Before any task starts, the crew plans it at the work face: what could hurt someone, what will prevent it, and who can stop the work. Anyone on our sites can stop work, including trade partners and visitors.

Building a school while it stays open
Four phases, two summers and no lost school days at Ridgeview High. What made it work.
Build something you can drive past in fifty years.
