  • I AM EXCITED BY giving people opportunities to achieve their goals, personally and professionally. This includes our employees’ growth and our clients’ growth as their business expands or is relocated. 
  • I’VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT comparison is a thief of joy. Cultivating relationships with other people, and especially women, in business to promote their success helps you get motivated to be a better version of yourself as well. 
  • OUR CLIENTS DO BUSINESS WITH US because we get in the trenches of their business with them so we fully understand their processes and workflows. This facilitates a better design, which allows them to function at a higher rate than before. Our clients trust us to take care of aspects that matter so much to their business. 
  • YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS the many different types of businesses we service. If you are a business or a homeowner, we service you and fully try to understand your operations. 
  • WE VALUE quality. “Quality Every Day, Not Everyday Quality” has been our slogan for 40 years and will continue to be our slogan. We expect the highest quality of character and performance from our employees and subcontractors for our clients. 
  • OUR SECRET SAUCE IS caring for each project as if we were the ones occupying the space in the end. 
  • I HOPE WOMEN WILL begin to take a harder look at the construction industry as an open door to wonderful opportunities for them. 
  • WE MAKE AN IMPACT BY giving back to the community that feeds us. We are licensed to build throughout the Southeast, but the majority of our work takes place in the River Region. We care about giving back to those who need it and about improving the community spaces that the River Region needs.
