22 Sep BIA San Diego Honors T&B Planning’s Emilie Colwell

We’re proud to share that Emilie Colwell, Senior Project Manager at T&B Planning, has been named Consultant of the Year at the 2025 Building Industry Association (BIA) of San Diego ICON Awards—her second time earning this prestigious recognition.

Hosted annually by the BIA of San Diego, the ICON Awards honor the people and projects shaping the future of homebuilding in the region. Emilie’s award is a meaningful acknowledgment of her leadership in the field and the trust she’s earned from clients and peers alike.

A seasoned planner, Emilie brings a deep understanding of due diligence, entitlements, and construction-ready permitting to every project. Her ability to navigate complex development timelines while maintaining steady communication and clear strategies has made her a key partner to our homebuilding clients across Southern California.

We are thrilled to celebrate Emilie’s recognition in both 2023 and 2025, a rare and well-deserved honor that reflects her consistent excellence and commitment to the industry.

Please join us in congratulating Emilie on this milestone. We also recognize the many talented finalists and winners celebrated during this year’s Viva Las Vegas-themed event—another great evening hosted by the BIA of San Diego.
