Our team had fun attending this year’s Art of Childhood fundraising gala event! The event raised over $600,000 throughout the night to help support The Children’s Cabinet and their mission to keep children safe and families together. We are proud to support this organization and all they do to help members of our community with many different resources, including one resource highlighted at this years event – free family counseling services.

We are happy to announce this year’s English Cottage-style playhouse, designed and built by our team for the live auction, raised over $3,700 for The Children’s Cabinet. Stay tuned for more photos soon of the playhouse at it’s new home!

Back in February, we announced that United Construction was finalist for the 2022 Nevada Business Magazine (NBM) Awards under the “Battle Born” category. To honor all of the finalists and announce the winners, the NBM hosted an upscale business luncheon at the Peppermill yesterday afternoon. Along with Design Manager Keith Deutscher and Marketing Manager Alana Ridge representing United, Northern Nevada businesses from a wide variety of industries and years in service attended the event to celebrate each other.

Out of the many nominations, United was in the Top 3 under the “Battle Born” category, which recognizes companies that have been in business for more than 25 years. We are thrilled to be among the best this year in this category. Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists!

Despite supply chain issues affecting our industry, construction in Nevada continues onward efficiently and with confidence, as builders and developers help our state grow. Our CEO Michael Russell was recently a part of Nevada Business Magazine’s Builder & Developer Roundtable with other Silver State construction/development leaders to discuss the reality of these matters and how the industry continues to overcome these obstacles.

Dive into Michael’s words of wisdom as well as insight from the other expert panelists in Nevada Business Magazine’s Industry Focus article, which highlights the conversation at the recent roundtable.
