NE Firm Holds Subcontractor Appreciation Events

Quincy, MA – J. Calnan and Associates (JC&A) recently hosted two appreciation events for its subcontractors at its most recent lab redevelopment projects, located at 690 Canton Ave. in Westwood and 14-16 Oak Park Drive in Bedford.

JC&A’s project sites are often treated to appreciation lunches – this time, a barbecue feast catered by Big Pig BBQ.  After hearing a brief speech from their respective project executives expressing gratitude, subcontractors lunched on fresh-off-the-grill steak tips, chicken and burgers; homemade macaroni and cheese; potato salad; and corn bread. After lunch, everyone was gifted a customized T-shirt featuring JC&A’s trademark “We Build…” tagline and the project logo.

“When we talk about building ‘the JC&A way,’ this is what we mean – strong relationships with the best of the best – and it’s our subcontractors that carry us over the finish line and ultimately make each project a success,” remarked JC&A partner/project executive, Chet Braun. “We couldn’t do what we do and look as good doing it without the dedication of all of you, so hats off to our subcontractor teams!”
