Protecting people from burnout starts before anyone feels the warning signs. Allen Martin and Will Southerland of our Safety team are heading to Dallas to share how heat strain, workload, and individual factors shape worker risk, and how real-time data can become leading indicators for earlier intervention.

Catch their seminar Tuesday, October 27, at 3:30 p.m. at the Advancing Data Center EHS Construction Event, and be sure to say hello.

When every employee is an owner, the standard goes up for everyone.

For Edward Infante, Safety Director in Nashville, being an employee-owner shapes how he leads his team and shows up on our jobsites every day. As a 100% employee-owned company, we see that same mindset across every Choate office and project.

We're celebrating ESOP Month by sharing what ownership means to the people who make Choate what it is!

A major milestone is in the books as we topped out the future home of nursing education at the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

This seven-story building brings education, research, and collaboration spaces together under one roof. It will feature simulation spaces, laboratories, classrooms, tiered plazas, open courtyards, and floor-to-ceiling windows that connect indoor and outdoor spaces.

We can't wait to see this one come to life and the impact it will have on the next generation of nurses at UNC School of Nursing. Congratulations to the team on achieving this milestone! 🩺

Our team laced up for the 2026 Greater Nashville Heart Walk at the end of September, joining thousands of walkers from across Middle Tennessee to honor survivors and remember loved ones.

Together we raised nearly $36,000 for the American Heart Association, part of more than $1.5 million raised across the event. Every dollar supports heart disease and stroke research, lifesaving CPR education, and families affected by cardiovascular disease.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, and cheered us on. ❤️

This past Saturday was an incredible day of community, connection, and celebration at BuildStrong in Charlotte, NC!

BuildStrong is a family-focused festival for Autism benefiting the Autism Strong Foundation and its work to provide support, hope, and financial assistance to local individuals and families touched by autism. From sensory-friendly experiences and family activities to food, music, and construction equipment for the kids to see up close, this event brings our community together for a meaningful cause.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support, volunteered their time, sponsored and donated, and helped make this year such a success. Your generosity is creating a lasting impact for families all over our community!

Riverstone Logistics' new headquarters at The Thread is officially open, and we're proud to have helped bring it to life.

This 40,000-SF upfit adds a new chapter to one of Rock Hill's most iconic historic landmarks. Through close collaboration with the entire project team, the work kept moving seamlessly while preserving the character that makes The Thread so unique.

From keeping the original brick exposed and restoring overhead coiling doors to polishing 80-year-old concrete floors and preserving original elevator controls, signage, and chains, every detail was meticulously planned to reflect the building's rich history while creating a modern workplace for Riverstone Logistics.

Thank you to Riverstone Logistics for trusting us with your new home – a home that embraces and supports your tenacious culture – and thank you to every project-partner who helped make it happen.

A building under construction makes a great classroom for the people who may one day respond to it.

The Franklin Fire Department recently brought four District #1 crews to Westhaven Astor Club & Residences for hands-on high-rise training. Ladder #8, Engine #1, Tower #1, and Ladder #4 worked through standpipe operations, high-rise pack deployment, interior search, and fire attack simulations in a real multi-story setting.

Training in a live environment helps crews coordinate across units and sharpen the tactics they'll count on as Franklin continues to grow. Partnerships like this one make our whole community safer.

To the men and women of the Franklin Fire Department: thank you for your service and for the preparation you put in long before the call comes.

Last week, our team gathered at the Greenheck Group's newest manufacturing campus in Knoxville to recognize our industry partners who are bringing this vision to life.

Projects of this scale are built on strong partnerships, and we're grateful to everyone who has a hand in making this an overwhelming success. We're excited for what lies ahead!

We also had the opportunity to present the Greenheck team with a custom Tennessee sign for their future office, commemorating an exciting new chapter for the company and its commitment to the local community.

Thank you to every trade partner, team member, and project stakeholder whose grit, commitment, and teamwork are making it happen.
