Birdville Elementary Update

February 28, 2017 By Matt Pine Leave a Comment

This project is defined in part by limited lay down areas and close proximity to existing structures. You can see from this aerial.

The photo illustrates the new construction that is adjacent to the existing school. Additionally, this is slated for demolition beginning in June. Once the demolition is complete, we will construct an 81,000 SF parking lot.

Our team continues to work effectively through the challenges of the site. These include weather and the normal construction issues.

We will keep you updated on the progress!

Update on Dunbar High School

February 14, 2017 By Matt Pine Leave a Comment

Reeder General has begun building a 1000 SF Media Room and Weight Room for Dunbar High School in Fort Worth.

We poured the slab last Friday, and we are now beginning existing building demolition and standing structural steel this week. Concrete masonry unit (CMU) and brick veneer will follow over the next month. We will reroof the building and we’ll add new rubber flooring throughout.

This is a four-month project and we have three months to go, so our completion date is May of 2017.

Welcome to Fort Worth

The Fort Worth Convention & Visitors Bureau announced some impressive numbers last week.

In 2016, approximately 8.8 million people visited Fort Worth – up 35 percent from 2014. All told, tourism industries contributed $116 million in sales tax to the City of Fort Worth.

What kind of economic impact did that create? According to Bob Jameson, President and Chief Executive of the CVB, the industry had a $2.3 billion economic impact. And it looks like there’s more to come.

The CVB also announced they’ve booked the largest convention in their 51-year history. Starting in 2020, the National Beta Club will meet in Fort Worth. Additionally, we should see 15,000 attendees over a five-day period.

This year, Fort Worth will host 11 major conventions, in addition to numerous conferences and meetings.

We’d like to congratulate the Fort Worth CVB on all their hard work and their dedication to bringing visitors to our wonderful city.
