We are proud to have hosted our inaugural Girls in Real Life (G.I.R.L.) Construction Experience this past Saturday at our headquarters in Roanoke, Virginia. With the help of our trade partners, employee owners, and volunteers, we offered 34 immersive experiences for girls ages 5 to 18 to explore construction concepts with real-life applications.
As we push towards a more inclusive industry, it is important to show that anyone can find a passion in construction. Through events like G.I.R.L, we help kids and parents experience the variety of opportunities that make up our industry. #BranchGIRL
Did you know Construction is STEM?
Most people don’t make the connection, but during October we celebrate Careers in Construction Month and share stories, statistics, and bust myths about what it’s like to work in our industry. Follow us here and on our Instagram and TikTok pages to learn about all the opportunities and careers in construction. #CICM
We want to take a moment to recognize all the hard-working, skilled men and women on National Tradesmen Day. Thank you to all of our employee owners, trade partners, and clients, who have been dedicated to learning a skill to make sure our business and industry can keep innovating and moving forward!
The CEO of the Branch Group, Donald. D. Graul, was once again named as one of the Virginia 500: 2022 Power List by Virginia Business magazine. Under Don’s leadership, we have strengthened our employee-owned company by investing in a new headquarters and a new fabrication facility in Roanoke, Virginia. Additionally, we have built a new equipment facilities shop in Suffolk, expanded offices in Richmond and Chesapeake, and plan to continue that expansion in Northern Virginia and Raleigh, North Carolina, through the end of the year into 2023. Through a commitment to exceptional project delivery, dedication to creating strong teams, and building a more collaborative and inclusive culture between business units, Donald was able to steer the company to the largest share growth in the history of the company in 2022.
In honor of National Intern day, we want to take a moment to thank all our hard-working interns. Over the summer, they gain valuable hands-on experience by rotating into different career roles.
Being able to teach and watch the next generation follow their passion is something that we take pride in. Thank you to our interns for all that you have done this summer.
Our teams utilize technology like the Trimble X7. The 3D scanner sends vision-safe lasers to measure the building or jobsite. It then converts those measurements into a 3D model known as a Point Cloud which provides the design and construction team with a real-time as-built model of the site. Doing real-time scanning helps the team identify potential problems, verify existing conditions, and provide accurate plans and drawings to the owner after construction.
Quality Owners = Quality Work.

Being employee-owned is what differentiates us from our competition. Having a stake in the company means we all work together to build the best projects possible. Building your legacy helps us build ours.
Our Team Centered Planning (TCP) has been thoughtfully developed to maximize the value we add to our client's projects by ensuring enhanced project team communications, detailed scheduling, and work efficiencies while simultaneously eliminating wasteful practices that are all too often found within the industry.
Summer days and bridge replacements. Our @branchcivil team has been working hard on our US17/NC37 Bridge Replacement in Herford, NC.
Happy Independence Day! We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday.
It's easier to smile and have fun when you are a part of the best industry in the world. #BuildingLegacies

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
