Southwark Addition - 60,000 SF - Progress at 35 working days.

At the beginning of this year we renewed our focus on safety and quality, by setting goals, reviewing and improving processes, and implementing training throughout the year. Practice, preparation, and forming good habits are the key to achieving the best possible outcome. Last Thursday, one of our crew members had a medical emergency, and the rest of the crew performed life saving measures until EMS arrived. They did everything right that day and saved the life of one of their own. CPR and First Aid certifications were renewed just a couple of months ago, not just with the field staff, but with the whole company. We've completed 10 other training sessions since the start of the year as well. Extra training cost time, and it costs money, but what is the cost of not doing it? Through practice and preparation, they saved a life. #ConstructionManagement #ConstructionSafety

We love starting new projects! With permit in hand, we are moving on the 60,000 SF addition to Southwark Manufacturing in Caldwell. Survey, excavation of footings, forms, rebar reinforcement, concrete pour, and seepage bed installation are all underway. The metal building was delivered last week. Let's go! And bravo to the Superintendent for the high quality pictures he took to document progress and quality control. What you can't see are his comments describing the location with each picture. Nice work Steve & crew! #QualityConstruction #ConstructionDocumentation

Small complex project? No problem. We've added an elevator to 4 different existing buildings over the years. Take a look at this elevator that was added to the exterior of a great client's custom cabin in McCall. There wasn't access for trucks, only small equipment, so all the excavation and concrete was done by hand with small tools and wheelbarrows. Both the exterior and interior had to look like it wasn't an add on. How do you think it turned out?

Grace Assisted Living Community located in Fruitland, Idaho has recently opened and has studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom units. Full salon, theater, library, full commercial kitchen with wonderful chef, and beautiful stone fire places. Assisted units have patios with either fenced lawn or courtyard access so each resident room has outdoor access and natural light. Secure memory care is right next door to ease the next transition for families. #AssistedLiving #GeneralContractors #ConstructionManagers #CommunityConnections

The Edge @ State is finished! 75 apartment units and 11 Buildings near the foothills and The River Club in Boise. We would like to thank the Gardner Group and Idaho First Bank for teaming up with K2 to make this complex deal a reality for our client. Also, EV Studio for working as a design partner through construction. And last but not least, Willie Alderson for these fantastic photos he took of our project - the Edge @ State. #apartmentconstruction #commercialgeneralcontractors

We are starting design on Jackson Group Peterbilt's new facility in Ontario, Oregon! Yes, we are a licensed general contractor in Oregon CCB#64679, and this is one of our favorite types of projects - design-build precision engineered Butler building.

In an effort to continuously improve our quality and safety K2 has joined the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association and we are pursuing the AC478 Accreditation. This program is the most comprehensive quality assurance accreditation of its kind for metal building assembly. It is administered by the International Accreditation Service, a member of the International Code Council Family of Solutions which develops the IBC codes. K2 has been a Butler Builder since 1980, and this accreditation will go hand in hand with the AC472 Accreditation for metal building manufacturers that Butler has earned. #ConstructionSafety #ConstructionQuality

Perfect morning for a safety refresher. Safe work is more efficient, higher quality, and less expensive. Here are a few shots of our steel erection crew engaged in Aerial Lift Training. #constructionsafety #constructionmanagement #constructionwork #teams
