Share
Ver-Tex Construction President & CEO Brianna Goodwin recently spoke with Blueprint Construction Magazine about Ver-Tex’s recent growth in Florida, highlighting the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, along with the company’s culture and other noteworthy projects, both in New England & Florida.
Ver-Tex Construction Florida
In discussing the company’s growth and its Florida division, Goodwin mentions Ver-Tex’s involvement in notable construction projects in the area, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, which features a 450-foot tall tower shaped like a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, and the Orlando International Airport expansion. Goodwin touched specifically on the unique solutions needed to complete the project, noting that the “guitar shape necessitated angled windows of different shapes, sizes and inclines, for a lot of customized solutions,” and mentioning, “…we’ve been involved with this project for years and now it’s time to perform under a tight schedule. The next Super Bowl is in Hard Rock Stadium.”
Ver-Tex Company Culture
The familial company culture of Ver-Tex Construction was another point discussed, with Goodwin highlighting the company-wide events held in Canton: themed parties, casual get-together, and strategic meetings, during which the Florida team is often flown up to the company’s Massachusetts headquarters. With the rate of growth in Florida at 500 percent annually, Goodwin makes it a priority to gather and connect the New England and Florida divisions, neglecting nothing on the home front and continuing to honor long-time commitments to New England clients.
Noteworthy Construction Projects
In addition to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Ver-Tex has secured a large contract for the Orlando International Airport expansion and is also currently completing a job at Florida International University.
