WE ARE WHO WE ARE BECAUSE ALL OF US ARE BORN TO BUILD

10 years ago, I never would have thought my passion in this industry would be custom finishing panels. There are so many complex variables that need attention; The chemistry, the timing, the temperature, but when you do all these things, the end result can be a work of art

THE MG MCGRATH PROJECT TRACKING APPLICATION WORKED OUT FABULOUS. WE NEVER HAD ONE FRAME THAT WAS OUT OF ORDER

“MG McGrath on this project had an immensely challenging scope. There were a lot of unique materials, a unique application, and all interacting with a cast in place structure that was architecturally exposed for a lot of it which presents its own challenges. MG McGrath did a fantastic job of bringing a great balance of material sourcing, and fabrication, and pre-assembly that we couldn’t have done with anybody else to make this project successful” – Ryan Richardson, PCL Construction Project Manager

ALL OF THIS WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE BY HIGHLY SKILLED CRAFTSMEN WHO HAVE A DEEP SENSE OF PRIDE FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO

With the collaboration between our VDC team, the design team, engineers, estimators, the construction manager, craftsman in the shop, and in the field, we were able to produce our own work of art that will feature some amazing pieces. The Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement is a building that I cannot wait to open up. I want to show my family, my friends, and my kids the amazing work we did here. The relationships I build along the way will stay with me forever

WE TAKE ON BOLD, WE TAKE ON CREATIVE, WE TAKE ON THE IMPOSSIBLE

Every project we take on gives us a chance to take things to the next level. It’s not us vs our competition. It’s us vs our own pride and passion for who we are and what we do. With the technology and people we have in place, there are not many companies that can do what we do. This is who we are. Success here is measured by how far we can push our limits
