We asked our team what their biggest motivators are, and their answers said it all. ❤️

Because the work we do isn’t just about what we build. It’s about who we’re building it for.

🍺 National B**r Lovers Day is the perfect excuse to raise a glass!

We’re looking back at a project that showcases craftsmanship, history, and a great place to gather: the Springs Tap Room at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

FWC Tampa completed this renovation in 2023. Our team worked to preserve the character of the building while creating a refreshed, inviting environment for guests to enjoy.

From the details of the architecture to the craftsmanship behind the new bar, this project is a great example of how thoughtful construction can breathe new life into an existing space.

Stop by the Springs Tap Room at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, grab a cold drink, and take in its beautiful surroundings.

🚌✏️ School supplies are officially en route! 🎒📚

We just wrapped up our WISE Supplies School Supply Drive in support of the Pasco Education Foundation and of course, we couldn’t make a simple drop-off without having a little fun. 😂

Zach suited up as our very own school bus 🚌 while we loaded up all of the supplies collected and delivered them to help make sure Pasco County students and teachers have what they need for a successful school year.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated and helped us fill the box! We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up for our local schools. 💛

Here’s to a great school year, Pasco County Schools! ✏️🍎📓

A schedule isn't just a piece of paper—it's a commitment.

When leaders consistently follow the schedule, communicate clearly, and hold themselves accountable, everyone else is more likely to do the same. If you expect your subcontractors to respect the timeline, it starts with you setting the example.

Strong projects aren't built by chance. They're built by consistency, communication, and leadership.

At Friedrich Watkins, we believe leading by example is the foundation of every successful project.

📚 Ready for a new year of learning at the University of South Florida

As students return to campus this semester, they're being welcomed into a newly renovated second floor of the USF Library designed to support collaboration, learning, and academic success.

A new, flexible classroom for instruction and collaboration

An expanded tutoring space to better support students

Modernized offices for the Dean and university leadership

Updated finishes and thoughtfully designed spaces that create an inviting environment for students, faculty, and staff
