1). Manhattan holds Oklahoma business charter number one as the first business officially registered in the State in 1907.

2). We are still privately owned and under the Rooney family's fifth generation of leadership.

3). Although we are known for performing larger projects, 85% of our contracts fall under $20-million in total construction cost.
