We’re looking forward to seeing the work happening across our projects.

It’s time to renew our First Aid/CPR/AED Certifications which are up in March 2026.

We have scheduled First Aid/CPR/AED Training for March 6th, 2026, at 1:00PM for all Superintendents and Forman’s. This is what we need to do if your project has a work schedule of 4x10’s your second in command (Forman’s) should attend this scheduled training session. If you’re working a normal schedule, please have your Forman’s stay on to run the project while you attend the training. We will have a second schedule training course on March 20th, 2026. Your project should not shut-down due to training, if you do not have a Forman, please contact your Project PE or PM to cover your project.

This is who I am expecting, please let me know if I am missing anyone (Forman’s).

🎃 Guard the Profit, Grow the Shares

This week we close out ESOPtober with the habit that makes the biggest impact:

protecting the bottom line.

Every gallon of fuel, every tool we maintain, every invoice paid on time, every hour we account for, it all adds up. Waste drains profit. Ownership grows it. The difference between the two is in the choices we make daily, on the jobsite and in the office.

Protecting the bottom line isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about running smart. Be sharp with resources, track the details, and treat every expense like it comes out of your own pocket, because in our ESOP, it does.

This week’s ESOPtober focus:
👉 Guard the resources. Grow the profit. Strengthen the shares.

💀 Everyday Habits = ESOP Strength

The biggest gains don’t always come from the big swings , they can also come from the small, disciplined moves made every day.  
Ownership in our every day habits.

In the field, it’s cleaning the jobsite, staging materials right, flagging hazards early, and properly maintaining equipment, even when it’s not in use. These small habits save money, prevent rework, and protect margins.

In the office, it’s the same mindset: shutting down computers and lights at the end of the day, double-checking details before sending, staying ahead on invoices and vendor payments, showing up prepared and starting meetings on-time to cut down on lost time, and consolidating order supplies to cut waste and avoid additional shipping fees. Each move may feel small, but together they stack up into big wins for Velocity and bigger value in our ESOP.

This week’s ESOPtober focus:
👉 Small Wins = Big Gains.

The details you own today protect profits tomorrow.
Build strong habits, build strong shares.

📩 Need assistance? Email ownership@velocityci.com

Every detail we get right the first time, in the field and in the office, drives value that lasts long after the project is done.

Cutting corners can cost more money. Quality creates wealth. When we double-check plans, document details, and finish strong, we protect our reputation, deliver for our clients, and stack long-term value into our ESOP.

This week’s ESOPtober theme:
👉 Don’t just get it done. Get it done right.

Every safe shift is a power move for our ESOP.

Every safe decision is an owner’s decision. On the jobsite or in the office, safety isn’t just about avoiding injuries, it’s also protecting our future. When we work sharp and stay alert, we cut down costs, keep projects moving, and drive up the value of our ESOP. From strapping in on site to double-checking details at the desk, every choice adds strength to the team and power to our shares.

This week’s ESOPtober theme is simple:
👉 Guard the crew. Guard the shares.

Keep it sharp, stay safe, and remember: Safety = Ownership.

It’s here.....ESOPtober 2025 has officially begun!

This month, we’re celebrating what makes Velocity different: ownership 
Every one of us is part of something bigger, building a future we own together.

💪 Being an owner isn’t just a title, it’s a mindset.
Ownership means showing up, stepping up, and treating every decision like it impacts our future because it does.

Throughout October, keep your eyes open for more spooky surprises and ESOP wisdom coming your way.

• Weekly “Think Like an Owner” Tips – quick, powerful reminders of how our daily actions fuel our success.

• Fun contests, games, and giveaways – because building wealth can be a treat, not a trick.

• Our Annual ESOP Celebration – Friday, October 31st from 12–3 PM. Food, recognition, prizes, and more!

Together, let’s make this ESOPtober one to remember.
