A Letter From Our VP to Our Team: 7 Non-Negotiables For 2026

As we step into 2026, I want every single one of you to know this: we are building something special together. This past year wasn’t easy, but we grew, we learned, and we pushed through challenges that could’ve broken weaker companies. You showed grit, pride, and loyalty — and that’s why we’re positioned to make 2026 our strongest year yet.

The construction industry demands excellence. It demands teams that don’t cut corners, leaders who own their work, and companies that stand by their commitments. That’s us. That’s what sets us apart.

Next year is about execution, discipline, and ownership. It’s about tightening the little things, showing up with the right attitude, and holding each other to the standard that makes our company the best in the industry — not just in our headquarters, but on every job site, in every community we serve.
In 2026, here’s our focus:

In 2026, here’s our focus: 

1. Show Up Ready. Be on time. Be prepared. Bring solutions, not excuses. Small habits separate great companies from average ones. 

2. Protect the Culture. 
We support, communicate, and operate like a family that’s moving in one direction — forward. 

3. Own Your Craft. What we do is dangerous, technical, and specialized. 
Every day you’re on a job, you represent the entire company. 
Take pride in your work and push yourself to be the best operator, tech, dispatcher, coordinator, or leader in the field. 

4. Safety Is Not a Slogan — It’s Survival. We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush. Every job ends with everyone going home the same way they came in. 

5. Take Care of Each Other. We are stronger when we communicate, help, and stay connected. 
Never let a teammate struggle alone — step up, step in, and support each other. 

6. Be Coachable. Stay Hungry. No one here is done learning. Not me, not you. We are going to invest in training, equipment, new technology, and expansion — but the mindset has to match the opportunity. 

7. Let’s Win Together. Our goal is simple grow, tighten up, and elevate everything we touch. 

2026 is our year to prove what this team is really capable of. 
I believe in this Team. 
I’m proud of this Team. 
And I’m ready to build a bigger, stronger, more unstoppable Aggregate Technologies with all of you. 

Let’s go make 2026 a year we look back on and say — “that’s when everything leveled up.”

— David Rogers, Vice President at Aggregate Technologies, Inc.
