FEBRUARY 2026 Curry Construction All Employee Meeting
On Friday, February 20, 2026, Curry Construction employees gathered for another focused and forward-moving All Employee Meeting. From operational improvements and policy reminders to safety training and technology updates, the afternoon reinforced what keeps this company strong: accountability, communication, and looking out for one another.
Here’s a full recap of what was covered — and celebrated.
Lunch & Networking
The meeting kicked off at 12:30PM with lunch, giving crews, shop employees, office staff, and field leaders the opportunity to sit down together before diving into updates.

Estimating Update
Mike discussed the importance of generating new construction leads—and emphasized that leads don’t just come from the office or sales calls.
Opportunities often start with conversations in the field, in the community, or through long-standing relationships. If you see something developing, speak up. Growth has always been built on relationships and reputation.
Operations Update
The major operational focus: Assignar— a new tool designed to streamline scheduling, communication, and site documentation.
- What Assignar Will Do
- The goal is simple: better planning and better execution.
- Key Features
- Jobsite Map and address visibility
- Detailed Task Breakdowns
- Notes section with attached instructions
- Work Order Information
- “Team” tab showing everyone assigned to the task
- Clickable Employee Contact Information (helpful for coordination of carpooling)
- Assigned roles (Operator, Welder, etc.)
- Shift time visibility
- Notification tab for new assignments
- The objective is to
- Improve planning
- Increase scheduling accuracy
- Document activity
- Reduce inefficiencies
- The target rollout is the first week of March, with schedules pushed out two weeks at a time. That level of visibility helps everyone prepare, not react.
Safety Training
Tony Sproles led a critical safety discussion on ergonomics in construction.
- 28% of construction injuries are related to poor ergonomics and improper lifting.
- Key reminders
- Maintain a neutral spine
- Lift with your legs
- Avoid overreaching
- Keep wrists neutral
- Use material handling equipment
- Perform tandem lifts when needed
- Communicate during lifts
- Preparation matters
- Stretch before starting work
- Check your path of travel
- Adjust work heights to waist level when possible
- Most strains don’t happen because the job is heavy—they happen because we rush or take shortcuts. Do it right the first time.
Kevin Moran addressed a topic that deserves serious attention: impairment in the workplace.
According to the National Safety Council, impairment is not limited to substance misuse. It includes:
- Alcohol
- Opioids
- Cannabis
- Fatigue
- Physical Stress

Impairment is any condition that prevents someone from functioning safely. Recognize it. Address it. Speak up. Safety depends on clarity—physically and mentally.
