Last month our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing division, @gjhopkinslacy had a completely incident-free month across all of their jobs sites. Thank you to our employee owners for keeping safety a top priority! #buildinglegacies
Fun fact: this school was named after the North Star because its programs will help students navigate through their academic careers and give them a beacon of hope! #BuildingLegacies
Project: The North Star School
Architect: Stantec
This week is National Safety Week in the construction industry! We wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of our hardworking employee owners who make safety a TOP priority.
While operating safe daily is our priority, it is also essential to be safe outside the work zone. More accidents happen during the summer than at any other time of year. Remember, there's always time for safety! #BuildingLegacies
Construction isn't always the easiest job, that's why we focus on finding people who love what they do. The day-to-day can seem boring and unfulfilling when you work a job you don't like. #BuildingLegacies
This quality piping from our @gjhopkinslacy team will be part of the project not many people see but will keep the high school functioning! #BuildingLegacies
One part of our work we are especially proud of is our educational projects. Being able to build something that will impact and educate future generations is one of the reasons we love these projects so much! #BuildingLegacies
Project: Virginia Western Community College, 2019
Architect: SFCS
It's always a good feeling when you finish up a project! This central energy plant went from an empty room to being full of chillers and pipes. #BuildingLegacies
Progress is starting to pick up at our @BranchBuilds Carilion hospital expansion. The project has come a long way from a hole in the ground to the current structure, which includes the underground parking garage! #BuildingLegacies
Our Branch Civil team has been working hard on the NC 540 project which will help improve traffic flow for residents and travelers in the fast-growing Raleigh, NC area.
Our Washington and Lee High School project is moving toward the final stages! This brand new high school in Montross, VA, is over 141,000sf and sits on approximately 36 acres. #BuildingLegacies
Learning is part of the process to a successful career. Our employee owners take pride in teaching the next generation about their job. Quality work stems from experience and passion, and our employee owners have both. #BuildingLegacies
With a busy, fast-paced jobsite, it's important to keep safety a top priority. We can proudly say that this I-95 project was incident-free last month with over 21,000 hours worked! #BuildingLegacies
Great people, great relationships, great projects. There's a reason we are known as the premier contractor of the Mid Atlantic. It starts with our employee owners and is shown through successful projects and happy owners! #BuildingLegacies
Why do we love our prefabrication shop so much? Every piece of prefab work touches our employee owners' hands before leaving the building, which can help us ensure we have the best product for the job! #BuildingLegacies
How often do you think about what makes a building function? While this might look very small scale, it's a crucial part of a way bigger project! #BuildingLegacies
Women In Construction Week is important because it raises awareness for the women in the industry. Construction doesn't target a specific gender, rather anyone who has a passion for the industry. With a variety of jobs and opportunities for growth, construction is something that anyone can be a part of! #WomeninConstructionWeek #BuildingLegacies
Looking back a couple of months to when we were in full swing on our I-81 Auxillary lanes project. Thanks to our awesome project team, who reached substantial completion over one month early. #BuildingLegacies
By having our own fabrication shop, we can ensure the quality of our work. Our employee owners touch and inspect each piece of duct before it gets sent out. #BuildingLegacies
While we work in many different markets, there's a reason we are known as a trusted source for schools. This in-progress photo is a new build that consists of a two-story 141,000 sqft school for Westmoreland County. #BuildingLegacies
