Curtis Lumber Staff Tracks Development Projects, Help Companies Find Right Products

Posted onFebruary 14, 2019February 15, 2019
Curtis Lumber employees Margie Miller and Jonathan Wilkinson do research.

By Greg Hitchcock
It all started with a sawmill. In 1827, Captain Isaac Henry Curtis built his sawmill on Charlton Road and by it’s 125th anniversary in 2015, Curtis Lumber Co. grew to over 600 employees in 21 locations in New York and northern Vermont.
It had $200 million in sales in 2018, according to the company.
Aside from selling materials, part of the company’s effort goes to working with builders and design teams to see what projects are going on and how Curtis Lumber can help them.
Margie Miller, architectural representative for Curtis Lumber, said the company’s success couldn’t have happened without a strong, knowledgeable sales team and good customer service from the Curtis Lumber team.

Construction Group Says Employment Numbers Rose In January, And 2018 Overall

Posted onFebruary 14, 2019February 15, 2019

Construction employment increased by 52,000 jobs in January and by 338,000 jobs, or 4.7 percent, over the past year, while the latest reading on construction spending showed moderate increases in all major categories, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America. (AGC).
Association officials urged government officials to strengthen career and technical education programs and facilitate immigration for workers with construction skills before a worker shortage stalls completion of needed infrastructure.
“There has been no letup in demand for construction projects—or workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Even though the industry added employees at more than double the pace of the overall economy in the past year, the average workweek in construction reached an all-time high and unemployment in construction hit a series low, indicating that contractors would hire even more workers if they were available.”

By. R.J. DeLuke

Birdseye Design of Richmond, Vt., was the architect on the project and was also bestowed the honor.
According to Birdseye, the structure is a private residence on Brant Lake, owned by the same family for four generations. The five-acre site is had two existing boathouses, a tree-lined carriage road, and a vintage waterfront cabin.
“This lake house for two families was an early favorite among the jury. It was one of the few projects that thoroughly redefined its site with the introduction of a new building that clearly contrasted in scale and expression with the existing buildings on the site, casting them into entirely new light” said the comments from the jury that reviewed all award submissions and selected the winners.

By Rachel Phillips

The Fitzgerald Morris Baker Law Firm is preparing to move their Glens Falls offices.

The firm currently rents space at 16 Pearl St., but is bound for downtown space at 68 Warren St.

Until recently, 68 Warren St. served as the headquarters for Genpak, a food packaging manufacturer. When Genpak announced its decision to move its headquarters to Charlotte, N.C., managing partner of the FitzGerald Morris Baker Law Firm, John Aspland Jr., saw it as an opportunity for his firm.  They bought the building.

With a history dating back over 90 years, FitzGerald Morris Baker has been serving the community both in and around Upstate New York, and has seen great growth and success, according to the firm. Aspland said the acquisition of a new office will help facilitate positive growth. They bought the building.

“The idea is, when you make a step in one direction, and you have a plan in mind for five or 10 years down the road, you can see where you’re going. If you can find a space that allows you to develop a floor-space plan for growth, you can take steps to get where you want to be,” said Aspland.

Posted onFebruary 14, 2018February 15, 2018

By Jill Nagy

Altek Energy Systems Inc. is seeking bids for construction of an office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility in Queensbury. The new building would accommodate the former Fort Edwards Fire Sprinkler Co. that Altek purchased four years ago.

The sprinkler company was on the verge of going out of business when Altek purchased it, according to company president Mike O’Connor.

Altek has nursed it back to life and expects 2018 sales to be triple those of the year it was acquired. Currently, the sprinkler division accounts for about one-quarter of Altek’s revenues, he said.

The new building will be constructed on a 1.7-acre site in the Carey Industrial Park off Northway Exit 18.
