October is Careers in Construction Month, and we can't think of a better story to share than Kollin Thibodeaux's. 🏗️

Two years ago, Kollin joined Ratcliff as a part-time laborer. Today, he's stepping into a full-time role as a Project Engineer! His hard work, drive to learn, and dedication on every jobsite made this possible, and we're proud to have grown alongside him.

Congratulations, Kollin! 🎉

Squirrel Day is a tradition we look forward to every year! 🐿️

Around the opening of squirrel season in Louisiana, the women of Ratcliff head out of the office for a jobsite visit and lunch together. This year, our Baton Rouge group visited McKinley, and our Alexandria group visited Summit Nursing Home.

We love getting to see the progress on our projects and catch up with each other over lunch. Thanks to our jobsite teams for showing us around!

As Ratcliff reaches 100 years, we’re looking back at some of the stories that helped shape who we are.

Construction on Neville High School began in 1930, just as the Great Depression was placing enormous strain on communities across the country. When the City of Monroe could not pay the remaining balance, Ratcliff accepted a promise that it would be paid when the city was able.

As we look ahead to Ratcliff’s 100th anniversary, we’ll be sharing more of the people, projects and moments that shaped our story. This is just the beginning of 100 Years, 100 Stories.

This is 100 Years, 100 Stories.

Ratcliff is proud to be part of a project that will make a meaningful difference for veterans across Southeast Louisiana.

The new $78 million residential healthcare facility planned for New Orleans East will provide approximately 60 beds and dedicated spaces for behavioral health services, substance use treatment, counseling, recreation, fitness and transitional care.

This project is about much more than constructing a building. It is about creating a place where veterans can focus on their health, recovery and future with the care and support they deserve.
