We're nearing completion of Lycée Français de la Nouvelle Orléans's 47,000 SF renovation and addition with our architect partners Eskew Dumez Ripple. After being neglected and vacant for over 20 years, the historic Alfred C. Priestly School Building will serve New Orleans again, but now as a new tuition-free charter school.

We’re proud to announce our world-class safety practices were awarded STEP Diamond by ABC National for our commitment to total human health on our jobsites.

The way we design and build healthcare facilities has increasingly changed over the last decade through evidence-based design, and this shift has only accelerated in our post-pandemic world. In a recent report, a Task Force from the American College of Health Architects (ACHA) sought to address this rapid change, broadening its focus on health over a wide range of building types to better understand how hospitals can better treat the “whole” person.

We're now seven months into our new construction project for Poydras Home with our architect partners Eskew Dumez Ripple eagerly looking forward to their beam signing event next week. When completed, this 60,000 SF addition will be the first in the state to follow The GREEN HOUSE Project model of care - destigmatizing aging and providing non-institutional #eldercare. Here's a look at our progress. Stay tuned for more updates!

The last two years have brought a great deal of disruption to the construction industry at a time when we’re already seeing great change and innovation. Further investment in technology such as BIM, AR/VR, and modularization are met by volatile material costs and supply chain issues resulting in schedule challenges. Disruption, however, can often bring meaningful change. And from our perspective, the increase demand for coordination among owner, design team, and contractor early in the process has made our approach to construction delivery on all projects even more critical to their success.

Our communities are becoming more resilient, and as such, we’re responding to natural disasters with smarter operations, and increased resources. As a regional leader in disaster recovery, our approach is different. And it starts with empathy.
