IT'S WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION WEEK

In 2020, only 10% of the construction industry was made up of women. At W.M. Schlosser, we encourage the growth of women in the construction industry, and we are working hard to change that.

Today we want to highlight all the great women in the construction industry and the importance they make in our workforce.

We want to send out a special thank you and celebrate all the great women at W.M. Schlosser who make an impact at home, in the office, and out in the field.

W.M. SCHLOSSER, INC IS HONORED TO BE AWARDED WITH THE 2021 STEP GOLD CERTIFICATE FOR SAFETY EFFORTS AND RESULTS.

Client Feedback

“MDTA appreciates the kind words for the team and our partners. Schlosser’s staff both on site and office staff were very professional, respectful and knowledgeable. We as a team were able to bring this contract to a close both under the original duration completion date as well as under budget and that my friend is an accomplishment to be proud of. MDTA hopes to see W.M. Schlosser bidding more MDTA contracts in the future.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR FIELD EMPLOYEES - EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR 2020
FROM THE DESK OF ANDY SCHLOSSER

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all their efforts throughout the year. The success of our company is built on the efforts of our employees.

It has been so reassuring to know that we can count on all of you regardless of what faces us. We offer our best wishes and happiness to you and your families as we celebrate the holidays. We believe with the recent achievements to fight COVID-19, that 2021 will be much easier for everyone. We know that 2021 will bring us all new challenges.

But having the best employees will make 2021 another great year.

Hat Day Friday Goes On

In the face of adversity this team of “Professionals?” was able to pull of not only getting almost 30 people on a conference call, but we shared some fun, laughs (mostly at ourselves) and a little video. Stay tuned next week and meet the animals of our employees!

Stay tuned and ya’ll be safe! Washing your hands and social distancing! We’ll be back to normal faster!

COVID-19 Notice

Due to the increased heightened restrictions by Governor Hogan and the State of Maryland, effective immediately only employees will be allowed to access our offices until further notices. Project sites that are still working will adhere to the same restrictions. Meetings will be held via video or audio conferencing. Any on-site meetings that must be held on-site will be held outside unless there are less than 5 people and we are able to keep the social distancing to 6’. We are doing this in an effort to protect our employees and their families. We know these are extreme measures but we are experiencing something that we’ve never experienced before.

Thanksgiving is all about giving back to the community at W.M. Schlosser

This year, W.M. Schlosser provided 55 entire Thanksgiving meals to the families and the staff at the Cecil Kirk Community Center. Our team will be painting the Cecil Kirk Community Center, to help out even further.

We also want to thank the Maryland Transit Administration and the team at the Kirk II project for their help this year! It was such a fulfilling experience!

Topping Out Ceremony at the Richmond International Airport

On Oct. 24, 2019 WM Schlosser Construction Company held a topping out ceremony at the Richmond International Airport. WMS is constructing an extension to Concourse A, which will give the Airport Authority six additional gates. WMS would like to thank the Capital Airport Authority, Gresham Smith and Partners (Architects), CP&Y (CM), Daniels & Associates (Structural Engineers), Chesapeake Bay Steel, Trinity Steel (Erectors) and all the other subcontractors that made this possible.

Topping Out Ceremony at the Kirk II Bus Transportation project in Baltimore

The last truss fabricated and erected by Kinsley Construction, Inc has been placed on the roof of the building and marks a milestone in phase II of the project. The new Bus Storage Facility will consist of parking for approximately 145 buses, fueling, vaulting, and bus wash services for single buses. What a great day for a ceremony with a lot of sunshine to celebrate such a big accomplishment.
