RELENTLESS FORWARD MOMENTUM
In the rugged wilderness, where challenges abound and adversity lurks, one creature stands as a symbol of indomitable spirit – the Wolverine. With unrelenting determination, this remarkable animal demonstrates a tenacity that knows no bounds.
The Wolverine refuses to surrender, whether it’s scaling mountains or crossing vast expanses of snow-covered terrain; these fierce creatures show unwavering resilience. They are known for taking on adversaries much larger than themselves, fearlessly confronting bears and wolves in their quest for survival.
Wolverines adapt and persevere, teaching us the invaluable lesson of never giving up, no matter the odds, thus they are our icon for RFM.
Relentless Forward Momentum is the fiery spark that ignites greatness within us. It is the driving force that propels us forward, even in the face of adversity. Like a mighty river, it surges with unyielding determination, carving its path through the obstacles that dare to stand in its way.
Relentless Forward Momentum is the unwavering belief that each step, no matter how small, inches us closer to our dreams. It fuels our passion and our resilience, reminding us that we can achieve the extraordinary. With each stride, it pushes us beyond our limits, shattering the barriers of doubt and fear.
It is within Relentless Forward Momentum that we find the key to unlocking our true potential and accomplishing the impossible.

EXERCISE
DISCIPLINE
In the frozen peaks of the mountains, the snow leopard embodies a masterful display of discipline in her pursuit of prey. With sleek agility and undeniable grace, she navigates the treacherous wilderness, embodying the epitome of patience and focus, leaving no room for distractions or doubt. She patiently observes her quarry from a distance, meticulously calculating her approach with stealth and strategy.
Every move she makes is deliberate and precise, conserving her energy for the perfect moment. With disciplined determination, she launches into action, in a swift and calculated symphony of speed and power. The snow leopard’s unwavering discipline serves as a testament to her adaptability and survival instincts, solidifying her position as the ultimate predator of the mountains, and why she deserves to be our symbol for this core value.
Exercising Discipline is like forging a blade of strength and resilience within ourselves. In order to accomplish our goals, we must stay the course despite the challenges we may encounter. Discipline empowers us to resist the allure of instant gratification and embrace the long-term rewards that come from consistent effort. It is the voice within that nudges us to wake up early, push through fatigue, and persist in the face of obstacles when others would give up.
Discipline cultivates self-control, focus, and the capacity to make deliberate choices that align with our goals. It is the cornerstone of personal growth and the catalyst for extraordinary achievements.
As we embrace discipline, we can forge a path of success and fulfillment, knowing that our steadfast commitment will pave the way.

CONFIDENCE WITH HUMILITY
The wolf emerges as our humble yet resolute leader, embodying the delicate balance of
strength and humility. With a dignified presence, it roams the vast expanse of the prairie and
forests, radiating an aura of quiet assurance. The wolf’s humility is reflected in its ability to
work harmoniously within its pack, recognizing the strength of unity by listening to the voices
of the pack members.
He understands each member plays a vital role in the pursuit of shared goals, leading with a selflessness that elevates the entire pack. Yet, amidst its humility, the wolf exudes an unmistakable air of confidence. With an unwavering gaze and measured stride, the wolf navigates his surroundings with ease, confident of his own capabilities and strength. This humble confidence allows the wolf to face challenges head-on, adapt to ever-changing circumstances, and emerge victorious in the face of adversity.
It serves as a profound reminder that true strength lies not in boastful arrogance, but in the Confidence with Humility that stems from a deep understanding of oneself and one’s place in the natural order.
With confidence, we believe in our abilities, embrace challenges, and strive for excellence. Yet, humility reminds us that we are part of something greater than ourselves, encouraging us to listen, learn, and appreciate the wisdom that surrounds us. It is the understanding that true strength lies not in arrogance but in the genuine connection and empathy we foster with those around us.
Confidence with Humility fuels our growth, inspires collaboration, and opens doors to endless possibilities. So, let us embrace the power of Confidence with Humility, as it guides us on a path of continuous self-improvement and authentic success, leaving a positive impact on both ourselves and the world we inhabit.
It is the perfect balance between self assuredness and a deep respect for others and their contributions. In a world that often celebrates ego and bravado, confident humility stands as a beacon of authenticity and grace.

INTENTIONAL THOUGHT & ACTION
In the vast prairies, where formidable storms arise without warning, the buffalo stands as a testament to resilience, intentional grace and clear purpose. Instead of waiting for the storm to pass, these mighty creatures defy the instinct to seek shelter, choosing instead to boldly charge into the raging winds and blinding snow.
By choosing to embrace the storm rather than cower in its wake, the buffalo teaches us the invaluable lesson of facing adversity with steadfast resolve and being mindful of our actions. In their boldness, they embody the spirit of embracing challenges, finding strength amidst chaos, and emerging on the other side, weathered but triumphant. It is in this intentional journey that we found our symbol for Intentional Thought & Action.
Intentional thought is the architect, sketching the blueprint of our aspirations with clarity and purpose. It shapes our vision, fuels our motivation, and sets us on a deliberate path towards our goals. But without intentional action, our dreams remain mere fantasies. Action breathes life into our aspirations, propelling us forward with determination and resolve.
It is through Intentional Thought & Action that we make progress, overcome obstacles, and transform our dreams into tangible achievements. With clear intention, we define what success looks like and outline the steps needed to achieve it.
This also involves seeking opportunities for continuous learning, ways to improve and taking open and complete ownership of our professional development, as well as fostering positive relationships with colleagues. With Intentional Action, we bring these intentions to life.
By focusing on Intentional Thought & Action, we welcome the transformative power it holds to elevate our professional journey to new heights

