In a triumph that goes beyond bricks and mortar, we are thrilled to announce the prestigious Excellence in Construction Award bestowed upon our team for the construction of Penn State Health Children's Lancaster Pediatric Center, a state-of-the-art pediatric facility. This recognition is not just a testament to our construction prowess; it is a celebration of our collective dedication to building a brighter future for the youngest members of our community.

From the very beginning, our mission was clear—to create a haven of healing and hope for children facing medical challenges. The Excellence in Construction Award honors not only the architectural brilliance and structural integrity of this pediatric facility but also the compassion and vision that went into its creation. Every corner of Penn State Health Children's Lancaster Pediatric Center was designed and built with the well-being of young patients in mind, providing a nurturing environment that supports both physical and emotional healing.

Receiving this esteemed award motivates us to continue pushing boundaries in construction, with a commitment to excellence that extends far beyond industry standards. As we stand on the podium of achievement, we are reminded that our work is not just about constructing buildings; it's about constructing a future filled with hope, resilience, and building better communities, together.

In early October, we got to take the afternoon off to spend time together at the Lancaster County Park. With our spouses, kids and teammates we had a great day filled with delicious food and fun games!

Landis Place on King is an innovative project in the heart of Lancaster City. It is a mixed-use building with 79 apartments, 41 interior parking spaces, and commercial space.

Out of the office and onto the carousel! With ice cream, roller coasters and laughs, we had a blast bonding with our coworkers at Hershey Park in July.

There is nothing like spending an afternoon eating ice cream and racing go-karts around the office building! In June, we celebrated our team's hard work with Coworker Appreciation Day. With beautiful weather and delicious food, this Mario Kart themed event was a great way to get out of the office and spend time together.
