#FoundationalFriday: Be a Straight Shooter Clear, honest communication isn’t just the "right" thing to do–it's good business. Avoiding a tough conversation now doesn't fix the problem; it only makes it worse later. Shooting straight is: ??? Clear, not clever. Say what needs to be said, plainly and respectfully. ?? Uncomfortable (and that's ok.) ? Solution-focused. Don’t just point out problems; help solve them. #construction #infrastructure #innovation #foundationalfriday #culture

#FoundationalFriday: Practice Active Listening Ever had someone interrupt your question with some half-baked, boilerplate answer? It's unhelpful, insulting, and sends a message that they don't know what they're talking about. The common denominator? The erosion of trust. Active listening is more than waiting to speak—it’s an opportunity to show respect, gain understanding, and solve problems quickly. Ways to practice active listening: ?? Seek to understand before being understood. ??♂? Ask follow-up questions: get to the real "why." ??? Focus–be present in the conversation. #construction #customerservice #activelistening

We’re here to make things easier. Often, that means jumping in the truck with that one part you didn't know you needed, giving advice on design plans, or heading to the job site to answer questions. There when you need us: that’s our "full-service" commitment to every partner.

#FoundationalFriday: Exemplify Southern Hospitality Kindness. Helpfulness. The Golden Rule. "Y'all". We take pride in our roots, and practicing Southern hospitality is as foundational as it gets. In every interaction, from a phone call to an email, the tone you set speaks volumes. Treating others with kindness, respect, and generosity isn't a sales tactic, it's who we are. What are some ways you exhibit Southern hospitality with your employees or customers?

Don’t just show up. Show up ready. After all, what's the point of "helping" if you make things more difficult, take longer, or more confusing? Speed, reliability, and expertise; that's been our promise since 1986.
