Excellence in Masonry Awards Recap
On Friday, April 24, 2026, the Arizona Masonry Council hosted the annual Excellence in Masonry Awards at the Arizona Biltmore, bringing together more than 300 attendees for an evening filled with energy, excitement, and industry pride.
The night celebrated the strength, beauty, and craftsmanship of masonry while honoring the teams, projects, and people who continue to raise the standard across Arizona’s built environment. From the project awards to the Bart Del Duca recognition, the evening served as a powerful reminder of the talent, dedication, and legacy within the masonry industry.
A special thank you goes out to our MC, Jeanine Jerkovic, City of Surprise Economic Development Director, who brought the room to life with her humor, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. We also want to thank our head juror, Laura, for helping share the story behind each winning project and highlighting the thoughtful details that made them stand out.
The evening would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors, volunteers, attendees, and industry partners. From the silent auction to the wine and whiskey grab, the reception, dinner, awards, and celebration, every piece came together because of the people who continue to show up for masonry.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and honorees. The 2026 Excellence in Masonry Awards was more than a celebration of completed projects — it was a celebration of the people, partnerships, and craftsmanship that continue to build Arizona with purpose.
