Inclusion in Construction Week Today, our theme is Celebrating Commitment. In the construction industry, relationships, like projects, are built over time, and so are small businesses. Staying focused, being determined, building a legacy, and pride in construction and what we do are just some of the passionate stories we want to celebrate. If you are a small business, we thank you for your commitment to providing opportunities to others as you grow and develop.

Congratualtions Rody Gonzalez and the whole A Plus Carpentry Team! Keep up the great work!
