Another one wrapped up. 👊

We recently completed the concrete scope for the new 60k sf Ben Parker Fabrication industrial building alongside J & J Contractors.

Our work included the building slab as well as the surrounding site concrete.

Solid project from start to finish.

Appreciate the J & J team for having us on this one! 🙏

If a customer wants us to sacrifice quality to hit an unrealistic schedule

We're probably not the right contractor.

We've walked away from work because of that.

Concrete is permanent.

People remember bad work a lot longer than they remember an aggressive schedule.

We've built Fulmer by saying yes to the right projects.

That also means being willing to say no to the wrong ones.

A 90k sf hotel means doing the same thing over and over.

And getting it right every single time.

We’re working on the new Courtyard Marriott here in Chattanooga, a 90k sf hotel with elevated concrete metal decks on every floor.

Each elevated deck requires its own planning, access, pump setup, placement, finishing, and coordination with everything happening below and around it.

The farther the building gets out of the ground, the less room there is for mistakes.

Proud of the progress our crews have made on this one.

Thank you to GCC Construction for bringing us on board! 🙏

Once you find good people, can you keep them?

We spend a lot more time thinking about retention than turnover.

We don't expect people to spend their careers living out of hotels.

We don't believe every weekend should belong to the job site.

Construction is demanding enough.

If someone gives us their best Monday through Friday,

we want them to have a life outside of work too.

Has that philosophy cost us projects?

Probably.

Has it helped us build long term teams?

Absolutely.

We don't just want people to come work here.

We want them to build a career here.

It's not the destination that counts.

It's the journey.

We’re working with on a 20k SF addition to an existing hangar here in the Chattanooga area.

The photos show pretty much the whole progression:

- Subgrade
- Stone
- V***r barrier
- Reinforcement
- Placement
- Finishing
- Final slab

On a slab this size, especially in a facility built around aircraft maintenance, the details matter.

Grades have to be right.

Drainage has to be right.

Slab flatness has to be right.

And once it’s poured, you don’t get many second chances.

That’s why we spend so much time on everything that happens before the concrete trucks ever show up.

We don't lose many employees.

That's something we're proud of.

Construction has enough companies asking people to work every Saturday.

Enough companies asking people to travel every week.

That's never been our model.

We want good people.

We want them here for a long time.

And we want them to make it home for dinner more often than not.

Turns out people stick around when you treat them like people.

We hired Caleb Smith in 2021 as a delivery driver.

Now the company can't survive without him.

At some point, Caleb started noticing all the things that needed to be handled between the office, the suppliers, the equipment, and the crews.

So he handled them.

Now he schedules equipment for every crew.

He manages material deliveries.

He keeps up with supplier pricing.

He looks into new materials and equipment.

He even creates formwork shop drawings for our wall system.

We never sat down and created this position.

Caleb basically created it himself.

And now we would be lost without him.

He has the kind of attitude every company wants and almost nobody can teach.

Honestly, our biggest problem with Caleb is getting him to take a vacation and turn his phone off. 🤣

We are very lucky to have him.

If your first question is: "How fast can you do it?"

We're probably going to disappoint you.

Our first question is: "How do we do it right?"

Those aren't always the same answer.

We've spent decades building a reputation in Chattanooga.

We're not giving that up to save a few days on a schedule.

Our name goes on every project.

That's enough pressure already.

This 50k sf dormitory was built for a private school here in Chattanooga that has trusted us with its concrete work for years.

That long standing relationship matters to us.

Repeat work is never something we take for granted.

It is earned through consistency, communication, and delivering the same level of quality from the first footing to the final slab.

We are proud of the progress our team made on this project and grateful to continue helping this campus grow.

Thank you J & J Contractors for bringing us on board! 👏

Being the biggest concrete contractor has never been our goal.

Being the first phone call has.

One thing we've noticed over the years is that when national GCs come into Chattanooga, they all ask the same question.

"Who's the concrete contractor we should be talking to?"

That question isn't answered by marketing.

It's answered by reputation.

We've been fortunate that many of those conversations lead to our phone ringing.

Not because we're the only contractor in town.

Because people trust what our name represents.
