IN CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Sweet Group recognizes the history and contributions of Black professionals in the construction industry. From the first Black AIA Architects, Paul Revere Williams and Norma Merrick Sklareck to many of the Black Owned Minority and Women Owned Contractors, the construction industry would not be what it is today without these pioneers, visionaries and leaders. Sweet is committed to working with a diverse group of contractors and vendors to increase diversity on our construction projects. We will continue to support and develop relationships with Minority & Women Owned Business Enterprises and support our partners, such as the National Association of Minority Contractors, the Women Builders Council and Professional Women in Construction.

NEW YEAR, NEW INSURANCE

As we are more than a month into the new year, Sweet Group recognizes one of the major challenges that contractors will face - Insurance Renewal. Insurance is essential for any contractor to do work while protecting workers and their business from liabilities that may occur. Sweet Group recommends that contractors become familiar with their insurance policies, ensure that they correspond with their trades and/or specialties, and keep complete copies of all insurance policies. It is important to work with your broker to ensure that all policies provide adequate coverage for your employees, business and business partners.
