Ritz Construction Group Inc.

It is pretty quiet over here at No. 443 18th Avenue South most mornings before the crews get in. We have been working out of this spot for a while now and the office is mostly just a place to keep the files and park the trucks when they aren't out at a site. Most days, someone is here by seven to get the coffee going and check the schedule for the day. Ritz Construction Group Inc. isn't a big fancy operation with a glass front or anything like that. It is just us, a couple of desks that have seen better days, and a lot of mud on the floor when it rains. The neighborhood has changed a bit over the years but 18th Avenue South still feels the same to us. You get used to the sounds of the street and the people walking by. Sometimes the phone rings off the hook and other times we are just sitting here waiting for a delivery that is running late. That is just how the construction business goes. We spend more time looking at blueprints and arguing about the price of lumber than anything else. It is a lot of hard work and long hours, especially when the weather doesn't want to cooperate. We just keep at it, day after day, trying to get things done right so we can go home.
