On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Nashville-based Brandon Mason, the president of BCMason Group about his work as a contractor on both community-based and large-scale projects in the city.
Mason said he grew up around construction and after working across North America with other firms he set out on his own path, starting with projects in Nashville’s African-American neighbourhoods that reflect his commitment to giving back to his own community.
He’s also worked on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the area at varying levels of complexity and reflected on working on a project at Fisk University where his mother was once a student. Mason’s latest project was contributing to the National Museum of African American Music which he pointed to as an uplifting and collaborative experience with African-American construction firms working at all levels of the project.
