Skilled Hands and Competent Management

Ageless Materials
Plaster and concrete are ageless building materials that will not fall out of favor as long as there is a sufficient amount of workers who are skilled in the arts of installation and finishing.
The Arts of Installation
Finishing concrete requires a keen attention to detail. By placing a wet mixture of concrete, members are tasked with producing a work of art. This could be a sidewalk, driveway, curb and gutter or a large slab for a building. Often these works are seen and used every day. Using their skills with a variety of finishing tools, their work must all be complete within a small window of time. Once finished, their product is set and hardens even more with time, leaving the finishers mark for decades or more.
