No matter which way you slice it, a new building is an investment for your company. It’s an investment of funds, sure, but it’s also an investment of time—yours and your employees’. You’ll need to put time into moving and into working with your commercial construction partner to make sure your new space fits, and your employees will need to take the time to familiarize themselves with their new space and the new logistical procedures.

Eco-consciousness has grown as a main focus for businesses across a variety of industries, even those that don’t directly serve customers. While retail stores and the like may reap the customer-boosting benefits their ethical behavior brings, even agricultural systems operations and other commercial constructions can feel good about lending the environment a hand.

For residential and commercial buildings alike, roofing is often the icing on the cake in more ways than one. The right roofing material completes a building or house’s style, driving home the brand message or type of aesthetic appeal the client or homeowner wants to send with it. It also is a big part of a solid building envelope, which keeps anyone inside the structure safe from wind, rain, snow, and hail.

Fall is here! If you’re like many Midwesterners, you’re busy soaking up those now-pleasant sun rays and, perhaps, making time to go on a nice hike and enjoy those fall leaves.

As the leaves begin to fall and the oppressive heat of summer ceases, one thing becomes clear to farmers everywhere: it’s time for fall! While those working with crops can expect long hours preparing for harvest, many livestock activities tend to die down around this time of year. For example, the equine show season is usually finishing up around early September, and many species of farm animals—chickens and cattle, for example—tend to birth primarily in the spring or summer months, though farmers can, of course, artificially influence this.
