Happy Work-Site-Wednesday! Today, while the crew from Mandere Construction Inc, Rathdrum ID was framing the building, CR Concrete was busy pouring the slab on grade for the rebuild of Sety's Ace Hardware. After a fire destroyed the original building last year, the Sety family worked with Architects West. to preserve the historic charm of the site by retaining the iconic brick facade of the old Yale Hotel. We're excited to see this project come to life, with completion slated for Summer 2025. Stay tuned for more updates! #ComebuildwithUS #buildingenvironmentsforsuccess

Today is World Mental Health Day Mental health is just as important as physical health, especially in the construction industry. 1 in 5 construction workers report struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, but only a small percentage seek help due to stigma or lack of access to resources. It’s time to change that! Swipe through for 5 tips on how to take care of your mental health as a construction worker. Remember, taking care of yourself is the most important job you have. If you or someone you know needs support, don’t hesitate to reach out to NAMI Spokane for local mental health resources. Together, we can build a culture where mental health matters. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters
