Knuckle Dragger BBQ is a competition barbeque team new on the BBQ scene in
2019. Sponsored by eVolve MEP and Applied Software, the team is comprised of
eVolve MEP staff. It was organized to drive fellowship amongst staff members, support
charities, and provide an opportunity to hang out with customers in a casual
environment.
On its website, the International Barbeque Cookers Association lists the three main categories for competition as ribs, chicken and brisket and reports that the categories are “very competitive.” Knuckle Dragger BBQ has already competed three times, garnering awards for brisket and chicken. Each award carries with it points, which are tallied at the end of the competition year (July 1 through June 30) to name top winners of “Cook of the Year.” The Knuckle Dragger BBQ team will participate in additional competitions later this fall.
As the team is fully funded, all revenues from awards and merchandise sales are contributed to the Applied Software Employee Relief Fund (ERF). The ERF is being developed to provide financial assistance to the Applied Software and eVolve MEP staff family during circumstances of special need, such as medical or natural disaster. The ERF is still in development, and other sources are expected to join Knuckle Dragger BBQ in making financial contributions to the fund. The team is also available to support other charities or events for customers. For more details, contact Brett Stacks at brett.stacks@evolvemep.com .

We are an industry where machine and computer power enhance the work of the person, in many cases, making the very jobs we undertake possible. Modeling wouldn’t be feasible if not for the computing power of today’s equipment, from Robotic Total Stations (RTS) units to laptops and cranes.
Making the investment in Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems can transform construction operations from the start of any project, leading to more efficient use of time and materials in all phases of the build, including long after the active construction project is completed. Through BIM, savings can be realized for the stakeholders in the project–from the building owner to subcontractors–and the operator of the structure benefits far into the future.
While economic situation brings focus on improving ways to increase efficiency in the workplace, these money-saving ideas should be in place during all times. They are best practices that not only save money, but they also save time and cut down on waste, which critical in these eco-aware times.
