Sterling Custom Homes helping make wishes with $2,500 donation to Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central and South Texas

For Sterling Custom Homes’ employees, being supported by management means more than just being able to take time off or receiving appropriate health or dental benefits; it’s also about being supported in the employee’s efforts to make an impact in the community. This was recently demonstrated when the Austin home builder made a $2,500 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central and South Texas, a nonprofit that grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. The $2,500 was a matching donation by one of the company’s employees, Gary Grambley, the company’s Sales and Marketing Director.

Gary is training for November’s Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon and when he approached Duke McDowell, Sterling Custom Homes’ President, about the Austin luxury real estate company supporting his efforts, Gary was pleasantly surprised to learn that the company would be more than willing to support him.

Gary initially asked for $1,000 to help jumpstart his fundraising efforts and was instead told that the company would match the first $2,500 that he was able to raise. Since then, Gary hasn’t had much trouble convincing his friends and associates to join in on the giving and help him reach his goal.

After learning of Sterling’s willingness to match their donations, people were eager to help. To date, Gary has raised $5,740 and will continue fundraising until the Marathon this November.

Light Up Atlanta Receives Inspiration from Atlanta Kitchen

Earlier this summer, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority riders got to experience art made of DuPont Corian throughout several of the Atlanta train stations.

These Light Up Atlanta installations were fabricated and installed by Atlanta Kitchen and C.H. Briggs. Among them was the Seed Bench at Peachtree Center, designed by Kellen Minor.

“Corian is often thought of as simply a countertop surface,” said Mitch Hires, co-owner of Construction Resources. “The Light Up Atlanta installations show the true versatility of Corian as well as the talent of the Atlanta design community.”

The Light Up Atlanta project was commissioned by C.H. Briggs. Atlanta artists were asked to utilize Corian and concept a design revealing what Atlanta means to them. Minor created the Seed Bench through his experiences moving to the city as a young creative. He likens it to the germination of a seed. Blue and white LED lights were used to simulate roots and leaves, which are a metaphor for growth and opportunity.

Atlanta Kitchen received sheets of DuPont Corian and set to work fabricating the material according to Minor's design. Corian is a durable and flexible solid surface material that is suitable for many design applications.

Grambley aims to raise $5,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central and South Texas.

No Job Too Unique for Construction Resources

While new residential and commercial construction is the norm for Construction Resources, no job is too unique for them to tackle. The Atlanta construction product and remodeling company just completed a project on a historic home in Newnan, Ga.

The 160-year-old Moss Home has an interesting story. It once sat on the outskirts of the city in Coweta county, until it was eventually moved in town. The Newnan-Coweta Historical Society recognized the importance of preserving the homes stunning architecture, and at one time owned the home.

Now under a new owner, the house has undergone a facelift. Construction Resources provided several elements of the historic estate, including limestone countertops, a marble-covered island in the kitchen as well as marble vanities and glass shower doors in the master suite.
