We received a great compliment from one of our subcontractors and we are very proud to share it here:  “I wanted to take a minute to say how much we appreciate our relationship with Steele Freeman. I am going through my aging [invoices] report and low and behold Steele & Freeman is the only GC not on my list and most importantly rarely do you ever have a single invoice onto that list. That says a lot about how you guys partner with your subs.

Also, your staff from the field team and management team to your administrative team are always great to work with.  You guys run a good site, handle your business professionally and best of all take – care of your subcontractor partners.

So Thank You.” #TeamTeamTeam

Our drone spotted Chief McCaskill meeting with Project Manager Reilly Freeman on site recently to discuss the new City of Midlothian Fire Station No. 1. We are collaborating with architect, Brinkley Sargent Wiginton on the project.

We hope your 2020 is off to a great start! Superintendent Luke sent in an update on his Town of Flower Mound Library expansion. This project adds to the north and south side of the existing building. We are going to share this in two posts. Here is what’s happening on the south addition: Structural steel is complete. Roof joist installation and stud framing continue and the building envelope installation is beginning.

Superintendent Jim reported demolition is complete on the existing shelter structure and paving demo is 95% complete with asphalt removal starting today. Moisture conditioning will begin next week. This is our first project with City of Grapevine. This facility was designed by Quorum Architects! We are also working on the Grapevine Golf Course Club House project which is currently in pre-construction.

We are happy to bring you this update on our Ennis Public Safety Facility!

On the outside of the building, metal studs and roof decking are nearing completion on the main building. Roofing and exterior waterproofing will begin within the next week. Project Manager Nathan would like to thank our subs, Rice Drywall, Structural Fabrications Inc, and DMG Masonry for their work to date.

Inside the building, metal ductwork is being installed by Travis Mechanical, electrical runs are being installed by Intex Electric and metal stud walls are being started by Rice Drywall. Roof drains and copper piping are being installed by Curl’s Plumbing. This 38,000 SF facility was designed by RBDR Architects.

Our City of Midlothian Fire Station No. 1 team gathered for the commemorative beam signing. This beam will be hoisted into place soon at the front of the museum portion of the station. It will house the City’s Model T fire vehicle.

Here is a photo of the Roanoke City Hall that we recently built. This beautiful building was designed by RGA Architects. It makes a fantastic backdrop to the Christmas tree!

General Superintendent Tim spotted Carpenter Vincent walking the job site to be sure the site is safe and that work meets quality standards. Being engaged and out on the site is one way that we look out for the safety of our team and the interests of our clients. Way to be vigilant, Vincent! #SacrificeEverythingForSafety #TeamTeamTeam

Today we are at The Hills Church West Campus celebrating their grand opening! We build for people. It is a very special day when the buildings we construct open to welcome the people we built it for. This beautiful church was designed by BOKA Powell. Special thank you to our client, The Hills Church for the opportunity to work with them again and for our dedicated and skilled subcontractor team. Great work by Superintendent Mauricio and our Project Managers Glenn and Boyd and the entire field team! #ThisIsWhyWeBuild #ItsNotAboutTheBuilding #ItsAboutPeople

Our project team had a very busy week last week. They took advantage of the dry weather and poured 890 yards of concrete which was brought in on 100 trucks over the course of 13 hours! Special thank you to our sub, Miller Sierra Contractors for their work on the concrete.

Superintendent Luke shared this photo and update of his Town of Flower Mound Library Expansion. Our team is currently waterproofing in preparation for the upcoming masonry work. We are proud to work in collaboration with Komatsu Architecture on this project!

We call this photo “Library at Sunrise.” Special thank you to Superintendent Luke for this beautiful early morning pic from our Town of Flower Mound Library Expansion project. This view is of the north addition looking east. This project was designed by Komatsu Architecture.

We are excited to announce that our groundbreaking event for June W. Davis Elementary School of Crowley ISD has won an award from SMPS Fort Worth. This event was a collaborative effort with Crowley ISD, the developer and VLK Architects, Inc.!

Congratulations to The City of Midlothian on their groundbreaking for their new Fire Station No. 1. Chief McCaskill gave a very meaningful speech to the audience. We have enjoyed our pre-construction collaboration and we are eager to start construction. Design by Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects.

The Can-Do Crew was out in force at the grand opening of our Roanoke City Hall project on Saturday. This extraordinary building was designed by RGA Architects and was a labor of love for every person that worked on it. The building is chock full of stunning custom finishes such as the mahogany wood panels, cast stone details, hand chiseled masonry corners, wrought iron stair rails, atrium skylight and clock tower. The City of Roanoke had high praises for our project team and RGA Architects. It was such an honor to lead the construction of this beautiful building.
