Getting on the builder's back
Трудно без контекста, но если это для журналистов, которые вставляют пистоны нерадивым - то вот так

Uncovering Our REal Contractor(s)
I read the title as a certain amount of hype and hyperbole. In the US, the person or organization who does the building is commonly called a Contractor.
To me the contest is trying to find the Real Contractors, the best, the ones who know what they are doing.
Hence:
Uncovering our Real Contractor(s)
or
Contruction: Finding the real deal!
something like that.

Whistleblower of the Year / The Best Whistleblower
"whistleblower" - помню это слово в связи со скандалом вокруг Энрона. Все вскрылось благодаря одной whistleblower, которая, если не ошибаюсь в этой же компании работала, и объявила тревогу.
