We’re excited to share our AIA Arizona CANstruction 2026 build, created in collaboration with ARCHITEKTON and Holder Construction. Together, our team transformed more than 4,000 cans into a larger-than-life Gila monster snatching eggs from a 9-foot cactus—all in keeping with this year’s CANimals theme. The incredible builds from all the teams will be on display at Arrowhead Towne Center through August 21.

Beyond the design challenge, CANstruction is about giving back. All the canned food will be donated to St. Mary’s Food Bank after the event.

A huge thank you to ARCHITEKTON, Holder Construction, and our PK Associates Structural Engineers who helped turn a pile of cans into something a little more monstrous.

Our build is eligible for the People’s Choice award! Vote at: https://www.canstructionphx.org/events/canstruction-metro-phoenix-2026

Our team is always reaching new heights—sometimes literally. Armando Aguirre and Cole Ferris marked this project milestone by signing a beam at the Central Arizona College Cultural and Performing Arts Center.
Located at CAC's Signal Peak Campus in Coolidge, this transformative project will feature a 1,000-seat theater, classrooms, arts studios, teaching facilities, banquet space, and gathering areas that will serve students and the community for years to come.
We're proud to contribute to a facility that will inspire learning, creativity, and connection across Central Arizona.
Thank you to our project partners, Architekton, Chasse Building Team, and Dibble Engineering, as well as the many talented professionals helping bring this vision to life.

Sun, sand, and some serious competition at this year’s AIA Annual Volleyball Tournament.

The luau theme set the scene, but it was the teamwork and friendly rivalry with our industry partners that made the day truly memorable. Great matches, great people, and a gorgeous day to top it all off.

Already looking forward to next year!
