Top blog posts of 2024

Dec 28, 2024

It is that time again when we reflect on the past year, reflect on all the awesome clients we have served, and look forward to the coming year with anticipation. This year was rough to start with, but is ending on solid ground. We lost some team members and added some new ones. We had the fortune of a record number of new projects in a year and that is saying something as we complete our 37th year in business. So as we start to reflect we look at what you were interested in learning more about. Here are the top 10 Blog posts of 2024.

10. Everyone wanted to know when the new Oriental Express would open – here is one of the construction updates that got a lot of attention.

9. There are questions and we have resources to help – thinking about building a custom home always gets a lot of attention. This resource will answer a lot of your questions before you ever hire an architect or builder.

8. It look like a lot of people were thinking about front porches this year – I think that is a good sign that we all want to build stronger communities.
