W.E. O'Neil Construction

It hasn’t been a full year since our #Centennial, and we’re already feeling nostalgic. 2025 was a year-long celebration of everything we’ve achieved together in our first 100 years: building meaningful relationships, driving innovation, and growing alongside our people, valued clients, and trusted industry partners. 🏗️✨ Today we take a moment to remember all the ways we celebrated this extraordinary milestone together, from our history microsite and “A Century of Building Dreams” documentary, to festive parties and employee huddles, to our “100” photo contest and historical coloring book contest benefiting Habitat for Humanity, and many more. Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us and contributed to telling our stories! Here’s to building the next century together. 🥂 Explore our story (link in the comments). #WEO100 #WEValuePeople #WEBuildDreams

Rack on, Encinitas! 🎉✨ Nordstrom Rack has officially opened its doors at El Camino Promenade, and the Encinitas community in SoCal welcomed it with energy and excitement.

Big moves in Baton Rouge. 🚧🏗️ This 130‑foot, 60,000‑pound truss was set in just 7 hours to form the North Porte Cochere entry at Bally's Baton Rouge Casino. With only three foundations and a 1‑inch tolerance, the lift required absolute precision. After five crane plan revisions, the team successfully executed the installation using a 400‑ton crane, navigating tight site constraints and active underground utilities. A great example of what thoughtful planning and strong field coordination can achieve. Kudos to Brett Buscher, David Montenegro, Pat Kerrigan, and Nicholas Wroten for coordinating this effort during the scheduling and design process. 👉 More about this project in the comments.

From leadership insights to hands‑on training, we continue raising the bar on construction safety as we work toward a zero‑injury workplace. Safety Week sessions focused on what matters most—from the “Fatal Four” and heat prevention to the safe use of tools and equipment—ensuring everyone goes home safe, every day. 👉 Read more about Safety Week 2026 in the comments.  - 🔹 Did you know? 📊 According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, fatalities due to falls, slips, and trips decreased by 4.6% in 2024 (from 885 in 2023 to 844 in 2024).
