South Carolina-based design-build company Robbins Construction is celebrating its fifth anniversary in business this year. In its relatively short lifetime, this company has stayed busy by working on a breadth of interesting projects while continuing to diversify its market sectors and projects.

RONCO emphasizes the protection of the head, hand, and body for workers on the job across its native home of Canada.

JR McNeal, owner and founder of Salinas Shell Contracting, has been involved with the home construction market since 2000, in a career that has seen him go from decking roofs to framing and into concrete. At the suggestion of one of his concrete contractors, he got his start in shell contracting, the construction of the foundation and structure of a building, around two years ago in Tampa, Florida.

Ever since its humble beginnings, WORD Rock Drills has aimed to be both a family-focused and faith-driven operation. The company began operations in 2006 in Colorado after its founders, John and Lisa Patterson, pivoted from longstanding careers in the drilling industry to start their own business. WORD started as a venture run out of the attic of the Patterson family home in Colorado, mainly dealing with buying and selling drill parts from suppliers in Mexico; by 2011, John pursued a product line that included the company's first drill.

For Central Builders Inc. (CBI), it all started with family. The company began in 1989 under the leadership of Carl Ehrlich and his son Matt, who is now the company's Vice President of Administration. The Ehrlichs wanted to fill a niche as a general contractor in the grocery industry in the early '90s, at a time when construction projects attached to grocery stores had turned into seven-figure remodeling operations.

American railroad contractor Cranemasters officially began operations on October 10, 1986. It originated as the culmination of an idea of Loren Isringhausen's, an idea that came to fruition with help and input from his sons Brian and Barry. The family moved to Richmond, Virginia from Southern Illinois and seized an opportunity to purchase equipment from a crane manufacturer to begin work in the industry in their own way.

LIVIO Building Systems is making big moves and bringing new ways of thinking into the construction industry—but the person behind its development initially made his name outside of construction. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Navneet Aron began his journey as a real estate developer in 2013, possessing no background in development construction; prior to this, he was an engineer who had worked in software developing consumer and mobile applications, among other projects.
