GUARANTEE AND INSPECTION SERVICE AWARD

The Guarantee and Inspection Service was instituted to give purchasers of architectural woodwork a level of expert oversight that would otherwise be unavailable to the lay-person.
Together with AWMAC Membership and the use of the Architectural Woodwork Standards as the specified reference, the GIS program gives our clients the assurance that there are universally accepted conventions for quality and techniques and that AWMAC shops can and will follow them. 
This Award is for the Member firm that had the largest number of deficiency free GIS inspections in the past year.
