Safety
A Core Value
Safety starts here — and follows us home.
Safety is at the core of every decision we make. It’s woven into every phase of a project and doesn’t stop at the jobsite. Whether it’s on or off the clock, we emphasize a culture where safety is taught, practiced and lived. By equipping our people with the training and tools they need, we help every team member get the job done and get home safe.
Live Safer isn’t just a goal — it’s who we are. Safety lives deeply in each of us. It is about people and relationships, not just numbers and statistics. We empower everyone — employees, clients, subcontractors and families — to build a safer future together.

Safety Matters Because People Matter
Safety goes where we go: conference rooms, the field, home and beyond.
Safety means more than wearing the right gear — it’s about creating a culture that supports and protects our teams, clients and partners. Every decision in the project spectrum is grounded in safety. It informs design plans, engagement and feedback from our front-line supervisors, craft and subcontractors and every step of our project execution. True safety covers every aspect of our lives — physical, mental and emotional. We speak up, look out for one another and bring those habits home.
A strong safety culture starts with personal commitment.
We don’t confine safety to a checklist. We embed it in every conversation, drawing and action. That’s why every employee-owner takes part in our Live Safer orientation. This three-hour experience is designed to help each person connect with safety on a personal level. The aim is to make safety second nature in our choices and actions, no matter the job description.
