What’s your construction specialty?
I primarily assist project managers with RFIs, submittals, scheduling, and coordinating subcontractors.
What attracted you to the construction industry?
I’ve always been interested in the process of building and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing all the different trades and components come together to create a final product.
What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
Renovating the public spaces and adding restaurants to the Omni Hotel in downtown Atlanta while keeping the hotel open and functioning. The most memorable activity on this job was removing giant stone wall panels a few stories up right next to the street during rush hour to create a restaurant balcony.
What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Never be afraid to ask questions and listen to advise from people with more experience and knowledge than you. That’s the way I’ve learned the most!

Our team is hard at work creating a new entrance from the greenway level, including a lobby, monumental stairs, and a pair of elevators. The exterior will be clad in a glass curtainwall and limestone and the roof will have a landscaped patio. We can't wait to see the transformation of this space!

Our team did an awesome job on this classroom wing addition at Westminster Presbyterian. This project included a new block, brick, steel, and precast construction to match the existing structure. The new building consists of three classrooms, two restrooms, and one divisible group meeting room.
Architect: TSW
What’s your construction specialty?
Millwork / Cabinetry
What attracted you to the construction industry?
I started out of high school doing HVAC and then drywall. What attracted me to construction was when I went to work in a cabinet shop, is where I found my love for construction. I went from simply sanding doors to installing cabinets in a few short years. I installed commercial and residential cabinets for over 10 years.
What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
The Court of Appeals in Atlanta. I remodeled a Judge’s Chamber that had an extensive millwork package. The building itself is over 115 years old, so all the existing woodwork was hand carved.
What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Communication and attention to detail are the keys to being successful in this industry. Create a good work ethic and be proud to be a construction worker!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending as much time with my son as I can.
We enjoyed renovating Congregation Children of Israel's sanctuary, social hall, and lobby in Athens, GA. This project included a full replacement of all finishes and roofing, as well as upgrades to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

We're looking forward to the opening of the Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center in Downtown Atlanta. This has been an exciting project and we're incredibly proud of the transformative final product. We couldn't have done it without our design team – locally C+TC Design Studio and Dallas, Texas-based Waldrop + Nichols Studio.
What’s your construction specialty?
I’m currently an intern in Preconstruction for commercial construction. I also do various project management tasks.
What attracted you to the construction industry?
I have always had an interest in buildings and seeing how every structure has its own character - from building with Legos when I was younger to studying ancient Greek and Roman structures. I took an architecture class in high school where we worked with AutoCAD and Revit to design buildings, then I chose a construction field when joining the military. I think I was just always meant to be in some sort of construction.
What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
I am very new to the construction field but the construction project that I will remember for a long time will be an interior renovation of the Omni Hotel @ the CNN Center. This project is important to me because I was invested in it from the beginning. I assisted in the initial preconstruction phase of this project. Once awarded, I went on to assist the Project Management team and Field Supervision team in daily responsibilities. I got to price and assist in the building of this project from start to finish. I got to work with the subcontractors and see how the Jobsite runs. Most of the time after preconstruction is done and you hand off a project, your job is done - but with this one, I got to work in every aspect of the process. It was fantastic!
What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Keep an open mind. Growing up, I didn’t know exactly what a general contractor did. I just figured it was one superintendent, the subcontractors, and they got the work done. There is a lot of people behind the scenes and if they weren't there, it would make it impossible to complete the project! Construction is not just swinging a hammer at a nail. There is an art to it, and so many job fields within it that could interest people. So explore the industry! You might be pleasantly surprised at what you find.

When I was 15, I told my older sister to come with me on a road trip (I only had a Learners Permit, so I needed someone with a license). I drove to Alabama to meet up with a farmer and bought a pygmy goat. I put him in my backyard and acted surprised when my parents brought it up. I named him Boomer and he is still part of the family to this day.
New labs are up and running at House of Cheatham! It was a pleasure to work with StudioPLAID on this project!
What’s your construction specialty?
Commercial ground up.
What attracted you to the construction industry?
You can be creative and solve problems. You are not restricted by anything other than your own abilities.
What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
The pedestrian bridge at Albany Tech.
What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Ask questions and learn as much as you can about the trades! Every trade has their own procedures and you need to know as much as possible for your manager, your site, and the project team.

