Safety – It’s In Our DNA
Many words describe LandSouth – innovation, best-in-class, reliable. The list could go on and on. High on that list would be the words, “Committed to safety”. The commitment to safety is part of who we are at LandSouth Construction. Corey Drake, LandSouth’s Safety Specialist grew up around safety. You can say that safety is in […]
Safety – Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk
Often, we overlook the obvious and operate on autopilot. We know the steps we have to take and see them as common sense. Think about the things we do or don’t do every day that seem like a no-brainer. We look both ways before crossing the street. We use potholders when taking something out of […]
Look To The Past to Plan For The Future
It’s over (fingers crossed)! Hurricane season has finally come to an end. At least we think it has. If we learned anything in 2020, it’s that the unexpected is likely to happen. There have been more than 30 named storms this year, and several occurred much later in the year than is the norm. In […]
It’s Not Just What You Tell Them; It’s How You Tell Them
Hurricanes aren’t like other disasters. People know about them days before they happen. They shift, strengthen, and sometimes go away. For days, people are in a state of flux.

Businesses seem to always be talking, especially in a time of crisis. The issue is – are they talking to the right people? Communications and important messages mean nothing if they aren’t heard and understood by the right people. Think about hurricanes. In Florida, we have become desensitized to hurricanes. Many don’t take them seriously […]
Time to Plan: Hurricane Season
It’s that time of year again- Hurricane Season. We know it comes the same time every year. And yet, many of us find ourselves personally unprepared. In our homes, we don’t have our kits prepared and the supplies we need. In the construction industry, all too often we don’t have the processes and protocols in […]
