Often, the menial tasks of the construction environment go unnoticed or unrewarded. Contractors tend to consider the major schedule stages and the completion of the project in general as the time to appreciate overall accomplishments. Yet, thriving company cultures are built on identifying the important in-between steps. In January, The Bartley Corporation demonstrated this value, declaring, “Shoutout to our amazing team for working hard through the snowiest and windiest of conditions.”

“We know our guys do quality work, but I find it most rewarding to see them attack the jobs that no one else would want,” states Jim Bartley, President of Bartley Corp. “We don’t get a lot of snow in Maryland, but when we get a storm like this, it can severely wreck our schedule. This photo showed the creativity of using everything at their disposal and all hands on deck to keep us running on schedule with safety and quality. We are very proud of the work Hector Linares and Francis Perdomo, both pictured, as well as Jorge Castillo on the crane, not in the picture, and Alex Alfaro-Yanes wielding the big shovel in the foreground.”
