SPECIAL INTEREST
GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZATIONS
There are rooms at trade shows where people simply just check their phones.
And then there are rooms where the future of an industry hangs in the air. At the Small Business Administration breakfast during the LBM Expo, it was the second kind. Builders leaned forward. Yard owners stopped whispering. Manufacturers put their coffee cups down. When Lisa Shimkat, Associate Administrator of Field Operations for the U.S. Small Business Administration, stepped to the podium, it didn’t simply feel like a government official addressing an audience. It felt like the industry finally being invited into the conversation.

LEGACY BUILDERS' EDTION VOLUME I EDITION I
The latest issue of Built America Magazine | West is led by an exclusive feature on Rolex, setting the tone for the Legacy Builders Edition with a masterclass in timeless design, precision, and enduring excellence. Featuring S&S Homes, Bergman Build LLC, Forged Construction, and more, this edition celebrates the builders and brands whose work is defined not by trends—but by legacy.
EDITOR'S PICK
In construction, legacy is not an abstract idea.
It is concrete, steel, wood, and responsibility.
Legacy is measured in projects that outlive their creators. In structures that carry families, businesses, and communities forward long after the final inspection is complete. For builders and developers, time is not theoretical. It is measured in schedules honored, systems that perform, and reputations earned over decades of decision-making.
It is within that context that Rolex has long held relevance among legacy builders.
Founded in 1905, Rolex was built on a singular conviction: that excellence is achieved not through shortcuts or trends, but through uncompromising standards, technical mastery, and long-term vision.
