Supporting Shepherd Center's SHARE Military Initiative, One Clay at a Time

/

A day outdoors. A team brought together. A mission worth supporting. 🇺🇸

Our Macallan team was honored to participate in this year’s Shepherd’s Men Clay Shoot Invitational!

The event benefited Shepherd Center’s SHARE Military Initiative, which provides comprehensive care for veterans and first responders living with traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, and other invisible injuries.

Thank you to Shepherd’s Men for bringing our community together to support those who have served. We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of a day dedicated to hope, healing, and connection.

Macallan U October!

/

We’re in the homestretch of our yearlong Macallan U Series!

October was all about Quality Control, Inspections, Punch Lists, and Closeout—the important details that bring a project across the finish line!

A big thank you to Nick Purcell of Houser Walker Architecture and Dan Jenkins of LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD. for joining us and sharing their insights on substantial completion and the punch list process. We always appreciate hearing perspectives from our industry partners!

And a special thanks to Live Oak Construction Supply for sponsoring lunch and sticking around to experience a little Macallan U firsthand! The Macallan-branded Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. FATMAX tape measures were the icing on the cake, a fun takeaway for a day focused on getting every detail just right!

Hard to believe we're nearing the end of another great year of learning and collaboration!

Concrete Before Coffee! ☕

While most of the Highlands was still sleeping, our team was already hard at work! We kicked off this concrete pour at 4:00 a.m. alongside Hemma Concrete. Thanks to their crew for helping make the pour a success and keeping the Highlands House project moving forward!

 

Supporting our Community!

It’s been a great week getting out in the community!

We kicked things off at the Cobb Chamber Reed Leeper Classic golf tournament, welcomed our friends from LS3P to join us at the Atlanta Police Foundation's Crime is Toast awards breakfast honoring the men and women who work tirelessly to make our city safer, and wrapped things up at Kennesaw State University, where we had the chance to meet some of the future leaders of our industry.

A full week of connecting, supporting our community, and meeting some great people along the way!

Feature Friday | Michelle Freeman Popplewell

/

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little more about our Business Integrator, Michelle!

🏗️ What attracted you to construction? I originally went to school to study Environmental Engineering because I was inspired by the lack of sustainable resource use in Puerto Rico. But when I had to take Calc 2, I realized I was more interested in the people side of things and switched my major to International Affairs. Fast forward into my career, I never lost sight of wanting to improve spaces and things. I'm constantly redecorating my home, and HGTV and Magnolia Network are always on in my house because I'm fascinated by how a space can be transformed. So when a friend referred me to a role at a construction company, it was an obvious yes because I got to be in the business of seeing visions come to life while working with people.

🦺 What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field? It all starts with the people you know. It doesn't matter if you studied construction or not, if you want to get into the field, start with the people around you and go from there. Relationships open doors that a resume alone can't.

🚧 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself! I’m a first generation “Cuba Rican” from Puerto Rico and I call it home. I want my son to know the island, so I love dancing salsa or merengue with him in our living room.

Week in the Life

Last week was a busy one at Macallan Construction! 🏗️ From progress on our jobsites in Buford and Highlands to another Macallan University training session, here’s a look at what we’ve been building, learning, and accomplishing together.

Macallan Interns

/

More than bricks and sticks! It was a summer of learning, growth, and hands-on experience! 👷‍♂️ 🏗️ Last week, our construction interns, Chase and Sam, shared highlights from their summer with the entire Macallan Construction team.

They reflected on their responsibilities, lessons learned in the field, relationships built, and how the experience helped them grow both personally and professionally. We’re proud of everything they accomplished and grateful for the energy, curiosity, and hard work they brought to Macallan this summer.

Thank you, Chase and Sam, for being such a valuable part of our team. We’re excited to see where your careers take you next!
