How the new overtime rule changes effect small businesses.

Whether it's single-family homes or shining entertainment venues, there is plenty of work for anyone looking to build a career in construction.
There is much to look forward to in terms of construction in Utah as we gear up for 2017. Make sure you don't miss out by keeping your contractor's license up to date.
