Colorado Construction Network

Our Annual Energy Lunch & Learn did not disappoint! Thank you so much to Kevin Longpre & Ancil Binoy of Harrison Home Systems, and Rusty Buick of Construction Instruction for imparting our group with a wealth of energy knowledge. They brought us all up to speed on the latest energy codes, debunked some myths, and introduced us to really cool ways to improve home performance and manage electricity use.

And, of course, the food was delicious and the networking was priceless! Thank you to everyone who shared their long lunch break with us, it was a pleasure to catch up with colleagues and make new connections!

We were honored to be able to lend a helping hand!

Our incredible friends at Colorado Construction Network Group recently completed a Blitz Build wheelchair ramp for Duane, and the impact was immediate.

One of the crew members shared - "Thanks to all of you with HBF for making these builds possible. It was a tremendous reward to see Duane come down the ramp out to his driveway. The sun was bright, but it didn't compare to his beaming smile!"

At 92 years old, Duane can only walk a few feet at a time. His new wheelchair ramp, built inside his garage, allows him to safely enter and leave his home using his rollator, manual wheelchair, or power wheelchair.

This project is about so much more than building a ramp—it's about restoring independence, confidence, and the freedom to come and go safely.

Thank you to all attendees who made CCN’s Day at the Beach a great event! While this is always one of our favorite events, there was an energy in the thin mountain air that seemed to make the day brighter and the food better.

Despite the challenging snowpack conditions, the open runs had surprisingly good snow. Clear skies and the warm sun made it feel like a real beach front event for most of the day.

As always, the best part of the day was getting to spend time together as friends rather than as clients/vendors/service providers. It is the hope of the CCN Sponsors, Board, and Executive Board that you all had a wonderful day, deepened existing connections, and were able to meet a few new people as well.
 
Thanks to our Sponsors for making the event possible, to all those on the Board who assisted throughout the day checking people in, bar tending, and keeping the food stocked. Special thanks to Keith Callender, Mike Kelly, Jon Williams, and Barb Hanson for preparing and delivering the food, and again to Keith for keeping it piping hot and ready to serve. Renee Boulet, Philip Eidenschink, and Kurt Winfield made sure that we had beverages, including what were apparently toe-curling Bloody Mary’s.

For the first time in three years the bus was essentially trouble free, considering the mostly clear roads and the presence of on-board facilities. Thanks to those who helped set and strike our “camp” for the day. We can’t wait for next year’s Day at the Beach! Find more photos of the event at our website Events Gallery.

Thank you to everyone who attended our sold-out 2026 New Year Kickoff Event! The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the drinks were flowing, and the live music was amazing. We also gave away some really awesome gifts again this year!

Cheers to a prosperous 2026 & we hope to see you in a couple of weeks at our A-Basin Ski Day!
