May 22, 2018 Bob Callaghan, superintendent of the Newton Community School District and Paul Koester, president of Koester Construction shake hands at the Newton Softball Field Dedication Monday night. While this marks the first professional project the pair have completed, Bob and Paul have worked together in the past - the distant past! 45 years ago, Bob and Paul were high school classmates. The two reunited at a high school once again last night to celebrate the completion of the Newton Softball Complex and dedicate the field! This Koester Construction project included the softball field, a storage shed, two dugouts, and bleachers for Newton Cardinal fans!

May 18, 2018 Happy Friday from the future home of Discount Tire  in Bristol, Virginia! Even though we had two inches of rain this week, we pushed through, poured building footings, and graded the site. We've got one of our newest superintendents on site in Bristol, and he's doing an excellent job of keeping us on track!

May 14, 2018 It’s hard to have a case of the Mondays when you’ve got visitors like these two! Six-month-old twins Buster & Harper stopped by to see their dad over lunch this afternoon. We tried putting them to work, but they seemed more interested in napping! 😴
