William Contreras is a Production Supervisor in our HVAC division. He moved to the U.S. from Colombia 40 years ago with the goal of providing for his family here and those he left behind. Although times were tough, the strength and sense of responsibility instilled in him by his parents helped him persevere. He shares a Colombian saying – “Para atrás ni para tomar impulso,” which means “not a step back even to gain momentum.” This mindset has driven William and his family through every new enterprise, adventure, and chapter.   “Even when we encounter struggle, adversity, or hardship, our Hispanic spirit and pride within ourselves make us resilient and stronger,” he shared.    William’s love for his Hispanic roots and culture 🌟 shines🌟 through in his words. He sees Hispanic Heritage Month as a time to not only celebrate the contributions and history of Hispanic and Latin communities but also to promote inclusivity and understanding across the U.S.   William - you are a true inspiration and an integral part of our team! 👏

She believes this month, and throughout the year, is a time to celebrate the Hispanic culture and history, promoting understanding and appreciation. She also said it’s a chance to highlight the amazing things this community has accomplished.   When asked what part of her culture she is most proud of, Nallely said, “The food and family values.

🛠️ BABA Compliance: What You Need to Know 🛠️   The Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act plays a vital role in U.S. infrastructure projects. From public water systems to transportation, BABA ensures we’re building with American-made materials. Here are a few things to keep in mind when navigating BABA compliance:   ✅Identify Applicable Projects Does your infrastructure project receive federal funding? Then it might fall under BABA ✅Analyze Contracts Understand who’s responsible for compliance—from contractors to suppliers. ✅Evaluate Products Only “Made in America” materials qualify. This includes construction materials, manufactured products, and iron/steel.    Want to dive deeper into compliance strategies?
