For a while now, the construction industry has faced challenges when it comes to finding qualified candidates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, our industry lost nearly two million jobs in the last recession when folks left for other opportunities and never returned. This unfilled gap combined with the retirement of baby boomers and the lack of interest young generations have in pursuing a construction career leaves us all trying to answer an important question – how do we find talent in a tightening labor market?…

Bozzuto Birthday Greetings

Posted on April 3, 2020

April 4, 2020 is the 32nd anniversary of the founding of our company. I am reminded of it daily because that date is inscribed on the back of a gold religious medal that my wife, Barbara, gave me to celebrate the company’s creation. I’ve worn it ever since.

Right on Target: Our Mission Is Our Calling

Arash the Archer

When an archer lifts their bow and arrow, they are singularly focused on their goal—to hit their target dead center. With the utmost precision, they pull back the arrow, creating energy and tension. They focus on the target, slowing their breath until the world around them becomes silent. In the blink of an eye, they release the arrow, doing their best to hit the bullseye. Their relentless pursuit of the target motivates them, each day presenting an opportunity to try…

Our Veterans: The Pinnacle of Service

Posted on November 8, 2019

For a long time, our company has actively sought to hire military veterans. We have also hired spouses of veterans as well as active-duty soldiers. I thought it might be useful here to explain why. You may think right from the beginning of our company, our motivation to hire servicemen and women came from the fact that two of the company’s founders are veterans. It didn’t. In fact, John Slidell and I, both having served in the army in Vietnam…
