About our Progress Reports

We know when you've got a project underway, you want to see progress. However, it might not always be feasible to drive out to the job site everyday. We have the solution. This section will be regularly updated with photos as we progress on various projects. We'll also let you know when something new or exciting comes across our desk. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and click around. Its our way of assuring our clients that we're working hard for you.

Another incredible Friday here in beautiful downtown Gray Maine .. this week has been really productive!  We had our bi-weekly project meeting with the Owner and Architect and specialty subs and consultants, and met one major milestone.  We finished the ‘off-site’ work in the adjacent roadway intersection of Libby Hill Road and Rt.26, we began roofing, including integral lead coated copper gutters, we are well underway on the interior, with roughin and spray foam in exterior walls……continuing siding and trim.  We also flew the cupola, building it on the ground for safety-sake.  Check out our progress pics for this week!

Progress for the end of July and to the third week in August has proven quite productive.  Onsite grading and base course paving; siding and trim began, and lots of headway on the interior roughin and framing.  The off-site road work is progressing well, with a due/completion date of August 27th….the buses roll and kids start school next week!  We are on our way and on schedule for the Mid-November Substantial Completion!  I love this part of the project!

The last two weeks in Maine have been hot and sticky .. NOT complaining mind you .. but in spite of that, construction in summer still has it’s benefits! Dry, humid, almost 100 degrees, no shade .. we’ve seen it all.  But in spite of all of that, our crews have hung tough and progress is outlined in the following pictures.  Enjoy seeing our progress .. we are on task and schedule!
