Bruss Construction is very excited to bring you our new blog. We have so much passion for creating healthy, sustainable and beautifully built environments, that we felt this was a natural extension for continuing a dialogue with our customers, employees, community, and the world beyond.
First, a bit about who we are. In business for over three decades, Bruss Construction was founded by Michael Bruss, under the name Michael Bruss Builders. A passionate advocate for the environment and an accomplished craftsman, he built the foundation for Bruss Construction and took the company down the road of sustainability (and those were the days when that was the "road not taken"). Joined by his brother James, now CEO, the company launched itself forward and built a reputation and portfolio of past projects to be proud of. In late 2002, brother John Bruss completed the trio of Bruss brothers that own the company. He brought his extensive knowledge of commercial construction and now serves as VP/Senior Project Superintendent.

The fact that these three brothers found themselves together, running a business in the construction industry, is hardly surprising. They are proud third generation builders and were given a great introductory education by their father, Edwin Bruss. His picture hangs in the conference room at our office as a reminder of his wisdom, for those who knew him, and as a testament to our roots, for those who didn't.
We are proud of the work we do and the quality and professionalism of our employees, many of whom will be introduced in the coming weeks. So stay tuned to our blog for posts about architecture, interior design, sustainability, preservation, building technology, and much, much more. Thank you for reading.
Even your office looks like a great place! I am used to just sticking myself in a big office! Since you are so big on environmentally friendly building techniques, I was curious about what types of roofing you are using? Commercial roofing companies in my area have started suggesting metal roofs, claiming they are some of the most energy efficient, and longest lasting, but I am not sure of the look of them! Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment Eliza. Unfortunately, there isn't a clear sustainable solution. Metal roofing is often promoted for sustainability due to their long life. However, shingles are more energy efficient. They help with overall building operational costs. It comes down to individual preference. Which do you think is better?
