What does a Monday look like for the founder of Citadel?

Emails. Meetings. Project updates. Calls. Coffee. More meetings. More decisions.

We mic’d up our founder and followed him throughout the day to give you a real look at what goes on behind the scenes at Citadel from the first email of the morning to the last task of the day.

BehindTheScenes Construction Development

Developing raw land is relatively straightforward since you aren’t dodging existing obstacles like old concrete, buildings, or active utility lines.

But a parking lot carve-out? That’s where the real strategy comes in\!

To pull it off, you have to navigate:

1. Demo permits and safety fencing
2. Surveys and precise saw cuts
3. Strict city working hours and quiet times
4. Complete step-by-step coordination with local officials

It makes the project significantly harder, but we love the challenge. Leave a comment if you’re ready to tackle your next big project\!

Every phase owned. Nothing left unmanaged. We are your ONE PARTNER from address to operations.

That is the CITADEL guarantee. Handling every phase, due diligence, design, permitting, demo, concrete pour, full buildout, and final walkthrough.

One team accountable from address to operations.

The site was a former parking lot with existing flex base. Soil plasticity index required us to go 24 inches below the subgrade, bring in engineered select fill, then dig out the footings and grade beams before a single yard was placed. First pour went in and we left the rebar exposed.

That’s called a cold joint. Two sections of concrete poured at different times that can shift independently when the ground moves, the surface moves with it instead of cracking against it. Less cracking. Fewer chips. Longer lifespan.

None of that happens without the right process, the right engineering and design, and the right people on the ground executing it.

Our team made sure all three were in place before the first truck ever rolled.

Not everyone does it this way. At CITADEL we do. And our team is the reason why.

Did you know concrete foundations were poured in stages like this? Drop it below.

We hit the team with fresh CITADEL gear and let them react on camera. Some said yes immediately. Some had thoughts. You’ll have to watch to find out who was who.

Drop a comment if you would have said yes or no to the hat.

Our team started with all the due diligence, locked in the site, then took it through architectural, structural, Civil and MEP design to get here.

What you see is the result of all that work before a shovel ever hits the ground.

758 cubic yards out. 650 poured back. Site prep on a commercial pour starts long before the trucks show up. Design contours, green space requirements, standby engineer, all locked in before a single shovel hits the ground.

Not every hero wears a cape. Some wear PPE.

The work you do not see every day. While most people go about their morning this team is already on site, container coming down, hands on every inch of it until it lands exactly right.

Just another day for the CITADEL crew.

Smalls Sliders. Midwest City, Oklahoma.
