Every year we attend the Summer Conference hosted by the Concrete Foundations Association of North America (CFA). This year we met in Williamsburg, Virginia. Lots of fun and exciting things happen at these conventions as we get to compare notes, so to speak, with other concrete contractors from around the country and evaluate what is working the best. The topics of focus this year were How to Revolutionize Your Work Force and How to Perfect Your Concrete.
The CFA does a great job of informing its members of relevant news and best practices for concrete contractors. It is a network of people who come together to discuss important changes, new advances and growth within our industry.
Herbert Construction has been a member of the CFA for 24 years. We are the only CFA member in Georgia.
At this convention we discuss foundations, codes and concrete. We also discuss many aspects of business and sales growth.
Doug Herbert was asked to give a sales and marketing presentation to the attendees. His presentation, How to Turn Your Website into a Super Salesman, shared some valuable lessons that Herbert Construction has learned as it redesigns it’s website.

National Award Winner
This year’s conference was a memorable one for all of us at Herbert Construction because we were awarded the CFA Project of the Year award for Private Residence – Greater than 5,000 square feet. This is our fifth year in a row to win a Project of the Year award from the CFA, and it is always a great honor for us.
Overall Safety Award

And that’s not all. We also won a second award from the CFA for Overall Safety Achievement for 2014. This was the first year that they have given safety awards and we were really glad to have won in the residential foundation category. We thought it only fitting to have Barry accept this award with his arm in a sling due to shoulder surgery the month before.
We had a great time at the convention and returned to Atlanta with a fresh perspective and ready to construct even better basements.
