Putting education into action. 👷♂️👷♀️🏗️   We welcomed students participating in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) CI - Construction Institute Student Days program to Barney Allis Plaza in downtown Kansas City.   Using the project as the basis for this year's Student Days team challenge project, students were tasked with developing and presenting a real-world construction proposal while considering everything from scheduling and logistics to stakeholder coordination and project execution.   The site tour gave teams an opportunity to gather project insights, ask technical questions and see firsthand the complexities of planning and delivering a major civic improvement project.   We're proud to support the next generation of industry professionals by providing opportunities to connect classroom concepts with real-world construction experience.   HOK | LM2 CONSTRUCTION | City of Kansas City, MO

Whether you call it soccer, football or fútbol, one thing is certain, the excitement is building. ⚽ As the world cheers on their favorite teams, we are proud to be building the communities that make moments like these possible. From colleges to water treatment plants, municipal projects, parks, and the biggest stages filled with fans, McCarthy builds the places where people live, work and celebrate. At the center of it all is something even greater: our people. Different backgrounds, different roles, different stories. One team, all in for each other!🤝 Because when the biggest moments arrive, the real work is already in motion. #CommunityBuilder #TrueBuilders #Soccer #Futbol #McCarthyBuild

Some places are more than a project—they become part of the community’s story. ✨ We were proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Clock Tower Landing at the Overland Park Farmers’ Market, a reimagined space designed to bring people together year-round.   For more than four decades, this market has been a gathering place for the community. Now, with a new enclosed pavilion, expanded public spaces and enhanced amenities, it’s designed to support even more—from weekly markets to concerts, watch parties and everyday connection.   We’re proud to have partnered with the City of Overland Park, PGAV Architects and Copaken Brooks to bring this vision to life while preserving the character that makes this place special.   Here’s to a space where neighbors become friends, traditions continue and community happens.

Recently, we celebrated a major milestone at Shelter KC: A Kansas City Rescue Mission with a topping out ceremony.  Achieving this milestone represents more than setting the highest beam, it’s a step closer to a space that will provide stability, support, and hope for people in our Kansas City community for years to come. We’re honored to help bring this project to life and grateful for the many hands and collaboration that made this milestone possible. At Forge Construction, we’re proud to build projects that are Built to Endure and strengthen our city, creating a lasting impact.

What does “hero work” look like? Through one young voice, we told a bigger story about the people who build, shape, and strengthen our world every day. This piece set the tone for the AGC Annual Convention, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we created alongside Harp & Sling To every attendee, sponsor, exhibitor, speaker and chapter: thank you for being a piece of something bigger than a single week. You’re part of the story we’re telling!
