The Auditorium is taking shape! Our team has wrapped up setting the bar joists and is now preparing for deck installation.

Good food, great people, and plenty of BBQ!
One of our favorite ways to show appreciation for our field teams and trade partners is to bring everyone together for a good meal. These lunches are a small way for us to say thank you for all the hard work that goes into keeping our projects moving forward.
Big shoutout to HardWood BBQ for always bringing the best BBQ and keeping our crews well-fed! We appreciate you!
Most importantly, THANK YOU to our field workers and trade partners. We couldn't do what we do without you!
