There's nothing quite like a good cookout to bring people together!

We recently headed to Coralville to fire up the grill and show our appreciation for the hardworking crews bringing one of our biggest projects of the year to life.

It was a great opportunity to spend some time with the teams from Tyler Rogers Construction, DCI Group, and Beisser Lumber, sharing good food, conversation, and a well-deserved break from the workday.

This year, we decided to try something new at EBD: bringing a little appreciation directly to the people and businesses we work with. Whether it's at a lumber yard or out on a jobsite, we want the people behind these projects to know their hard work and partnership don't go unnoticed.

We're just getting started with these cookouts, but they've already been a rewarding experience, and we're looking forward to making them a bigger part of what we do next year!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day a success!

Big projects require big coordination, and this one is helping shape the skyline in Coralville!

At five stories and 297 residential units, this development is one of the largest wood-framed projects in Coralville, Iowa.

EBD is proud to be supplying the wall panels, floor trusses, and roof trusses that help bring a project of this scale to life.

With a structure this large, there's a lot more involved than simply producing components. From design and production to coordinating deliveries, every stage plays an important role in keeping a project of this size moving forward.

Projects like this are a great example of what's possible with wood-framed construction and the capabilities of the hardworking teams behind it.

We're proud to play a part in bringing another major development to the Corridor!

We were running a little short-handed this Halloween, so we brought in a skeleton crew! 💀🎃

We had a great time joining the community for this year's Trunk or Treat at the Washington YMCA!

It was a fun evening filled with costumes, candy, and plenty of smiles. We always enjoy opportunities to get out into the community and be part of events that bring local families together.

A big thank you to the YMCA and everyone who helped make the event possible. We're already looking forward to next year!

Another BCMC is in the books!

Zach and Larry represented EBD this year, spending time connecting with others from across the structural building components industry, sharing experiences, and bringing home new ideas and perspectives.

Zach also had the opportunity to speak about changes to building codes, specifically the evolving requirements surrounding snow loads—an especially important conversation for those of us designing and building here in Iowa.

That's one of the things that makes BCMC so valuable. It's an opportunity to learn from others, contribute what we've learned through our own experience, and stay involved in the conversations shaping the future of our industry.

We're proud to have Zach and Larry representing EBD and Iowa on a national stage, and we're looking forward to putting what they brought home to work.

BCMC starts today!

Each year, BCMC brings together people from across the structural building components industry to share ideas, learn from one another, and have conversations about where our industry is headed.

Over the years, members of EBD's leadership team have had opportunities to take the stage and share some of the experience and knowledge we've gained along the way. This year continues that tradition, with Zach speaking on the show floor at Booth 525 on Wednesday from 1:30–2:30 p.m.

But one of the best things about BCMC is that there's always more to learn, new people to meet, and new ideas to bring home.

Every year is a little different, and every year brings new possibilities.

We're excited to see what conversations get started, what ideas come back to Iowa, and what this year's BCMC has in store.

If you're at the show, be sure to stop by Booth 525 Wednesday afternoon and hear what Zach has to share!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

A good job pays the bills.

A great job becomes a career.

At EBD, we've built a team where people choose to stay. Many of our employees have been with us for 10, 20, and even 30 years—not because they have to, but because they've found a place where they're valued and can take pride in what they do.

Some have chosen to grow into new roles throughout the company. Others have spent decades mastering their craft in production. Both are equally important to who we are.

If you're looking for steady work, competitive pay, great benefits, and a team that values hard work, we're hiring in our Roof Truss, Floor Truss, Wall Panel, and Saw departments.

📍 230 HWY 1&92 Washington, IA

Come build something that matters.
