The Construction Source America

The Construction Source America Welcome to the latest issue of Construction Source America, where we highlight the best of the best in building and building products across the United States. In this edition, we look at a spectrum of companies and organizations across America’s building sector. This time out, our features are particularly diverse – they include an industry-leading lighting design firm, a world-class ca- sino and resort, and a heavy equipment playground. The lighting design firm is Lighting Design Alliance , an internationally-known, full-service company that has de- livered thousands of lighting projects across the United States, to clients including Disney and Universal Studios. Over their 20 years in business, they have wonmore than 300 industry awards for their industry-leading work. We talked to founder and CEO Chip Israel about that history and recognition, and also about some of the misconcep- tions about lighting design – namely, the idea that it’s prohibitively expensive. He wants builders and owners to know that lighting designers can make their product better at an affordable price. The casino, meanwhile, is the Atlantic Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nevada. Over the years, their facilities have been in a constant state of rejuvenation and improve- ment, and that’s never been truer than today. We talked to Director of Facilities Perry Sanders about that con- tinuous evolution, the resulting acclaim, and their com- pany’s vision to be “not just the best place in Reno, but the best place in Nevada.” Then there’s the heavy equipment playground – Dig This (Las Vegas.) That’s a space where kids and grown-ups can drive real earthmoving machines. On TripAdvisor, they are Vegas’ number one rated venue for ‘Fun & Games.’ We talked to owner Ed Mumm about that achievement, about how the company has safely adapted to the pan- demic, and about his exciting vision for the future. For more on those stories – and more stories like them, from across the construction spectrum – just keep on reading. All the best, The Editorial Team We will keep adding business units that enhance our offering and separate us from our competition. “ ” Editor From The Dear Reader,
