Even small home projects need to be well planned and executed. As we begin the Summer Season, please do not forget to Call Before You Dig (811). Its a free service where underground facility owners will mark their facilities on the ground surface. Construction involving any work that is twelve inches or more below the ground surface should involve damage prevention. Not only are there telecommunications, natural gas, electric and water facilities, but there are now multiple providers of those same services, all within a “common corridor.” Damages to underground facilities can lead to service interruptions and hazardous product release. In the long run, it can save time and money. Remember, to “Call Before You Dig.”

As we observe Construction Safety Week in our construction community, it’s truly an important time to reflect on the evolution of safety standards— from mere rules to fundamental principles that define our culture. As someone who has grown up in the construction industry, I've witnessed firsthand the transformation in how we approach safety. It’s deeply ingrained not just in what we do, but in who we are. At Mortenson, we take pride in our leadership role in fostering a safety culture that empowers every individual on every job site. We believe that everyone has a valuable voice and that we thrive when trust and openness spread throughout our ranks. It's about being willing to listen, learn, and voice new ideas, especially when they contribute to our zero-tolerance policy on compromising safety. Here are some straightforward ways each of us can contribute to sustaining a culture of safety, no matter our role: 🚧 Speak Up: Never hesitate to voice concerns or suggestions regarding safety. If something seems unsafe or if there’s a new method that could enhance safety, bring it forward. Your input is invaluable. 🚧 Stay Informed: Always be aware of the latest safety protocols and participate actively in safety training sessions. Knowledge is not only power—it's protection. 🚧 Look Out for Each Other: Safety is a team effort. Watch out for your teammates' well-being just as you would your own. If you see someone working in an unsafe manner, be proactive and offer a gentle reminder of safe practices. 🚧 Embrace Safety Gear: Always use the proper safety gear for your tasks. This is non-negotiable and a simple way to prevent many types of injuries. 🚧 Lead by Example: Whether you’re on the ground or in management, lead by example. Adhering strictly to safety practices encourages others to follow suit. 🚧 Foster an Open Environment: Encourage a workplace where safety discussions are an integral part of the daily routine, not just a checkbox on a to-do list. Safety isn’t just another responsibility—it's a cornerstone of our community at Mortenson. It’s everyone’s job, and by committing to it, we not only protect ourselves, but we also safeguard our fellow workers and contribute to the overall success of our projects. Together, let’s keep building a safer environment where everyone can perform at their best. Happy Safety Week, friends! #safetyfirstlast&always #dotherightthing #leadblualways

This is a prime example of the importance of a thorough preconstruction process. I preach to my team that the success of any project depends on meticulous planning during this phase. Our approach is designed with our customers’ best interests in mind. From detailed cost estimates to proactive risk management, we prioritize transparency and alignment with our clients’ vision and requirements. A well-executed preconstruction process helps anticipate and strategically mitigate challenges. Our design partner on this Second Presbyterian project shared: “Working only with a Letter of Intent from the church, Charles C. Brandt Construction has been very helpful in working with our Architect-Owner team to identify areas of potential cost savings prior to signing an Owner-Contractor agreement. They were able to identify a larger list of potential cost savings items than were necessary, but this allowed the church to choose only the items they were comfortable with. This was advantageous as it allowed the O-C agreement to be inclusive of these items, rather than negotiating them after the contract was signed.” By integrating essential insights from architects, engineers, and clients early on, we build a solid foundation that guides the entire project lifecycle, minimizing surprises and maximizing value. #CCBuilds #builtbyCCB #Preconstruction #ValueEngineering #BuildingSuccess

Innovation in the construction industry often faces challenges due to various constraints. Over the past 6-7 years, we've been challenged to explore different methods of prefabricated panelized construction. Our recent collaboration with RedBuilt, LLC on 5 projects this year has yielded significant results. In fact, last week, we successfully completed the framing scope in just 8 days from start to finish on one project. This efficiency allowed us to commence masonry work and MEP’s just a week after beginning the framing process. Furthermore, by utilizing a surface mounting approach for our electric panels, we've managed to advance our transformer schedule by at least 3-4 weeks. This achievement is a game-changer for any contractor familiar with the industry's timelines. Watch this 30-second overview of the process to witness the impact of this innovative construction process!
