Desoto Community Dives In At Moseley Pool Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

What an incredible opening as we joined the Desoto Parks and Recreation Department and the community to celebrate the completion of the Moseley Pool renovation. New amenities include a lazy river, rock climbing wall, air-conditioned party room, office areas, and more.

The ribbon cutting event was free to the public and was a treat to see the community enjoying all our hard work with a whole lot of swimming, splashing, and fun in the sun!

REEDER in the News: Fort Worth ISD pairs aspiring engineers, architects with industry professionals

FORT WORTH, Texas – Fort Worth ISD gave its students the opportunity to help them chart their paths.

The school district on Wednesday gave some aspiring engineers and architects from across the district a chance to get a jump start on their futures.

High school senior Joel Rodriguez designed and created a school-themed box for protecting his class ring.

“Right now, I’m just taking the engineering class they are providing us. Last year, I took engineering essentials,” he said.

Rodriguez is just one of many Fort Worth ISD upperclassmen getting a jump on their futures in architecture, engineering and construction.

From resumes to tips on how to prepare for interviews, several North Texas firms are providing the students with what to expect when seeking positions.

“In college, I would like to do more specific type of engineering, architectural engineering. But I am going to major in civil engineering and do a minor in architect,” said senior Kennedy Ball.

Some have a game plan while others are testing the waters.

Case Study: Leveraging the Immediacy of Digital Plan Management with Procore

How Technology Eliminates the Long Walk Back to the Trailer

The Challenge

During a ground-up elementary school build, an electrician’s question for the project superintendent threw a pause into the schedule. The full plan set was needed to answer the question, and that was back at the jobsite trailer. So they started walking. 15 minutes to the trailer, a 25-minute collaboration, and a 15 minute walk back to where they started added up to about an hour’s worth of elapsed project time.

The Solution

Procore’s mobile, cloud-based construction management solution puts all project data in your hands, wherever you are. A single digital plan set—common to all and viewable on iPad or smartphone—puts the project picture in your pocket and goes where you go, while offering a real-time window on project status to the offsite owner.

The Results
