Reputation speaks for itself.
A 65-year+ legacy of getting the job right. We're a big organization, but we keep the people-oriented values we began with three generations ago.
Going from something on paper to something built. That's the motivation.

Culture
An inverted pyramid
The most important job for people in leadership is to support their team: guidance, problem solving and all the resources needed for safe, efficient, exceptional work.
Many of our employees joined young and progressed through multiple roles to senior positions.
Field staff
Unionized crews
All our field staff are unionized, a practice that respects our history and our commitment to quality, training and safety. We count on their troubleshooting to keep projects on track in the most challenging conditions.
Health and safety
Everyone home safely
Our COR certification shows we are methodical and disciplined about safe workplaces: meticulous documentation, ongoing training by IHSA-qualified instructors, regular safety audits, and a Joint Health and Safety Committee that meets quarterly.
Quality control
A program for every job
Every project team follows a Quality Control Program specific to the job. Our Quality Assurance Manager monitors each team and reports directly to the COO.