I was on the commissioning crew of 3 submarines while in the U.S. Navy. I helped build them.
We are so incredibly proud of our community and The Macallan Group, LLC of companies for coming together Saturday to help us support our client, Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center. We were assisted by a large number of neighborhood volunteers, including the brothers of @Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity's Kennesaw State University chapter who came together to help all of the businesses along Marietta Street. We also could not have completed this work without Staff Zone, C&C Fence Co., Construction Clean-up Specialists, Inc., Mid-South Lumber Co of Georiga, and Rosing Painting & Wallcovering. We appreciate your support!
“As an 18-year veteran in the commercial construction and corporate interiors industry, a certified Safety Trained Supervisor (STS) and a long-standing member of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC Georgia), I can honestly say there has never been an occurrence like COVID-19 that will have such long-lasting, and likely permanent, effects on how commercial construction projects are built and completed.
I know it has been said a million times, but these are truly unprecedented times. I feel lucky to work at a nimble and flexible company like Macallan Construction, a division of The Macallan Group, where we can continue to move large and smaller projects forward and keep our teams and workers safe.
As Georgia and other states begin to re-open, these are the top three considerations developers and construction companies must keep in mind when building and completing commercial projects through year-end.
1. Protection is Required
While much of commercial construction takes place outdoors, often, construction workers will stand shoulder-to-shoulder to support their co-workers or to study an issue or even just have lunch. Construction workers must feel safe.
It will be incumbent on the general contractor and construction supervisors to bone up on the latest OSHA requirements and provide what is needed on the job site, including masks or face shields, gloves, temperature checks and the ability to wash hands, etc. – whether the job is outdoor construction or interiors. In addition, suppliers who may come and go from the site should receive information on how to protect themselves and what procedures must be followed for their visit to the site.
Given the fact that there may be a resurgence of the virus in the fall, personal protective equipment (PPE) will be essential for workers to feel safe. In addition, they will need to know how to safely dispose of this equipment and where PPE can and cannot be placed for disposal.
2. Adjusting Work Hours
Most active construction sites and interior buildouts are constantly working against the clock to finish on time or even ahead of schedule. With the unpredicted outcome of the virus this fall, now is the time to negotiate with the developer on adjusted work schedules, where you may have longer hours on the job site with fewer workers.
3. Communication is Critical
Post health and wellness information in multiple locations around the job site, be it at time clocks, break areas, bathrooms, etc., reminding workers of the importance of following healthy habits.
Use technology to your advantage – be it group text services, Microsoft Teams, Zoom calls or a mass email to workers. If a worker shows up with signs of the virus (cough, high temperature or any of the four other signs), the job site must be prepared to have a number of dedicated people focused on contact tracing with every person who may have been near that co-worker.
To ensure you’ve thought of everything, I highly recommend using the great resources available at OSHA. In addition, ABC Georgia has COVID-19 Resources, including links with useful information and access to online webinars.”
Bill Tracy, General Superintendent and Safety Trained Supervisor for Macallan Construction
Tracy is responsible for coordinating all aspects of project completion in a timely and cost-effective manner, as well as enforcing all safety and quality control policies and procedures as they apply to Macallan Construction projects. Tracy’s 18 years of construction experience has led to successes in many commercial markets from corporate interiors to higher education classroom buildings and is experienced in constructing buildings with the latest in “smart” technology. As a Safety Trained Supervisor, he brings expertise in leading teams to zero harm on his projects.
What’s your construction specialty?
Problem-solving!
What attracted you to the construction industry?
My parents owned a custom homes business (and still do in Houston). Growing up, I would help with keeping the sites clean and doing miscellaneous things they wanted me to do. I knew it was a great fit when I started studying construction engineering in college. What keeps me attracted to the industry now is the organized flow of multiple people working on a project site and orchestrating the process.
What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
The Logan Farm House in Acworth, Georgia. It was the first opportunity I had to really run with a project. It turned out wonderful and I made a lot of long-lasting connections from it.
What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Try to learn something new every day! Before asking for help, exhaust every resource available to you, and rely on your trade contractors and site supervisors to help make decisions that are in the project’s best interest. You may not know everything but it sure helps to know the people to call! Don’t tell people what they want to hear, but what they NEED to hear, and do it in a way that makes them feel good about it!

I’m currently learning to play piano, mountain biking as much as I can, and my golf index is a 9!
