Q1 was packed with awards, milestones, and impact. See how we started 2025 strong.

From Las Vegas to the home office, Q1 was filled with big wins, meaningful moments, and new milestones for the GROUP Contractors team. We’re proud to highlight just a few things that made the start of 2025 one to remember.


GROUP Wins TWO Excellence in Construction Awards

At the ABC National Convention in Las Vegas, GROUP was presented with an Excellence Eagle Award for H.L. Bourgeois High School Hurricane Ida Repairs and a Pyramid Award for the Energy Transfer Expansion Project.


GROUP Named Top Contractor, Again!

GROUP was named #102 Overall Contractor in the U.S. and #50 General Contractor in the Nation. We’re proud to be recognized again as one of the top-performing contractors in the country.


Supporting Heart Health

We went red for a reason! Our team marked American Heart Month with hard hat stickers, education and trainings, and a company-wide blood drive.


Health Screenings for Our GROUP

95% of our office team participated in heart health screenings provided by Baton Rouge General. Thank you to BRG for partnering with us!
