As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the year and express gratitude. Here at Beacon Consulting Group, 2024 has been another busy and productive year, filled with exciting opportunities and challenges as our teams managed construction consulting projects across the U.S. First and foremost, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible clients who trust us to support their success. Many of you have been with us for 10, 15, or even 20+ years, and your continued partnership means everything to us. I’m also deeply grateful to our talented and hardworking team members. Over the past 21 years, their dedication, project management expertise, ingenuity, and collaboration have been the foundation of our growth and success...
Happy Independence Day! On behalf of everyone here at Beacon Consulting Group, I hope you have a fun and relaxing 4th of July weekend!...
I hope had a great Memorial Day Weekend! The Spring season is flying by. This time of year is extremely busy in the construction industry. In the northern parts of the U.S., work on exterior construction, roadways, and other civil projects accelerates along with the longer days and warmer temperatures. Beacon's team is currently working on a wide range of construction projects across the U.S.
On the east coast, we are consulting on projects from New England to Florida, including several large skyscrapers being built in New York City and an important civil / site work project underway at a U.S. Military Base in Jacksonville, FL (see Beacon's May E-news). In Texas, we are consulting on an apartment complex in San Antonio and a concrete project underway in Dallas. As always, we are also working on a diverse range of assignments for our clients, including Surety Claims Consulting, Funds Control, Construction Loan Monitoring, and Construction Defects Consulting...
Happy Memorial Day! It's a great weekend to take a breather and spend time with family and friends. We also want to honor and remember all the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who lost their lives while serving our country. Their service and sacrifice should never be forgotten. On behalf of everyone here at Beacon Consulting Group, I hope you have a fun and relaxing holiday weekend...
I hope your March is going well! I would like to lead off this month by saying congratulations to Kieran O'Connor, who heads up Beacon's Florida office, and his wonderful wife Erin. The couple welcomed their first baby in late February, Rory Joseph O'Connor. Both Erin and young Rory are doing well! In other staff news, please check out this month's Beacon E-news for a staff profile of Jim Lynch. Jim is a young project engineer who hails from County Kerry Ireland, the same county in Southwest Ireland where my parents grew up. Jim is a hard-working, talented young guy. We are happy to have him onboard...
This message marks the rare calendar date which comes every 4 years (leap year) - February 29th. I had to use Google to remember why we have leap year, but it's because the earth actually takes 365 days and 6 hours to orbit the sun (not exactly 365 days). That extra quarter of a day has to get accounted for somewhere. So every four years, we add 24 hours (four times six hours) to the calendar at the end of February. It's pretty impressive that ancient civilizations as far back as the Roman Empire (45 BC) had figured out the need for that extra day every 4 years!
Speaking of important calendar dates, March 3rd is coming up next week. This year, March 3rd marks Beacon's 21st anniversary in business. It's incredible how fast 21 years has flown by...
Happy Presidents' Day! It's a good day to reflect on what a great country we live in and give recognition to two of the courageous leaders whose legacies live on in the freedoms we enjoy today.
Whether you are having a relaxing day off or catching up on work, I hope you have a great day...
Happy 2024! Our team will be in New Orleans this month (Jan. 24-26) for the ABA's Fidelity & Surety Law (FSLC) Midwinter Meeting.
