Mock Plumbing wins award
Savannah-based Mock Plumbing and Mechanical Inc. was named outstanding subcontractor of 2012 by Turner Construction Co. for its role in the successful completion of Oglethorpe Charter School, a $21 million, 108,000-square-foot construction project.
Turner Construction, one of the largest general contractors in the nation, bases the annual award on key performance criteria such as safety, quality, project management, estimating and purchasing support.
W. H. “Billy” Mock, Jr., president, and Todd Rainwater, project manager, accepted the award during ceremonies held in Atlanta. Rainwater received special recognition for bringing the Oglethorpe project to a successful and timely completion.
“Turner Construction works with subcontractors all over the world, which means their benchmarks for outstanding performance are extremely high,” Mock said. “Under Todd Rainwater’s leadership and the expertise of mechanical superintendents Mike Smith and Chris Costley, Mock Plumbing delivered more than promised on this project, and that’s our goal on every job.”
