Feature Friday | Judson McEachern

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little more about our Superintendent, Judson!

🏗️ What attracted you to construction? I realized early on in my career that I enjoy seeing tangible results come to life from hard work, dedication, and learning from my mistakes. I have a strong desire for a fast-paced problem-solving environment. Every day brings a new set of challenges, and each project will continue to push you to grow and develop. An added bonus is the variety of companies, people, and relationships you build along the way.

🦺 What advice would you want to give someone who wanted to enter the construction field? The ethos I use to motivate others is Savage Over Average. Show up, pay attention, and actively listen to what's going on around you. Ask questions and be sure to trust but verify. Avoid complacency.

🚧 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself! Outside of work, I enjoy riding dirt bikes, spending time outdoors, and live music. I like pushing myself to learn new things and I’m always looking for ways to improve, whether that’s work, leadership, or personal goals.

Atlanta Motorsports Park x Macallan Construction

After months of training, planning, and sharpening our skills, it was time to put the brakes on work and hit the gas.

Our team recently spent the day at Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville, putting our racing skills to the test and enjoying some well-earned time together off the jobsite.

A big thank you to Atlanta Motorsports Park for hosting our crew and providing an unforgettable experience. We had a blast!

Feature Friday | Katie Balter

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little more about our Project Manager, Katie!

🏗️ What attracted you to construction?

Construction was familiar to me growing up because of my dad, who was a residential general contractor in the Atlanta area, but I stayed in the industry because I enjoy the constant learning, fast-paced problem solving, and the challenge of keeping projects moving forward with both the field teams and ownership groups.

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

Be humble enough to learn from everyone around you, but confident enough to contribute your own ideas and ask questions. Construction is an industry where experience matters, and some of the best lessons come from spending time in the field and building relationships with superintendents and subcontractors. The more time you spend understanding how work is actually built, the stronger you’ll become professionally.

🚧 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!

Outside of work, most of my time is spent with my three kids. When I get a little downtime, I also enjoy baking.

Feature Friday | Jared Hutchinson

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

🏗️ What attracted you to construction?

The thing that attracted me to construction was that my dad and grandfather have both been in construction their entire careers. As well as, I have always liked the atmosphere of watching the building process from dirt into a building.

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

The construction industry is not always a job that allows you to stay home. If you’re going to join the industry, you need to start out with the ability to relocate or travel, especially for someone in their 20’s like me. It makes the work more fun, and the possibilities of seeing some beautiful places a little easier.

🚧 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!

A fun fact is that I built my first computer when I was 16, and I can do a Rubik’s Cube in 1 minute and 30 seconds.
