The Award of Merit is the second highest award given in the Excellence in Construction Awards Competition. The awards will be presented at a formal event November 14.
Projects were judged on execution of design, craftsmanship, attention to detail, proper installation, evidence of extra ordinary effort, owner satisfaction, and other considerations. The award criteria aligns with Tharp Plumbing’s mission statement, which is “craftsmanship delivered on time, safely and within budget to establish trusting client relationships and repeat work that promotes both our clients and employees longevity, professional growth and prosperity”.

Interest and participation by employees and their children in Tharp Plumbing’s Children to College Program continues to grow with ten children active in the program this year! The company was pleased to host a large group of parents and their children at an orientation session to kick-off the 2009/2010 school year.
Because Tharp wants to promote the pursuit of college by as many of its employees’ children as possible, a major change was made to the eligibility requirements allowing children of employees with a minimum of two (2) years continuous employment the chance to participate. Tharp is impressed by the vision and goals of these young people and is excited to partner with them in achieving their dreams!
Jack Jennings & Sons Construction Services recently awarded Tharp Plumbing Systems the commercial plumbing work on the First United Methodist Church in downtown Orlando. This will be Tharp’s second project with Jack Jennings as the general contractor, and Tharp is optimistic about working with them on future projects.
Tharp Plumbing was pleased to go live with their new electronic timekeeping system on the July 31st payroll. Their employees made the transition exceptionally smooth by quickly adjusting to the new program. The new time capture system will provide Tharp with extremely accurate data to use for job estimates and save processing time for payroll. Tharp Plumbing thanks their employees for their cooperation and patience in implementing the new system!
