It was an honor to stand with the Waukesha community at the Waukesha Parade Memorial at Grede Park Dedication Ceremony, remembering those impacted by this profound tragedy. Our connection to this community runs deep. For nearly 20 years, Waukesha has been our home, and like so many others, we were deeply affected by this event. We are privileged to have played a role in building this place of reflection and remembrance. The memorial is a powerful testament to resilience—a nearly 20-foot, six-sided heart, with each side honoring one of the six lives lost. Ribbons form the heart, connecting to surrounding benches, while a backdrop of clay tiles created by survivors and community members shares messages of hope and strength. We are profoundly grateful to the subcontractors who answered the call to action, joining us in providing in-kind services to bring this meaningful project to life. This was a time for reflection and a powerful demonstration of how collective effort can honor the past while building a brighter future.

We were honored to participate in Building Advantage’s Annual Construction Career Fair at Fiserv Forum! This event brought together 1,200 juniors and seniors from 48 schools to explore careers in the building trades through engaging, hands-on activities.  A big thank you to our team—Aaron Hanke, Carpenter Apprentice, and Cameron Cavette, Journeyman Carpenter—for leading students in a "build a crate" demonstration, allowing them to take home their finished projects.  Events like this highlight the value of union apprenticeships and the transformative opportunities in the building trades.
