H I S T O R Y . . .
Masonry, the most versatile building material
available, and the most challenging, led Dick Felice, Forrest &
Associate's President & CEO to become involved in the masonry
business. He felt compelled to pursue his journeyman's card after
graduation and in 1960, along with his friend, Dale Forrest, started
their own firm.
|
Together they built Forrest & Associate into a
company that has grown over the years into one of Des Moines's most
knowledgeable and experienced masonry contracting firms, capable of
providing quality craftsmanship and superior expertise throughout
the State of Iowa.
Starting with 10 employees, building commercial, industrial,
educational, and residential buildings using various masonry
materials such as block, brick, stone, granite, marble, tile and
terra-cotta, this company played a significant role in aiding the
beautification and growth programs of cities across the State of
Iowa.
Felice purchased Forrest's stock in 1993 and the company has
continued to flourish. Today, with more than 100 employees, Forrest
& Associate strives to provide the highest standard of total
quality masonry construction and service to it's clients.

Felice has adapted to changes in the construction industry and,
wanting to ensure that masonry is a major part of building design,
has become part of those changes by consistently being active in the
industry's organizations. While running a business on a full-time
basis, Felice still finds time to serve on the board of directors of
the Masonry
Institute of Iowa and the Des Moines Construction Council.
He also serves on various committees for organizations such as Master
Builders of Iowa, Masonry
Industry Council/Council for Masonry Research, Building Stone
Institute, National Masonry Standards, Associated American
Society of Testing Materials C15, and Mason
Contractor's Association of America, of which he served as
president two consecutive years.
