KBE Building Corporation (KBE) recently received another opportunity to celebrate the completion of Safeway at University Town Center in Hyattsville, Maryland. KBE was recognized in the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Chesapeake Shores Chapter’s annual Excellence in Construction awards program with a Merit Award in the Commercial – $10 – $25 Million category.
