Bermal Contracting produces a breadth of stones, in a number of unique colors. The variety of textures and shades allow landscapers to create individualized and customized designs. From sleek and elegant to bold and rustic, landscaping with natural Canadian rock adds a rich natural finish to all outdoor design projects.
The black flagstone stone found in the quarry is a favorite among customers, and Bermal is the only quarry to produce this color in the region. This stone is often used in the terrain surrounding swimming pools, because it doesn’t contain rust and will not stain.
Bermal Contracting’s dark grey and light grey ledge stone differ from the traditional rust brown stone. Soft lines and smooth textures of the ledge stone reflect the rugged feel of the mountains.
This quarry also hosts a deposit of light cobalt blue rock. A very valuable rock, it is becoming very popular for decorative flair. The rock is often crushed and used in driveways, dry flower beds and as accent pieces. The excavation of this rock will be explored in the future, once the company becomes established, and is certain to expand the company’s market base.

Numbers are still being finalized, but Bermal expects to provide approximately 10 stone pallets, each weighing 2,800-3,000 pounds. Depending on the colour and quality, the pallets will retail for $450 to $1,000 each.

Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) reports that after 14 years of service Granite’s vice president and general counsel, Michael Futch, will retire on August 31. Terry K. Eller has been named vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, effective September 1. Eller will also be serving as Granite’s corporate compliance officer.
“Mike has been a tremendous asset to our executive management team over the past 14 years,” said Granite’s president and chief executive officer, William G. Dorey. “Mike was instrumental in the founding of the Construction Industry Ethics and Compliance Initiative, an association of the leading construction firms in the nation that is dedicated to promoting ethics and compliance in the construction industry. On behalf of all of us at Granite, we thank him for his many years of service and wish him all the best in retirement.

Granite Construction Company serves public- and private-sector clients through its offices and subsidiaries nationwide.
Builders FirstSource (Nasdaq:BLDR) seeks to be the leading supplier of structural building materials to homebuilders. The Company’s key to success is being able to give personal attention to the local builders’ job sites and also provide them with benefits that can only be offered by a large, national competitor. Builders FirstSource’s goal is to provide outstanding products and services to every customer, regardless of size. Builders FirstSource can offer its customers market leading products and services smaller competitors struggle to match.
In March 1998, a management team supported by JLL Partners, a private investment firm with committed capital of $2.2 billion, acquired Builders’ Supply & Lumber Company from The Pulte Corporation.
Builders FirstSource continues to grow through a combination of strategic acquisitions and internal expansion. Since March of 1998, the company acquired twenty-three companies, each of which was already an outstanding supplier to professional homebuilders in the markets they serve. The resulting organization generated pro forma revenue of approximately $2 billion, in 2004. As of December, 2009, boperates 55 distribution centers and 51 manufacturing facilities in 9 states.
Builders FirstSource will continue to acquire outstanding market leaders in the building products distribution industry. The scale of advantages of a large organization and the ability to spread best practices to newly acquired companies gives Builders FirstSource the opportunity to focus on the changing dynamics of today’s home delivery process. Builders FirstSource believes this focus is a strategic advantage in meeting, and even shaping, the evolving housing construction industry in the United States.
