Industry conferences such as the Southern Company Technical Conference also provide opportunities for owners and contractors to discuss upcoming capital programs and project requirements.

Why It Matters

Ames Construction’s participation places the contractor in direct discussions with stakeholders involved in power, energy, environmental and data center construction. For owners and developers planning projects in these sectors, contractor engagement during early planning stages can provide insight into construction execution, self-perform capabilities and infrastructure coordination requirements.
