Today, we unveiled "Convergence" at Montcalm Community College.

The sculpture was gifted to MCC during their Welcome Week and one we were proud to help bring to life alongside our project partners, Progressive Companies and Mathison I Mathison Architects.

A sculpture wasn't on the punch list. But we're grateful for the partnerships that made this project what it is, and we felt like it needed a physical representation of what we and the project partners felt. Art gives a community something to gather around, point to, and pass down. It turns a place people study into a place people belong.

Created by Suzanne Knecht of Zan Knecht Sculptures, "Convergence" represents where people, opportunity, and community come together which all shape the students' journey at Montcalm Community College. It's a fitting message for a project that took so many people working together to make happen.

MCC President Bradley Barrick and Taylor Logan welcomed us onto campus. Matthew Schulte of Mathison Mathison Architects spoke to the intentionality behind the design and its tie to MCC's student housing project. And our own Brent Gibson shared the vision behind the gift.

Special thanks to all that were a part of making this happen today!

BLDI’s new Holland office is complete! 🎉

The existing building was fully renovated to create a bright, modern workplace with private offices, collaborative areas, and plenty of BLDI’s signature orange throughout.

As Construction Manager, we led the project from design through construction, working closely with BLDI and Waséyabek to make sure the finished space reflected the team’s vision and supported how they work.

We’re proud to share the finished result and grateful to BLDI, Inc. and Waséyabek for the partnership.

Great people change what’s possible for a company.

We’re always looking for strong leaders in our industry. People who know they’re capable of more and are ready for a wider path forward.

This isn’t only a conversation about a job. It’s a conversation about where you want to go and whether Construction Simplified could help you get there.

Right now, we have three seats we’re looking to add:

Director of Strategic Growth — Building relationships, shaping strategy, and helping drive where Construction Simplified goes next. https://bit.ly/4hWoQzt

Project Manager — Leading projects and people, with a path toward much more. https://bit.ly/4xlcBkF

Site Manager — Leading from the field, with responsibility well beyond a traditional superintendent role. https://bit.ly/4zKCPiu

If any of that sounds like you, or someone you know, let’s talk.

In addition to being named one of Crain's Grand Rapids Business’ 2026 Best Places to Work in West Michigan, Construction Simplified has also been recognized by Crain's Detroit Business as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Michigan.

To be recognized by both Crain’s Grand Rapids Business and Crain’s Detroit Business makes this especially meaningful. While the two awards represent different markets, they recognize something that matters deeply to us: the experience we’re creating for the people who make Construction Simplified what it is.

We’re proud of the culture we continue to build together and grateful for the team behind it.

At most companies, Site Manager is where your career levels off. You run the site, you do it well, and that's the job forever.

At Construction Simplified, it's the opposite. It's where your career actually starts moving.

Our Site Managers carry real project management responsibility right alongside field leadership. You're not just executing the schedule, you're helping build it. You're not sitting outside the OAC meeting, you're co-leading it with your PM. You're catching changes early and driving RFIs to resolution instead of waiting for someone else to flag them.

That's by design. We built the role this way because we're looking for people whose careers can grow alongside ours, and that kind of growth doesn't happen by staying in your lane.

This is a role for someone who wants more than a title, and is ready to earn what comes next.

Creating an environment where our team has opportunities to grow, contribute, and make an impact is an important part of who we are. That culture carries into the way we work together, solve problems, serve our clients, and continue growing as a company.

We’re incredibly proud of our team and grateful for everything each person brings to Construction Simplified. This recognition is a reflection of what we’ve built together and the culture we continue to strengthen every day.

The Rise of Abode was never meant to be a traditional groundbreaking.

With precast already going up behind us, we had the opportunity to celebrate Abode West Fulton in a way that reflected where the project is today: taking shape, rising above West Fulton, and becoming part of the neighborhood.

Getting to this point has taken years of planning, problem-solving, and collaboration from a lot of people. We're grateful for the partners who have helped move the vision forward and for everyone who joined us to celebrate what's ahead.

A special thank you to the partners helping bring Abode West Fulton to life: City of Grand Rapids Economic Development, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Mercantile Bank, Miller Johnson Growth Advisors, SVB + Reckley Architects, Moore + Bruggink, MVH Engineering, and E3M Solutions LLC.

Superintendents run a jobsite. Site Managers ask, "What would an owner do here?" And that's how they lead every decision.

That means taking full responsibility for decisions, dollars, and outcomes, not just the tasks on your list. It means collaborating before you're asked to, not waiting for direction. It means solving hard problems creatively instead of escalating them and moving on.

Titles don't define your impact here. Your ownership mindset does.

That's part of why we renamed the role. Site Manager isn't a bigger superintendent. It's a different job, built on a simple belief: the people closest to the work should have real authority over how it gets done.

You help build the master schedule, co-lead OAC meetings, and run change management alongside your PM — not because someone handed you extra tasks, but because we hire people who already lead like this, and we built the role to match.

If you already ask yourself what an owner would do, we want you leading like one too.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Rise of Abode West Fulton.

It was great to see so many partners, community members, and supporters come together to watch watch the precast structure being set. Moments like these remind us that every project is an opportunity to bring people together around a shared vision.

We appreciate you celebrating this special milestone with us! 🥂

Most superintendent roles stop at the fence line. Run the site. Keep it safe, on schedule, on spec. Office and field stay two separate worlds, and most places just accept the tension that comes with that.

At Construction Simplified, we don't.

We see real value in blending field and office, and we're better because of it. Marketing and HR show up on the jobsite. Site Managers show up in the office. Our Site Managers even carry KPIs tied to marketing because the story each project tells and the experience an owner has with our brand, is part of the job. Not a favor to another department.

That collaboration isn't a nice-to-have. It's why owners trust us, and how we keep everyone rowing in the same direction.

If you're looking for field work and nothing else, this isn't your role. But if you want a hand in shaping a growing company through collaborating across departments and being seen as a leader beyond the jobsite, this is it.
