We’re excited to see Joe Kuykendall featured in AGC San Diego’s Affiliate Member Spotlight!

Joe has spent more than 17 years with Scholefield Construction Law, combining his background as a licensed contractor with years of experience helping construction businesses navigate contract, payment, and project-related challenges.

His spotlight also shares a piece of OPD’s story.

Scholefield Construction Law has long been committed to strengthening the construction industry through education on contracts, claims, risk, and best practices. That commitment eventually led to the creation of a separate training company, Onsite Pro Development.

Today, OPD carries that educational mission forward through practical workshops, on-site team training, and Subcontractor Summits designed to give construction professionals skills they can apply in the real world.

We’re glad to see Joe sharing his experience and a little more about SCL with the AGC community. Thank you to AGC San Diego for highlighting its Affiliate Members and the work they’re doing throughout the construction industry!

Obstacles are part of every project, every career, and every business.

What matters is what you do when you reach one.

Sometimes you climb it. Sometimes you work through it. Sometimes you find another way around it.

The path may change, but the goal doesn't have to.

After attending y|GEN's The Next Horizon panel discussion, Amber reflects on a few of the takeaways that stood out to her.

Industry and community leaders tackled everything from the future of Chula Vista to the realities of housing affordability for young professionals.

But some of the biggest takeaways weren't just about development. They were about showing up with solutions, staying curious, finding mentors, and learning how to have a voice in the conversations shaping our future.

Indemnify. Defend. Hold harmless.

Three phrases you've probably seen buried in a subcontract. But do you know how much risk may be hiding behind them?

Indemnity provisions can be some of the most important language in your subcontract, yet they're also some of the easiest to skim over. And the risk doesn't always appear under a section conveniently labeled "Indemnity."

Damaged work. Additional insured requirements. Flow-down obligations. Responsibility for other trades. Different provisions can potentially shift costs and responsibility onto your business in ways you may not immediately recognize.

The key isn't just knowing which words to look for. It's learning to ask a bigger question:

"Am I agreeing to take responsibility for something outside my scope, control, or mistakes?"

Our latest article breaks indemnity down into plain English, explains what subcontractors should pay attention to, and explores ways to push back on overly broad risk-shifting language.

There's a building in LA's Exposition Park that looks less like it's standing and more like it's about to lift off.

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

Its sweeping, futuristic form asked engineers and construction teams to go far beyond the challenges of a typical major build, turning an ambitious architectural vision into something that could actually stand.

What an incredible morning supporting our veterans!

Last Saturday, Onsite Pro Development was proud to join the Associated Subcontractors Alliance FLEX Squad for the Wounded Warrior Project Carry Forward 5K- and we're especially proud to share that the FLEX Squad finished as the #1 Fundraising Squad! 🎉

A special shoutout to FLEX Squad leader Oliver Craig, who raised an incredible $10,375 this year and finished as the #2 individual fundraiser, and Amber Webb, who raised $3,425.00 and finished as the #3 individual fundraiser! 👏

This year’s Carry Forward 5K brought together 2,500 people, the event's largest turnout yet, all walking, jogging, and running in support of wounded veterans and their families.

Throughout the course, participants carried flags, weights, and reminders of who they were there to honor. It was an incredibly touching morning and a powerful example of what can happen when a community comes together for a meaningful cause.

Thank you, Wounded Warrior Project, for the work you do to honor and empower wounded warriors and their families. ❤️🤍💙

⏰ NECA 2026 is getting closer... and so is your chance to take back control of your time.

You answered the emails. Handled the change orders. Put out the fires. Sat through the meetings.

But did you actually get to the work that mattered most?

If that sounds familiar, make plans to join Pam Scholefield at the National Electrical Contractors Association - NECA 2026 Convention in Las Vegas for Your Personal Critical Path.

📅 Wednesday, October 7
⏰ 8:00-8:50 a.m.

In just 50 minutes, Pam will show construction professionals practical strategies for deciding what deserves their time, managing competing priorities, and taking control of the workday instead of letting the workday control them.

Whether you're managing bids, change orders, people, procurement- or all of the above- this session is designed to help you end the day feeling accomplished instead of wondering where all those hours went.

50 minutes. A smarter way to work. And maybe a little more of your weekend back.
