We are so happy to be able to share final photos from this project! Josh and his team did an amazing job on it and it looks beautiful. P.J. Hoerr, Inc. was excellent to work for and we are glad they trusted us as a partner on this project!

We got to take the family to the much anticipated soft opening of the newly renovated Peoria Park District Golf Learning Center & Academy for brunch today! The food was exceptional- the kids said it was the best waffle they’ve ever had. We got to play with the simulator and hit some balls outside.

This was such a fun project to be a part of and will be a great addition to the Peoria area!

We are so thrilled to announce that Foreman Josh Allen received the Better Built Central Illinois Craftsman Award last night!

Since his apprenticeship, Josh Allen has demonstrated a strong work ethic and desire to produce high quality work. He continually takes the initiative to increase his specialized knowledge. Due to his proficiency and ability to handle complex electrical installations, Josh is an exceptional asset and representative of Foster-Jacob, Inc. and IBEW Local 34. Often supervising multiple projects at a time, he can prioritize workload and achieve consistent results, all while coordinating with peers, customers and project managers.

Josh showed exemplary craftsmanship while serving as the lead electrician on the new Komatsu Office Building project. Josh successfully led a crew of 10 electricians who collectively completed approximately 11,000 labor hours over a 10-month period.

Throughout the project, Josh consistently paid close attention to detail, coordinated effectively with other trades, and maintained high quality standards from start to finish. Under his leadership, the project was completed on time and under budget, with an overall project value of $3,065,000. Josh’s commitment to excellence and accountability reflects the highest standards of union craftsmanship.

Although Josh had not previously led a project of this scale, he successfully stepped into the challenge. His prior experience was primarily on industrial projects, where they were not any easier, but very different on how you manage the project, making his leadership of a new 76,000-square-foot building a significant expansion of responsibility that he handled with confidence and skill.

Congrats Josh and we appreciate everything you do for Foster-Jacob!

All powered up! ⚡

We just finished the electrical renovation at the Peoria Park District Golf Learning Center — helping keep this local favorite shining bright for golfers all season long. ⛳

The Golf Learning Center was transformed into a TopGolf-like entertainment venue, with a new two-level, 21-bay TopTracer driving range, a full-service restaurant, and a golf simulator room, while also retaining its traditional driving range, putting greens, and 9-hole Skills Course.

Thank you to Project Foreman, Adam, and his crew for getting it done! Keep an eye out for their soft opening soon!
