W.E. O’Neil construction is evidently proud of the work they have done so far on Dove Mountain’s Ritz-Carlton resort.
Proud enough to calculate the number of yards of concrete they have poured, pounds of rebar they placed and feet of cable they laid — and provided additional context for those numbers.
The company sent us a mailing stating these fun facts:
