I don't know what to do with this article. It has coverage that may or may not be significant, from sources that may or may not be reliable, and those sources also may or may not be independent. There are currently no sources in the article to even speak of. I have considered incubation but I don't think it is a good idea. Honestly, this article is probably inadequate to keep as an article because of the previously mentioned notability issues. Furthermore, it reads like an advertisement and Wikipedia has no tolerance for such articles. Too many peacock words. I advocate deletion. Mr. Guye (talk) 01:28, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – From the projects in the article you can tell that this is a major general contractor that should have a lot of coverage. Here are some sources.

This is plenty of material to write an article with. I'm also wondering what the peacock words were. – Margin1522 (talk) 04:30, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Additional source examples include:

BIM Handbook. pp. 557-558.
Architecture: Celebrating the Past, Designing the Future. p. 173
Top Workplaces: Beck Group cited for fostering innovation. Tampa Bay Times.

– Importantly, please see also section D of WP:BEFORE, and note that per WP:NRVE, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing within articles. Rather, notability is based upon the availability, reliability and depth of coverage of sources. NORTH AMERICA¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:19, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as article easily crosses the verifiability and notability thresholds. AfD is not clean-up. - Dravecky (talk) 10:24, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
