Is equipment close? Everything seems relatively accessable.
Are there idle workers?  Everyone seems to have a job and are doing it.
Construction Activities: Carolina Cast Stone is installing their pre-cast concrete siding. Piedmont Plaster and drywall are hanging drywall on the base level. Masons chipping hokie stone.
Does safety seem to be of importance?   Every worker is wearing a vest, hard hat, eye protection, boots, and long pants. Everyone in a boom lift or on a scaffold are wearing their harness' and are strapped in. The biggest visible safety concern is that there are two ladders that are not tied off.
