I salute the working men and women who build:

The mechanics, machine operators, and assembly workers that produce building products.
The truckers. warehouse men, and crane operators that deliver materials to their right location.
The carpenters, plasterers, steamfitters, roofers, concrete finishers, and other crafts and trades people that work in difficult and too often dangerous site conditions to assemble and buildings.
The the operating engineers, janitors, and service technicians that keep our buildings functioning.

This website usually focuses on the role of architects, engineers, and contractors in making building product specification and purchase decisions. But it would be wrong to neglect the importance of laborers in determining the acceptance and success of any building product marketing campaign.

One more thing: Have a very safe holiday weekend.
