En esta época del año, estamos especialmente agradecidos por las muchas bendiciones que tenemos. Nos tomamos el tiempo para reflexionar sobre el año que nos pasó, y todos los éxitos y grandes logros que hemos tenido juntos como un equipo.

Esta Navidad, tómese un tiempo para descansar y estar plenamente presente con sus familias y seres queridos. Gracias por todo el año pasado. Prepárate para 2019 … hay grandes cosas por delante. En nombre mío y de mi familia, les deseo a usted y a su familia una muy feliz y feliz Navidad y un feliz año nuevo. Go RED!
The Challenge is ON!
Job site safety starts with simple check points that catch common hazards before they become serious problems.
How do you work safely every day? What simple checks do you perform when you pick up a power tool, climb a ladder or tie-off at heights?
Send us a short video about your easy safety checks. You can qualify to win up to $250 in prizes each week!
The Level UP for Safety Challenge runs now through January 13th. Learn more here!

Operation Santa Delivers Hope in Detroit
“These guys give me hope,” shared a neighbor in inner-city Detroit.
The sentiments of hope, gratitude and service took on real meaning as Division 810 dedicated a day to service in Detroit. The team assembled meals and care kits for the homeless living in and around the job sites the crews worked on most frequently.
Over the course of days, and sometimes weeks, the crews got to know the people living on the streets surrounding their job sites. Tim Redwood and Liz Schwendemann collaborated on a project to give back to these “neighbors.” The entire team received the even greater gift of gratitude in return.
Kudos on 2250 Hawkins

Project Executive Brian Ambrose shared kudos for the recent work on 2250 Hawkins. Here’s what he had to say, “Thanks to all of you on this email for all of your hard work and long hours this week with getting these two slab pours in. Please pass my thanks on to your crew members. It’s amazing what you all can accomplish when we finally have a good week of weather. Keep up the great work fellas.”
