Community

Good Neighbor Policy

We believe in being "good neighbors." Following a site and project evaluation, we make the following suggestions to the owner regarding special attention for their community as well as the environment:

Safety of children – We secure and fence all our sites to discourage curious "minds" from walking through unfinished hardhat areas and experimenting with dangerous equipment.

Parent/community communication – For schools and other public projects, we create newsletters or press releases to keep parents, students and interested citizens informed about construction schedules.

Environmental issues – When needed, we walk the site to identify areas that need to be circumvented or treated with care.

Community Spirit


Broward County Homeless Assistance Center

In addition to contributions of time and money, we also build facilities at cost for non-profit and educational organizations. We built the Homeless Assistance Center in Broward County for no fee. We encouraged our subcontractors to contribute their time and talent and saved the Center an additional $1.5 million.


City Arts Factory

In addition, we renovated the second floor of the City Arts Factory building in Downtown Orlando including a theater and convention space consisting of a catering area, a donated Anheuser Busch lounge area and performing art and event space.

We believe there’s no better way to spend our money than to invest in today’s youth to help them become tomorrow’s leaders. Below are some of the scholarships we contribute to:
