Construction Storyteller: Pinkard’s Longtime Proposal Writer Retires Construction Storyteller: Pinkard’s Longtime Proposal Writer Retires 2025-07-25 Share Share In his job, and in life, Ned Foster describes himself as an oddball. Unlike most people he works with at Pinkard Construction, he doesn’t have an engineering degree or a background in business or accounting, but rather journalism. His colorful wardrobe of Hawaiian shirts stick out in a sea of muted polos and dress shirts, as does memorable Shreveport, Louisiana accent, which belies the fact that he’s lived in the high elevation forests above Denver for over 30 years. As Pinkard’s on-staff proposal writer since 2002, Ned has been the voice of Pinkard Construction for over two decades. In his 28-year career as a proposal writer, 23 of those years spent at Pinkard, he has written at least 1,000 Request for Proposal (RFP) responses, helping supply the lifeblood of projects that keep a general contractor alive. He’s also responsible for submitting the majority of Pinkard’s 22 National Excellence in Construction awards, organized by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), which are judged by an exhaustive, highly competitive proposal process. As a testament to his writing prowess, of the 16 projects that Ned submitted on, 14 of them won first place “Eagle” awards, one earned a second place “Pyramid,” and only one went home emptyhanded. He also served as an Eagle judge and National Business Development Committee member for ABC National for 13 years. Ned and Marketing Director Jessica Nichols holding a Marketing Excellence Award won in conjunction with one of Pinkard's Eagles. What’s even more amazing is that Ned arrived at Pinkard with little-to-no construction industry knowledge. What has made Ned such an effective asset to Pinkard, and as anyone who lost track of time talking to him in his office can confirm, is his remarkable gift as a storyteller. As skilled at listening as he is at writing and talking, Ned is a rare breed, a sharp-witted, deeply introspective renaissance man with the principles and insatiable curiosity of a true journalist. While much glory in the construction world rightfully goes to the people who do the actual building, Ned has served an invaluable role at Team Pinkard. To use one of his favorite analogy forms (sports): as the superintendents, project managers, and estimators battle it out in the field, Ned has been there in the press box, dutifully documenting the plays, interviewing the players, and recording our company’s history. His subsequent stories of teamwork, innovation, quality, schedule, budget, and overcoming challenges have been crucial tools for demonstrating our construction expertise to prospective clients. In the words of retired CEO Jim Pinkard: “Ned cares more than most people. He’s competitive, he wants to win, and he puts everything into what he’s doing. Whether talking to an architect, a client, or our guys in the field, he knows how to talk to people, absorb their expertise, and then put that into a clear cohesive message. Even though he didn’t arrive with construction expertise, he worked hard to become hyper-literate in this world, and he left an indelible mark on the company as a result.” This week, having just celebrated his 70th birthday, Ned Foster is finally entering the world of retirement, where he looks forward to spending more time with his wife and “kids” (his two border collies), while focusing on his numerous passions: playing guitar, cooking, reading, watching films and TV, drinking a good martini, and chasing the occasional bear off his mountain driveway. As Pinkard bids farewell to its beloved storyteller of 23 years, we asked Ned a few parting questions about his life at Pinkard. How are you feeling about retirement? Excited. I’m ready and freaked out at the same time. I’ve never been the guy who lived to work, but Pinkard was the perfect job for me. I don’t think I would have made it anywhere else. Why’s that?  Because I'm an oddball, a Jack Kerouac type who was probably meant for more artistic and creative pursuits. But fortunately I landed at Pinkard in the right time in my life, at the right time for the company, where I had some of the best people around me who could look past my weaknesses and shortcomings, see my potential, and let me grow into it.  There were days I was completely overwhelmed, but it was the perfect job for me. It taught me my strengths, revealed my insecurities and shortcomings, and gave me a career. So how did you end up at Pinkard Construction? It's kind of a crazy story. I was always trying to work in a field that allowed me to indulge my passions. After college I had done about four years in New Orleans, basically working in HR for Avondale Shipyards, the largest industrial employer in Louisiana. I burned out at that, and that's when I got into the restaurant business as a fine-dining waiter, which I loved passionately. I wanted to be a chef and sommelier, which is how I moved out to Colorado in 1988, to work at the Flagstaff House in Boulder. Then my back went out, and in the years after I did everything from starting a portrait photography business to working as an electrician’s apprentice and teaching skiing at Winter Park, before starting to wait tables again. Then one day one of my restaurant customers told me she’s a technical writing recruiter, and I said, "You know, I got a degree in journalism I've never used.” She asked for my resume, and two years later she called and said, “I've got an entry level job for you,” so I went to work for Lockwood Greene Technologies, the oldest engineering firm in the United States at the time. I worked for them for a while, and they ended up closing the office due to some incredible mismanagement, so I went to Centric-Jones Construction, and they went out of business as well. One day I get a call from a friend I used to work with at Lockwood Green, saying, “I know somebody that needs you. Call this guy named Jim Mellor [ Pinkard’s recently retired head of marketing and business development ].” That’s a whole ‘nother story. What was the Marketing Department like in the early 2000s? Before me the whole department was set up around Mellor as the brains of the operation. He had this whole network of boilerplate writeups – basically the answers to every question that we’d ever been asked – that were all numbered, and so whenever a proposal needed to be done, he would tell his secretary, let's use intro number three for this, writeup number two there, and she'd put it all together like that. That had worked really well up to that point, but when I was hired to take over proposal writing, that way of doing things doesn’t really fit my personality, and I thought there was a better way. What was different about your approach? A really good example is the Eagle awards. We decided we were going to submit Thomas Connole [Pinkard’s 2002 project for Denver Housing Authority], this incredible gut and remodel of a 10-story, concrete affordable housing high-rise with asbestos. DHA wanted to make the bedrooms bigger, but they didn't have any room to do so, so we demolished the entire side of the building and made it wider. It was crazy. So when it came time to submit for the award, I didn’t consult with anyone who had done it before. I just looked at the requirements and started digging in, doing what made the most sense to me. Knowing that the only way to tell a good story is to know as much as possible about the topic, I interviewed everyone I thought could offer me some insight. Why was the job hard? What did you do to make it easier? What were the problems and how did you solve them? And most importantly, what is the proof that you did a great job? I was lucky that Denver Housing Authority’s program manager Ron St. Clair was a storyteller. It was from Ron that I learned that story tillering was the key to a winning proposal or award submittal. That set the stage for the rest of my career. From that I basically wrote the Eagle submittal completely on my own, which Jim Pinkard then proofed and gave me great insight into what was not clear. After submitting it, we won first place. Ned in 2003. What makes a good proposal writer?  I've never really thought about it to the point of articulating, but I think it’s the same thing that makes a good journalist, which is having the curiosity and the drive to tell a good story. I was always talking to superintendents and project managers to learn what made projects special. Without that knowledge of why something is special, you can't sell it. How has proposal writing, and construction marketing in general, changed over your tenure? Before me, it was very much an assembly line, boilerplate approach, which was very efficient and managed to win us a lot of work back then. As the industry has evolved and Pinkard has continued to chase more and more ambitious projects, the proposals have become more complex, and we have become more and more sophisticated as a result. For the longest time it was just me writing and submitting the proposals on my own with minimal team input, and our RFPQ responses were largely just text-based. Today it’s a massive team effort, and the documents are much more complicated with graphics, pictures and design. What were your favorite proposals to work on? The ones where I got to go really deep with the project team. On one of the last jobs we won, I ended up talking to [Pinkard superintendent] Matt Gabriel for two hours to help craft the project approach for this challenging renovation. I kept asking him questions about how we would overcome all these challenges, and after talking at length about how hard this job is going to be, he said, “Man, I'm sorry. All I'm doing is complaining.” I said, “Dude, your complaints are exactly what I need to hear!” That gave us so much brilliant insight, and I think it won us the job. That’s the thing I loved most about my job: having these fascinating conversations with brilliant people who build incredible things. If you could do any other job in construction, regardless of the qualifications, what would it be? Superintendent. I’m just amazed by their common sense, and their ability to look at things, collaborate and tactfully solve problems. That applies to project managers, preconstruction, and project engineers too. It requires an amazing hybrid set of skills to overcome complicated physical challenges while dealing with people and keeping things in budget to turn out a beautiful building. To me they are some of the smartest people in the world.  So what kept you at Pinkard all this time? What are you going to miss most? The people. Of course the work was a good fit for me, but it’s the people and the relationships that made the work good. I'm proud of the fact that we, as a company, hired good, moral, brilliant people, and I've created so many memories with them over the years. They’re what makes it so hard to leave.

Thank you for your interest in The Irving at Mile High Vista. Decks are Done We are topped out! The building has reached its maximum height, and work will transition into filling out the inside and completing the exterior. We will have some small concrete pours next week on the roof and ground levels, but this will be the last time the pump partially blocks the private drive lane for deck pours. Overhead, stairs are flying into place, and the roof amenity space is getting framed and secured. On the exterior, get a glimpse of the final product as windows and metal panels get installed. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we constructed the superstructure and reached this milestone. Placing Panels We have entered our structural cycle of placing wall panels, laying the deck panels, pouring the deck, and then repeating. In the coming months, expect ongoing overhead activity as our walls and floors fly into place. Our next deck pour will be Level 5 on May 20th, which will partially block the private drive to the East. Please follow the instructions given by the traffic control crew as they safely guide you around the trucks. At this time, we anticipate topping out the structure in early July. Walls and Walkways The covered walkways are installed! Please do not hesitate to use these safe passageways around the site. Within the site, walls are going up. Feel free to observe our prefabricated wall panels as they fly overhead into place. For the next few months, work will include placing decks and walls until we top out. Again, please do not be alarmed by the whistles from the site, as they are simply a safety measure for our crew for these overhead hazards. Covered Walkways The installation of the covered walkway along Colfax is complete. Please use this as a safe means of traveling around the site. On Monday, Cesar Chavez Day, we will construct the library entrance tunnel while the library is closed. This structure will protect the path from the parking lot to the existing covered walkway along the library. On site, the cores will finish in the next few days. Wall panels will follow, taking our building vertical and starting unit construction. Month of March This month is focused on completing the vertical structural cores. These three towers will grow continuously and top out at the maximum height of our building. As we grow, two covered walkways will be installed for your safety. By the end of the month, both a library entrance tunnel and a covered walkway along Colfax will be in place to prevent overhead falling object hazards. Please be patient during installation and follow the signage and directions from our crew for safe routing around the site. Snow and Semis This week brings cold and snowy weather along with numerous deliveries. Due to the weather conditions, the final Level 2 pour has been rescheduled to Monday, February 17th. In the meantime, we will begin working on the cores supporting the vertical structure. Large flatbed semi-trucks will be delivering blocks throughout the week. Exercise caution when navigating in the eastern private drive and follow the instructions provided by the traffic control crew. Prime Pour Period This week brings warm weather that is perfect for pouring the concrete for our second level. Please expect our crews to surround the site and safely direct traffic around the pumping equipment. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we partially block the eastern drive for two days. By the end of this week, we will have the northern half of the building poured and have the southern portion prepped for next week's pour. During preparation, do not be alarmed by the whistles signaling the presence of overhead loads- this is just a safety measure for our crew. Cold Construction This week, we will form the second-level slab in the north and finish grading soil in the south. Later this week, expect trucks to arrive with heaters and tenting material to prepare the site for cold weather work. Please exercise caution while navigating around these deliveries, as the roads may be slick. No concrete pours are scheduled this week, but expect partial blockage of the eastern private drive on February 3rd and 4th when we pour the northern half of the second level. Be prepared to follow our crew's directions during this time, as there will only be one traffic lane around the pump. New Year, New Building Welcome to 2025! As we head into the new year, we will be taking our building vertical. This week, we will pour the concrete beneath the lobby space and prep the remaining building footprint to finish the parking garage slab. Please be patient with our crews as they guide you safely past the concrete trucks lining the eastern private drive during these pours. In the next few days, expect to see supports peeking over the site fence in preparation for the second-level slab. We are excited to grow this year and appreciate your understanding. Dirt in the Drive As we start covering the foundations, numerous trucks will unload soil outside our site fence in the eastern private drive. This dirt will be moved onto the site throughout the week to begin preparation work for our first concrete slab on the west. Please pay attention to the workers who will guide you safely past the heavy equipment and material. Continuing Column Construction The remaining columns for the structure are peeking over the fence this week. Work is focused on the southern half of the site as reinforcement and concrete are placed. Please use caution when passing the unloading trucks in the eastern private drive. As usual, the crane is constantly moving material and heavy loads overhead. Do not be alarmed by the loud whistles during these times; this is simply a safety measure for our crew. Filling Up There is constant movement on site as we import soil to cover the foundations on the west and continue building footings in the south. Core walls are going vertical for the stairs and elevator. Concrete trucks will be positioned along the eastern site fence but will not impede traffic through the private drive. Underground utilities are being installed through the center of the site. There will be multiple trips between the material dirt lot to the west of Irving and the site. Please follow the instructions of the flaggers, as they will guide you safely around the loads. Contact the Irving Team Name Email Write a message Submit Thanks for submitting!

