Women supporting women isn’t just something we talk about at The Barton Group. It shows up in the way we work, the causes we support, the communities we’re part of, and the opportunities we help create.

It looks like women sitting around a set of plans and making decisions that move a project forward.

It looks like showing up for women’s heart health, building community through something as simple as a day on the disc golf course, and creating connections with other women in our industry.

It looks like investing in the next generation — whether that’s through youth athletics, supporting organizations like Girl Scouts, or inviting young girls onto a jobsite and giving them the opportunity to see construction up close, ask questions, learn how a project comes together, and imagine themselves being part of this industry someday.

For Amelia and Jennifer, being women in business has always meant more than simply owning a business.

It means showing up.
It means making room.
It means sharing what you’ve learned.
And it means helping the women and girls around you see what might be possible for them, too.

We’re proud of the projects we build, but we’re just as proud of the relationships, opportunities, and communities we get to build along the way.

Here’s to the women leading, mentoring, encouraging, building — and always making room for the next woman beside them. 💛

Meet Erin Schultz, TBG’s new Project Administrator! 👋

Erin brings a background in architecture from KVCC and the University of Michigan, along with seven years of experience owning Schultz Sweets, Inc. She’s also a Southwest Michigan First Chamber Ambassador and is working toward her real estate license.

Outside of work, Erin is a year-round sports mom of three, a DIY and home renovation enthusiast, and a Detroit Lions fan. She enjoys kayaking, getting creative, and chocolate—which deserves its own mention. 🍫

We’re excited to have her on board. Join us in welcoming Erin to the TBG team!

There's a perception that a small team can't offer the same support as a big firm.

Here's what you actually get with The Barton Group: us. Not an intern filling in for the summer — our experience, every step of the way.

We pride ourselves on caring. We want to work with people who are making our community a better place — and we're going to show up and do the right thing to make it easier on the owner. In the end, it's our name on it too.

That's what a solution provider does. 🤝

Really pumped to be a part of this project with some new industry partners and a teammate on Bogan Developments next phase of housing construction. Can't wait to share this project's progress throughout the next year!

The story of Zone 32 Phase II is getting out — and we are grateful for the coverage.

Both Second Wave Media and Crain's Grand Rapids covered last week's groundbreaking of Zone 32 Phase II, a $10.6 million project that will add 38 new workforce-affordable housing units to Kalamazoo's Northside. With studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units planned, and completion expected in fall 2027, this is a major milestone for the Northside and for Kalamazoo.

As Clarence Lloyd of the Southwest Michigan First Chamber said at the event: "This is how you rebuild a community."

It was a pleasure to attend buildHER, Custer's inaugural event created to connect, support, and celebrate women in the construction, design, and building industries.

Events like these provide valuable opportunities to build relationships, share experiences, and encourage the next generation of industry leaders. The Barton Group is proud to support initiatives that foster collaboration and help create more pathways for women to thrive in construction and related fields.

Thank you to Custer for bringing together such an inspiring group of professionals.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the people who build our communities. 🇺🇸

Behind every finished project are skilled hands, long days, years of experience, and professionals who take pride in doing the job right.

From the tradespeople on site to the superintendents, project managers, architects, engineers, suppliers, and countless others working behind the scenes—construction is truly a team effort.

At The Barton Group, we’re grateful to work alongside the talented men and women who turn plans into places where our communities live, work, gather, and grow.

Thank you to the construction professionals who keep building Southwest Michigan forward. Happy Labor Day!
