Builder Bob
My work at Clayco has never been just a job to me. There’s a lot of chemistry between the business, my life, and all the things that we do in the community—they’re all intertwined. The people that I meet are some of the most good-natured and remarkable people around, and many of them have become like family to me.
Together we work on a lot of projects and initiatives, and with many incredible subcontractors, all of which deserve recognition.
Here I will do just that, taking the opportunity to highlight the stories of people who are making a difference, as well as some standout projects and initiatives.

Topping Out The Standard at Columbia
I always love seeing the progress our teams are making on the ground, and I am excited that The Standard at Columbia in South Carolina is soon to be topped out! The 17-story, 443,000 square-foot housing tower downtown has taken a major step towards...
Our Crane at The Standard at Columbia
One of Clayco’s iconic cranes just went up at one of our project building sites, and every time it happens, I think it’s a reason to celebrate. To me, our cranes represent a lot of the hard work, determination, and bold commitment to progress that...
Clayco’s Growth in Phoenix
We’ve been hard at work recently on a lot of projects in Phoenix, including The Cubes at Glendale, Preflight Phoenix, and a new project with Scannell Properties that we broke ground on in April. It’s a rapidly expanding market that we’re really...
SUBCONTRACTOR SPOTLIGHT
Uzun + Case
Uzun + Case has been a trusted collaborator on many of Clayco’s projects, and it’s a prime example of the kinds of firms that we like to work with. Since its founding in 1993 by Tamer Uzun, Jim Case, Martin Cuadra, and Larry McDowell, Uzun + Case has grown to become one of the largest structural engineering firms in the country, and its extensive portfolio of projects is a testament to its excellence and commitment. With offices in Atlanta,...

Clayco’s West Coast Expansion
Clayco is experiencing record-breaking growth, and so much of what we are doing has been concentrated on the West Coast, including states like Nevada and Arizona. This area of the country is growing in almost every market sector, and it has emerged as a center of...
Mapping a Path Back Downtown – Crain’s Chicago
In spite of all the uncertainty that came with the past year, there is one thing I know to be true: working from home sucks. And it’s now time to get everyone back into the office as quickly and safely as possible. We have the tools to make this happen, and Clayco is...
The Future of Work at Clayco
As more people are getting vaccinated for COVID-19 and returning to offices, they are being greeted by both physical and policy changes in the workplace. Before Clayco employees are all back, I wanted to do two things: thank them for their extraordinary...
We love our cranes at Clayco! Here are some of them in action:

Willis Tower Transformation
One of the reasons I love Chicago so much is its magnificent architecture. There are few buildings as iconic as the revamped Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. When it was completed in 1974, it was the world’s tallest building – standing at 1,450 feet...
April’s Architect of the Month: Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill
Adrian Smith is an architect that I admire and have featured before on Bob Clark Beyond. The mind behind some of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the world, he also designed the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates, the world’s tallest …
