally run of the mill construction, a postponed start and unexpected delays during construction, along with the owner’s request to meet the original completion date DESPITE these holdups compressed the construction period.
For these reasons exceptional management skills were required to re-schedule and coordinate the work. The ‘can do’ attitude of the management team and subcontractors and the quick response to questions from the owner and architect ensured that the critical dates were met making this project truly unique.
Congratulations to Project Manager Ricky Vickery and Superintendent Nick Mercer and thanks to Jackson EMC and Millard, Inc. Architects for making this award possible.
The project at Monroe Elementary had it’s own challenges, including 76 lost days of work due to excessive rainfall. Despite these delays, the Rogers team made good on their commitment to the Walton County Board of Education and made sure that the school opened on time.
Congratulations to Project Manager Chad Clark and Superintendent Steve Porter. Thanks also to the Walton County Board of Education and Sy Richards, Architect who gave us the tools we needed to succeed.

Now that his term as Chairman of the Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors is coming to a close, Roger Huggins finally has the opportunity to stand back and reflect on what he and his colleagues – all hand-picked by the
Governor – have been able to accomplish on behalf of the state.
“It’s been an honor serving as Chairman of the Licensing Board,” says Roger, President of Rogers Construction Company and a 30-year construction industry veteran. “This has been one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of my entire career.”
Chartered in 2005, the Licensing Board’s mission is to develop and implement a licensing program for both residential general contractors by July 1, 2008. Over the past year, Roger has served not only as the Chair of the full board but also as the inaugural Chair of the General Contractor division.
Among the Board’s accomplishments over the last year have been establishing testing criteria for contractors, writing guidelines for applicants, consulting on legislation and ratifying thousands of applications. The process though has been far from easy.
“We were tasked with developing a system that would meet the intent and high expectations of the law and we needed to find ways to maximize the protection we could offer the consumer without causing severe economic damage to contractors,” Roger said. “This year has been a success thanks to the hard work of our board members and staff. We’re all looking forward to seeing the program take effect next year.”
Next steps for the Licensing Board include establishing a lower tier of GC for contractors such as minorities with weak finances, completing definitions of specialty and limited service contractors exemption status, processing the remainder of the applications and issuing licenses by July 1, 2008.