Pinkard Completes Five-year Senior Living Capital Improvements Project in Cherry Creek Pinkard Completes Five-year Senior Living Capital Improvements Project in Cherry Creek 2024-03-12 Share Share DENVER - Pinkard Construction, a leading full-service construction company, announced the successful completion of a major renovation project at Kavod Senior Life apartment homes in Cherry Creek. The project, which began in 2019, involved the renovation and reconfiguration of 396 residential kitchens, the installation of pull-out shelving in select base cabinets, and the replacement of existing bathtubs with walk-in acrylic-type shower pans and surrounds in more than 100 residential units. In addition, the project included replacing existing door hardware, lowering thermostats, installing a coffee/bistro station, and building the West Building property management offices and the adjacent laundry facility. The project also included the installation of new mechanical systems and air conditioning in the Health and Wellness Center in the West Building and the Shul Classroom in the East Building. Pinkard also managed a major code-related owner upgrade, adding a complete fire alarm and sprinkler system well after construction commencement. Conducted during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, this fully occupied renovation faced many supply chain and quarantine-related issues. When word came down in March 2020 that the building would have to be vacated, Pinkard collaborated with Kavod management to devise a socially distanced workplan to allow construction to continue in non-residential space. This plan allowed Pinkard to complete all commercial and public spaces in the three towers while avoiding any contact with residents or staff. These (non-critical path) activities, which accounted for almost half the allotted scope, allowed construction to continue, saving valuable time and owner savings. To accommodate the owner’s budget, Pinkard made staffing adjustments to only cover direct expenses related to general conditions. "We are thrilled to have successfully completed this project at Kavod Senior Living and Assisted Living apartment homes. With a pandemic thrown in the middle of an occupied senior living project, this was a critical issue," said Tony Burke, president at Pinkard Construction. “I know our crews took special care to ensure that Kavod could remain open and operational.” “I’ve worked with a lot of construction companies over the years,” said COO Tracy Kapaun, “Pinkard is hands down the best. The members of this team were total professionals.” Pinkard Construction has established a reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects across a range of sectors, including education, healthcare, senior living, and multifamily housing. The company's commitment to safety, sustainability, and innovation has made it a trusted partner for clients across the Colorado Front Range. Kavod Senior Life provides life-enriching experiences to older adults through a broad range of housing and support services that reflect the spiritual, social and cultural values of Jewish tradition. They offer 396 affordable and subsidized Senior Living and Assisted Living apartment homes and services for adults 62 years of age and older in Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for East West Partners on the ONE Riverfront project. ONE Riverfront Denver, Colorado, USA East West Partners 127,391 Sq. Ft., 43 Units Multi-Family Housing, Market Rate, Underground Parking, Ground Up ONE Riverfront consists of a seven-story cast-in-place structure with post tensioned slabs and seven street-front, four-level townhomes including a below-grade parking garage. The project totalled 127,391 gsf with 43 loft residences in the seven-story mid-rise structure and seven steel-framed townhomes facing the street front. The mid-rise structure's exterior consists of exposed architectural concrete, floor-to-ceiling aluminum-clad wood windows with composite metal panels, and Norman brick veneer. High end interior finishes include solid quartz stone counter tops, Italian porcelain tile and European cabinetry. Large portions of the residential interior feature exposed concrete ceilings and structural columns. The 50 units had infinitely variable customization options including five countertop colors, seven cabinet