Balmer Brothers Concrete Works, Inc. of Akron, Pennsylvania was voted the winner of the 2000 Basement of the Year (Basement from Hell) Award. Over 160 votes were cast between Tuesday and Thursday in the CFA booth at the World of Concrete and their 29,000 square foot basement was the odds-on (this is Las Vegas) favorite. The project was complex as well as mammoth.

Second place went to Formco Foundations in West Jordan, Utah.

The third place winner was Loucks Concrete Specialists, Inc. in LaPorte, Indiana.

Descriptions of the winning basement can be found here. Additional information on these as well as the other 5 submittals were presented in the Spring '01 newsletter. The formal presentation will be made at the summer meeting on Friday, July 27th at the Sheraton Falls View in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
