Batson-Cook Construction

Construction Inclusion Week was a huge success! Our sites came together for ally walks, cultural cookoffs, and meaningful discussions on accountability, belonging, and community engagement. We're proud of our team's commitment to diversity and inclusion, and we look forward to continuing these conversations throughout the year. #BatsonCook #ConstructionInclusionWeek #CIW2024 #CommunityEngagement #AllyWalk #CulturalCookoff

Our Atlanta office recently hosted a Bring A Child to Work event! Children ages 7-14 had a blast exploring STEAM through hands-on activities like spaghetti tower building and boat float challenges. They also explored the future of construction with a live demonstration of AR technology by our Virtual Design and Construction department, and resume writing from our Human Resources department. And of course, no event would be complete without delicious breakfast and lunch! #bringachildtowork #takeachildtowork #batsoncook

At Batson-Cook, we're dedicated to being a true partner on every project. Our measure of success is exceeding clients’ expectations and knowing that their projects were completed not just well, but better than anticipated. We're committed to delivering excellence in everything we do. Our best results are when Batson-Cook is brought into the discussion as early as possible on a project. On the MUST Ministries shelter in Cobb County, our Preconstruction team worked with the owner in the project’s early conceptual stages to bring this project to fruition. In understanding the sensitivity of the budget and by studying several building schemes, it became apparent the initial steel frame building design and overall layout of the building was not conducive to MUST Ministries’ needs. Our Preconstruction team was able to recommend a simplified building layout and an adjustment to a more cost-effective, wood-framed design. Batson-Cook worked side-by-side with MUST Ministries and the design team conducting monthly design-coordination meetings, making multiple site visits, and providing cost feedback along the way to ensure the design evolved in accordance with MUST Ministries’ needs. The result is a cost-effective project that can have a greater impact in our community with the money they saved during construction. #experiencetheBCDifference #batsoncook #costsavings

#tbt Completed in 2000, Three Wells Fargo Center is stunning 914,000-square-foot, 38-story landmark in uptown Charlotte, North Carolina. Included in the scope of the project was a lobby build-out, public space, 23 tenant floors, as well as a seven-level, 925-space parking deck. The Three Wells Fargo Center project was no easy feat. Before construction could even begin, Batson-Cook had to tackle the daunting task of removing 5,000 cubic yards of hazardous materials and excavating 80,000 cubic yards of rock for development. #batsoncook #throwbackthursday #construction #charlottenc #officetower

The final topic for Construction Inclusion week is Community Engagement! Developing a comprehensive approach to community engagement through a DEI lens is beneficial to any organization. It helps ensure your employees feel a sense of belonging as they give back to their community and that you are inclusive in your community initiatives to ensure needs are met and populations are not discriminated against. As this week concludes, consider how you can give back to the community through a DEI lens. Are there any opportunities to volunteer and become an ally, be a mentor, or give in other ways? It might make a difference in someone’s life. #batsoncook #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2023 #communityengagement
