2019 BBB Torch Award Recognizes Snyder Building Construction for Commitment to Ethics

October 21, 2019
Written by: Audrey Wilson

We’re honored to announce we’ve been named winner of the prestigious 2019 Better Business Bureau (BBB) Torch Award for Ethics in the Small Business category. Hosted annually by the BBB Serving Denver and Central Colorado, the awards honor companies who demonstrate high level of personal character and ensure that their organization’s practices meet the highest standards of ethics, and consequently generate trust.

Awards criteria were based on the six Principles of TRUST!, high ethical standards developed by the BBB. These criteria included strong leadership, culture of high character, unifying the team, high competency management strategies to steer performance, honoring the intrinsic value of people, and community engagement.

“We’re humbled to receive a BBB Torch Award,” said Rich Snyder, president and founder of Snyder Building Construction. “It feels good to be recognized for doing the right thing.”

Twenty two applications were submitted for the small business category for the 2019 cycle. During review, each business was thoroughly vetted and were in good standing with the BBB. Applications were judged by an independent panel of board members and past winners.

The awards dinner was held at Infinity Park Event Center in Glendale, Colorado last Thursday, October 17, 2019.

This past Sunday, CrossPurpose officially opened its doors alongside Providence Bible Church. While classes for the non-profit have been going on for a couple weeks, the grand opening marked the official opening for the community. We joined in on the festivities to celebrate! Take a peek at the photos to see how the space turned out.

The grand opening culminated years of growth and expansion for CrossPurpose and serves as an important milestone for the organization’s unique and important work of abolishing relational, economic, and spiritual poverty through career and community development in Denver.

Aligned with its mission, CrossPurpose wanted to open a headquarters that was designed in community. The 56 walls display their values through quotations, verses, and custom community art. Chief Executive Officer Jason Janz and his team were intentional at all phases of the design process to feature diverse voices, input and leadership for the overall design aesthetic, layout and artwork. As a place-based organization, all of the art is from Denver-based artists. The new facility displays the art of inmates, historic residents, and children.

“We are thrilled to provide a place for the voices of our neighborhood artists to be seen and heard,” said Jason Janz, chief executive officer of CrossPurpose.

On the construction side, this 16,000 square-foot, tenant improvement project included new glass-enclosed offices featuring all DIRTT systems, spacious classrooms, a community café, and airy sanctuary. Both café and sanctuary show off beautiful wood cloud ceiling elements.

Matt Redick was the senior project manager on the job and Johnny Jones took the reins as superintendent. Together they truly delivered a wonderful space in collaboration with our friends at CrossPurpose. In Matt’s words, “It was an absolute pleasure working alongside the CrossPurpose team on this project. There’s a great deal of satisfaction for us bringing new life to a building that will allow this wonderful organization to serve the community.”

The interior remodel was developed by Principal Architect Michelle Miller, AIA, Interior Designer Annie Pratt, and 3D Graphics and Production Lead Ron Sieh of Jigsaw Design (www.jigsawdesignllc.com). Michelle recognized early on “the team at Cross Purpose had a clear vision for a space that was inviting and spoke to the culture and heritage of the people in the NE Denver community, whose lives are being benefited by the services that the non-profit provides. We worked closely with them to make this vision a reality through the use of color, pattern, texture and art.”
