#1 MCA REPORTS CONSTRUCTION GROWTH MARKETS ARE SPREADING


The Metal Construction Association recently named the top 20 Construction Growth Markets in the United States. Among some of the top markets on this list are Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL, Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA, and Riverside-San Bernardino-Onrario, CA. 

Check out what other markets made the cut on the Metal Construction Association’s TOP 20 CONSTRUCTION GROWTH MARKETS list. 

#2 CRANE WATCH



Another helpful tool we suggest is the Crane Watch by The Business Journals.  The Crane Watch is an interactive map that displays the major project developments from the proposal phase to completion in most major cities across the country.

Users can easily monitor projects from this map where each project is pinned with information such as the project details, timing, scope, developers, photos, and related articles. 

The Crane Watch currently covers 40 markets in the United States and here are several of the Metal Construction Association’s recently named Top 20 Construction Growth Markets for you.

#3 CRITERIA PRE-EMPLOYMENT TESTING



Here at MillerClapperton, we are always searching for great people to join our team.  One of the ways that help us screen potential employees is HireSelect by CRITERIA CORP

HireSelect is an online service that allows us to provide candidates with an online application and pre-employment tests designed by Harvard University psychologists.  The tests include aptitude tests, personality tests, and skills tests that we can specifically select to best fit our needs. 

The site offers flat-fee pricing, a ROI calculator to see the impact pre-employement testing can have on your bottom line, and it has testing designed for almost 20 specific industries.

We encourage all business owners or hiring managers to explore this offering as it has helped MillerClapperton find the best people to join our family.  If you’re interested in any of our available positions, you can view them on our CAREERS page of our website where we use HireSelect.

#5 CURRENT PROJECT



Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Town Center – Urgent Care   
MillerClapperton is currently working on the new Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) facility in Kennesaw, GA. CHOA is one of the nation’s top ranking pediatric research hospitals in the country and is expecting to serve even more patients with the expansion of this new Outpatient Care Center. This project includes 7,200 square-feet of terracotta tiles from NBK America, and 2,900 square-feet of single skin panels from Petersen. The terracotta is unique for these projects because the tiles are vertically oriented as opposed to the horizontal application typically found on most buildings.

Location: Kennesaw, GA
Material: Terracotta Tiles, Single Skin Panels
