Yesterday, the MBA Young Constructors Committee kicked off a new tradition with our first ever Co****le Tournament & Summer Party hosted at the MBA office! 🎉

We had great weather, great food, some friendly competition, and an even better turnout! A huge thank you to everyone who came out, competed, cheered each other on, and helped make the event such a success. 

Events like this are a great way to bring our members together, have a little fun, and connect outside of the office.

Safe to say… co****le will be back next summer! 🏆☀️

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 26th for the Iron Workers Local No. 3 Apprenticeship Open House & 3rd Annual Ironworker Festival!

Think your crew has what it takes? Register your team of 2–4 Journeyman Ironworkers and/or Apprentices to compete and test your skills.

Step up to the challenge and earn ultimate bragging rights by becoming the 2026 Champions!

Every structure tells a story, and America's story has been built by generations of skilled craftsmen, builders, and construction professionals.
For 250 years, builders have transformed ideas into the places that move our country forward.🏗️

Here in Pittsburgh, we're proud to continue that tradition as we build stronger communities and what's next for our region.

As we celebrate our independence and America's 250th birthday, we must always honor our past while continuing to build our future.

From all of us at the Master Builders' Association of Western Pennsylvania, have a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🎆

🌸 Our next Hard Hat Mom Spotlight is Jennifer Landau, President of Landau Building Company! Jen embodies the definition of being a working mom in the industry. Starting as a co-op student at Landau in 1999, Jen has worked her way up through various roles (project engineer, estimator, project manager, and vice president) before recently becoming president. 💪 

Jen has a daughter at home and strives to be a voice for other women in the industry: “In construction not every decision comes with all the information. Trust your experience, ask the right questions, and move forward with confidence.” 

Thank you Jen for leading by example and making the construction industry a better place! ✨

🌸 Our next Hard Hat Mom Spotlight is Kyra Sarver of TEDCO Construction Corporation! 🌸 

If you have been to any industry event, odds are that you have bumped into Kyra! She takes her role as VP of Client Relations to the next level - always finding the time to stop into an event, engage in meaningful conversations, and create real relationships! ✨ 

Kyra shows the same kind of enthusiasm at home with her daughter, Goldie, and said this when asked about the balance of work and being an involved mom at home: 
“Rather than thinking of it as “balancing” work and home life, I prefer a more integrated, harmonious approach—being open with colleagues and clients while recognizing that we all have priorities beyond work. At the same time, I believe strongly in setting boundaries and being intentional with my time. I make it a point to dedicate certain evenings each week to my daughter, because being present for those moments is just as important as showing up professionally. (So if you’re planning an event, Tuesdays are already spoken for 😊)”

Thank you Kyra for your commitment to our industry and your family! 

🌸Join us in celebrating our first hard hat mom spotlight, Angela Tignanelli, GSP, Safety Director at Fazio Mechanical Services, Inc. | FMS Construction, Inc. 👷‍♀️

Over the last 10 years in the construction industry, Angela’s journey has extended far beyond the jobsite. When asked how she balances career and family, she shared:
“Balancing work and family means knowing when to be fully present in each role. You don’t have to choose between being dedicated at work and present at home. You can be both –“ ✨

Thank you Angela for your commitment to our industry and your family!

The MBA Green Builders & Young Constructors Committees took time on Friday to celebrate 🌳Earth Day🌳 and give back to our community! The committees teamed up with The Allegheny County Parks Foundation to plant 150 trees at South Park.
We are thankful for our continued partnership with ACPF and for our amazing MBA committee members for taking time out of their busy schedules to volunteer for a great cause.🌻
