Coming together

Slumpstone taking its place. An old and often underutilized block unit but seeing its potential in this great design.

This type of work may cause hair loss. sorry Brett

a pool is an altogether different thing before it becomes a pool.

< Back to Portfolio

This collection of images includes the not so glamorous aspects of construction. Projects run back to back at a quick pace and often blend and fade to some degree from our memory but what remains are the experiences, for better or for worse, that shape us. Here we recognize the daily grind, the minutia, the ridiculousness, the profound, the victories, and the always meaningful subtleties of our long days in & out of the Field. Here we recognize the process. Here are people and raw materials on their journey, taking their place, becoming form.

Pictures are added often representing what is happening on our projects and in our lives right now.