OPEN & HONEST RELATIONSHIPS
In the realm of the animal kingdom, it is said an elephant’s eyes speak the greatest language, making you feel so much, without a single word. These gentle giants, with their intricate social structures, navigate their relationships with transparency and authenticity. They express their emotions openly, raising their trunks in joyous greetings or lowered in moments of contemplation. With their deep rumbling calls and playful gestures, elephants communicate authentically, forging genuine connections within their herds. Their honesty extends beyond mere communication as they show unwavering loyalty and protectiveness towards their herd members. With their wise and deliberate actions, exhibit a profound wisdom, transcending their massive presence.
Through their open and honest nature, elephants remind us of the importance of genuine connections, sincere expressions of emotion, and the power of transparency in fostering strong relationships. These noble qualities should inspire us to seek knowledge, communicate sincerely and to support one another, without pretense or deception.
Creating Open & Honest Relationships at work is the fertile ground where collaboration, trust, and growth will flourish. This will create a space where authenticity is valued, and open communication is embraced. In such an environment, barriers dissolve, and bridges are built, allowing ideas to flow freely and diverse perspectives to be heard.
Openness creates a sense of psychological safety, where team members feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, concerns, and aspirations. Honesty, in turn, breeds transparency and accountability, fostering a culture of integrity and mutual respect. It is through open and honest relationships that we foster deeper connections, foster innovation, and cultivate a supportive community.
So, let us nurture this invaluable foundation in our workplace, for it empowers us to thrive, achieve collective success, and create a harmonious environment where everyone can unleash their full potential.

I don't even know where to start so I'll start by saying just how absolutely exceptional our experience with Petra has been. The team is incredible from top to bottom, from the back office, to the design team, to those in the field, as well as all of their clearly highly vetted subcontractors. We have simply never had this level of experience with a builder.
To be blunt, I've never been part of a home improvement project or net new build where every person involved actually gave a shit about their part in its success. We love Petra and will recommend them to anyone who will listen. If you are looking for fun people to work with everyday who also happen to be highly competent, are great communicators, do what they say they're going to do, and who do exceptional work, there is no reason to look elsewhere. Zero.
Thank you to the entire Petra team.

We had a stellar team of talented and attentive builders. They took the inevitable hiccups in stride while getting the job done as quickly as possible. Petra prioritizes communication, which was crucial as we were out of state for the entire renovation. They listened to our desires and jumped in, with confidence, when there was a better option. This is a devoted group of hardworking people who take their jobs seriously and know how to have a little fun. Thanks Petra Customer Builders for helping our dream home come to fruition!

Petra and their subcontractors were professional, dependable and quick to fix any difficulties. They seemed to embody the mantra, "customer first" , and were not satisfied with any part of the project until we were. Charlie Lee is an amazing liaison who did an exceptional job of coordinating different aspects of the job with our schedules, managing our expectations, and assuring that the many aspects of the job were completed, on time, and to our satisfaction. Highly recommended.

This is a ground up build of a conditioned garage space with an upstairs office. Of course I was convinced I could do it, and after 3 false starts I called Jimmy. About 6 months later I have an extremely well built, energy efficient garage and work space. Of course there were idiosyncrasies and challenges each handed by the PCB team with no delays or worries. PCB even managed to get the design through the city.
All in all a huge win, useful, energy efficient and comfortable workspace. Couldn't happier.

Their design team truly stood out - especially Celeste who brought creativity, attention to detail and a deep understanding of our vision to the project. The entire PCB team was organized, communicative, and committed to quality. Their woodworkers created custom vanities that deserve their own Pinterest board.
If we ever decide to remodel again or move to another house, PCB would be our first call. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and talented general contractor.

Top notch experience. Jimmy, Aaron, Josh, Erin and the entire team are a joy to work with. They renovated our large basement into a beautiful entertaining space. Communication, timing, expectations and quality were all done professionally and with clarity. Definitely recommend hiring this team for your next project. We certainly will.

Petra did an amazing job on our historic remodel in Louisville. The level of craftsmanship is amazing. Brian Gurley ran our project, and was always advocating for us. Thanks for a beautiful home that we will enjoy for years!

Our team had a positive experience working with PCB from the onset. The design build-process implemented streamlined design through construction (current) with the ability to talk through design opportunities and learning edges as they presented themselves throughout the process.
The PCB team drove conversations on cost, constructability, and coordinating with the owner who was out of state with clear and concise communication and creating realistic expectations for all design phases. Our team is looking forward to seeing this project come to life!
