The Build: Red Bull Energy Station, F1 Miami

Posted on 4/28 by Jenny Moraga

Partnering with THE. Team — one of the country's premier experiential build partners — our crew helped construct the Red Bull Energy Station inside the F1 Miami paddock. Slatted exterior panels. Multi-story structural work. Custom mural installation. Full activation buildout in a tight window, on a closed circuit, surrounded by some of the most demanding logistics in live events. This was our second F1 build with THE. Team. And we've already been signed on for every upcoming Formula 1 activation on the calendar. That's not an accident. That's a track record.

Weather-Driven Workforce Readiness: Preparing Restoration Teams for Emergency Response

Posted on 1/28 by Jenny Moraga

When winter storms hit, restoration companies are often the first call. Freezing temperatures, snow, and ice can quickly lead to burst pipes, flooding, and extensive water damage. These emergencies don’t arrive on a schedule, and they rarely come one at a time. The difference between a smooth response and a chaotic scramble often comes down to one thing: workforce readiness.
