Last week, we were honored to once again take part in the ABC Carolinas Chapter Lowcountry Build-A-SHED Competition, an incredible event that connects high school students with industry professionals to gain hands-on experience in construction. Partnering with Tidewater Building Group and the talented students from Lucy Beckham High School, our team put their skills to the test to mentor, coach, and help students build their talents in construction. Over the course of seven hours, teams raced against the clock to construct a 5x6 playhouse/shed, competing on structural completeness, safety, and technical precision. The hard work and dedication paid off—our team proudly secured 2nd place! A huge congratulations to James Island Charter High School, Miller Valentine, and KELLER for their first-place finish, and to all the schools, general contractors, and trade partners who made this event such a success. This event is more than just a competition, it's about shaping the future of the construction industry and inspiring the next generation of builders. #ReputationisEverything #ConstructionCareers #BuildaShedCompetition #CareerinConstruction

To celebrate Women in Construction Week in collaboration with the NAWIC Coastal Georgia #380 Chapter and AIA Savannah, our team was thrilled to host a jobsite tour of the iconic Manger Building in downtown Savannah, currently being transformed into the luxurious Recess Hotel & Club Savannah. ? Special thanks to LEFT LANE Hospitality for making this exclusive tour possible! Originally constructed in 1912 as Hotel Savannah, the building offers breathtaking 360° views of the city skyline. After its renaming in 1954 to the Manger Hotel and decades of evolution, it's now being thoughtfully restored to its roots — blending historic preservation with modern luxury. From structural upgrades to beautifully integrated guest amenities, this project tour was a true celebration of progress, craftsmanship, and the women leading the way in construction. #ReputationisEverything #WomeninConstruction #ConstructionCareers #HistoricRenovation #HistoricSavannah

Building a Sustainable Future with Mass Timber ????? We were proud to be part of the Savannah Mass Timber Hub Meeting, where industry leaders came together to discuss the economic and environmental benefits of mass timber construction. Hosted by the Georgia Forestry Foundation in partnership with the USDA Forest Service and the Softwood Lumber Board, this event was an incredible opportunity to highlight the role of sustainable building materials in shaping the future of the industry. As part of the program, our Savannah team and partners from LS3P presented a case study on Ann Street Lofts—one of Southeast Georgia's premier cross-laminated timber (CLT) projects. This discussion showcased how mass timber not only supports sustainability but also brings efficiency and aesthetic appeal to modern developments.

Last week, we celebrated a bridge built with purpose and the vision of our late founder, James Shepherd. We dedicated the James H. Shepherd Jr. Memorial Bridge—an essential connection between the existing hospital and the new Marcus Center for Advanced Rehabilitation. More than just a structure, this bridge represents the hope of Shepherd Center and James’ lasting message: “Shepherd Center is the bridge between ‘I can’t’ and ‘I can.’” This project was made possible by the incredible generosity of longtime donor and board member Suzanne Dansby, the full support of Shepherd’s medical staff, and contributions from our dedicated staff through the ShepherdCares employee giving campaign. Special thanks go to Pursuing Possible campaign co-chairs Justin Jones, Susan Hawkins, and John Carlos and our partners at Choate Construction Company, BDR Partners, and Rule Joy Trammell Rubio. Together, we build more than bridges—we rebuild lives.
