The General Contractors Association of Ottawa (GCAO) has awarded its 2024 Integrity and Ethics Award to Jerzy Jurewicz, a senior project architect and vice-president at Edward J. Cuhaci and Associates Architects.

A crowd of contractors, suppliers and association leaders gathered at the Rideau Club last Wednesday (May 29) at the associationโ€™s annual cocktail party to network and see the awards presentation.

Jurewicz received the โ€œmeritorious award honouring consistently high standards of integrity and ethics in the construction industry,โ€ capping his accomplishments since he joined the firm in 1990.

He has been involved in the design and construction of several high-projects including Algonquin Collegeโ€™s Centre for Construction Excellence.

In his acceptance speech,ย  Jurewicz described his early years โ€“ working as in the masonry trade in Poland before acquiring his Master of Architecture and Urban Design degree at the Technical University of Warsaw.

โ€œI love the design and construction process, where architectural vision is being tested and brought to life,โ€ he said.โ€

โ€œOur collective team efforts including owners, architects, engineers and constructors, has resulted in such incredible results, and it is a great achievement of each individual team member.โ€

โ€œI see this (award) as a celebration of everyoneโ€™s contribution,โ€ he said.

Jurewicz made special mention of his wife, Zofia, who is also an architect and is president of the Cuhaci practice.
