Welcome back to our (slightly overdue) quarterly newsletter—covering the first and second quarters of 2025, plus a quick look back at the end of 2024!
The first half of the year has been a whirlwind, with exciting projects keeping us busy across Ohio and into Indiana. We’re thrilled to share what we’ve been up to—serving our awesome clients through amazing builds in various stages of construction, great moments with our team, and meaningful community highlights.
Thanks for your patience as we catch up and refresh the look of this newsletter. We hope you enjoy reading these updates as much as we enjoy putting them together for you! See you soon(er) for a Q3 update – promise!
Let’s build together,
Julie Brandle, President
