Feature Friday | Gavin Copeland

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little about the newest addition to our team, Gavin!

🏗️ What attracted you to construction?

I was drawn to construction because I like seeing real, physical results from hard work. It’s rewarding to be part of a team that builds something from the ground up and to know that what you worked on will be there for years. My dad worked in construction, so I grew up around the industry and developed an early interest in how projects come together. I also like that construction combines hands-on field work with problem-solving and planning, which keeps the work both challenging and engaging.

🚧 What advice would you want to give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?

I would tell them to be willing to learn, show up early, and work hard. Construction is a field where a great work ethic and a great attitude are imperative. Learn to ask questions, pay attention to details, and always take safety seriously. It’s also important to meet and talk to as many people as you can. You can learn a lot from others’ experiences, and the majority of people in the industry are excited to help the next generation learn; they’re just waiting for you to ask.

🦺 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
A fun fact about me is that I spend a lot of my free time playing basketball or hiking. I like staying active and being outside.
