As part of a nationwide movement, the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) and the greater construction community annually devotes the first week of March to highlighting the growing role of women in the industry.

HBC joins the celebration by sitting down with one of our very own women in construction, Sarah Webb, to talk about her experiences and insights.

11/09/2017

The brave men and women who have served our country, and who continue to serve today, risking their own lives for the betterment of others, deserve our gratitude and respect on daily basis, not just one a year. This month, we remember and thank our Veterans, across all branches, for their service and sacrifice.

The Life and Legacy of Gary Conrad
07/01/2019
Reflecting on the life and legacy of one of our founders is by no means accomplished in one article, one celebration, or one moment of silence.

Leadership in the Midst of a Crisis
05/01/2020
Nobody could have predicted the sequence of events that occurred as a result of the Novel Coronavirus outbreak. Aside from major, irrevocable consequences caused by a virus that nobody had heard of just a few months prior, businesses across the world have been forced to adapt quickly. As a result, businesses and communities are rising to the occasion and demonstrating resiliency, courage, and fortitude in a situation where a straightforward solution is muddled underneath layers of “what-if” scenarios. There are truly inspiring stories of leaders who are facing the unknown head-on while providing stability to others in the midst of a global crisis.

To Our Clients & Industry Partners
05/28/2020
Howard Building Corporation (HBC) has been able to maintain regular business hours and keep a vast majority of jobsites open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our standard business practices, however, have been anything but regular. Our office staff has adapted to a work-from-home model, and our field staff has been adapting to new jobsite guidelines. As we move into the next phase of California’s reopening, we will transition again, this time towards some semblance of “normal.” While we don’t know what this new phase looks like, we know HBC is prepared to take the challenge in stride.

An ESOP Story: Howard Building Corporation
10/28/2020
How did HBC evolve into an ESOP?In the early eighties, a young Mike Howard sought a solution to a problem he saw in the industry. The term “tenant improvement,” as we now understand it, was not yet a fully developed category. Construction firms were doing it all, from core and shell to the interior. It was a noble pursuit, but by the time these firms got around to the interior, resources had run low. Little time and money were being spent on building the interior—the heart—of these spaces. Mike Howard’s solution? Howard Building Corporation (HBC).