colors, two wood floors, four carpets, plus appliance, lighting, audio, and cabinetry upgrades. Customizations and design modifications required over 400 RFIs and 170 change orders. Concrete pours for the structure required over five months in the schedule. Highlights of the concrete work included: The seven-story tower features Agilia concrete exterior, exposed shear walls with symmetrical reveal strips and tie holes. The low-viscosity, highly temperamental self-compacting Agilia concrete had tremendous head pressure requiring special forming and safety precautions. Setting and aligning the reveal strips and tie holes was a labor intensive process requiring strict quality control and oversight. "I am thrilled to say that we have had a HUGE victory at the Townhome project. Your team has pulled off a modern day construction miracle and delivered a fully finished and beautiful model unit for us on the day I asked for and with the quality we demand. A phenomenal accomplishment. Congratulations to your team." Developer "At our development at Riverfront Park, we have had the distinct pleasure of working with Pinkard Construction to complete quite a few projects.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Frasier Meadows on the Frasier Meadows Master Plan project. Frasier Meadows Master Plan Boulder, CO, USA Frasier Meadows 355,000 Sq. Ft., 98 Units Senior Living, Recreation, Multi-Family Housing, Market Rate, Indoor Pool, Occupied, Ground Up, Renovation, Addition, Independent Living, Reahbilitation The Frasier Retirement Community’s $100 million Master Plan buildout consists of the construction of The Prairies, a 98-unit independent living building with a 110-space parking level on the lowest floor; a 6,000 sf Arts and Education building with classrooms, theater and a 300-seat multi-purpose room with stage; a 9,500 sf wellness center with a 25-meter exercise pool; and extensive renovations of the main floor of Frasier Central. All work is conducted on the occupied 530,000 sf, 14.5-acre complex. To meet Frasier’s demand for high quality and an uncompromising sensitivity to the needs of 400-plus seniors, Pinkard conducted an exhaustive preconstruction phase that focused on intensive collaboration with architect Hord Coplan Macht, Frasier, and numerous Frasier user groups. As a result of these efforts, the Pinkard/Frasier/Hord Coplan Macht collaboration produced “a perfect balance in site placement to achieve optimal aesthetics and natural views, respecting City of Boulder jurisdictional restrictions (including the 55-foot height limits), and FEMA flood-plain requirements, all the while allowing Frasier to enjoy tremendous flexibility for future growth. And we did this while balancing Frasier’s budgetary needs with the health, safety, and comfort of a demanding senior population.” During construction, Pinkard managed an unusually complex permitting process, which included 12 separate building permits as opposed to the customary one or two permits. "Retirement communities are sacred spaces. Pinkard and the subcontractors have been tremendously respectful of our sacred spaces." Senior Living Client "I've done maybe 50 projects in my career with 40 different contractors. Too many contractors are weak in preconstruction services. You guys are very, very strong in preconstruction services." Senior Living Client "When you don’t know what you’re doing (on your first construction project), you can feel very vulnerable. But it has been a great relationship, and everybody here has felt like they were heard."

Pinkard Completes Rehabilitation of Village on Main Pinkard Completes Rehabilitation of Village on Main 2024-10-21 Share Share Pinkard Construction has completed work the $8 million rehabilitation of Village on Main Apartments, formerly known as Village Place Apartments, located on Main Street in downtown Longmont. Partnering with the Longmont Housing Authority (owner/developer), Rosemann & Associates (architect), and Artaic Group (owner’s representative), Pinkard participated in design charettes with residents and the owner/design team to ensure resident programming needs were met. Pinkard’s preconstruction efforts included providing tax credit funding assistance, design-assist solar electrical input, and ultimately incorporating all owner wish list items into the existing budget. Scope of work on the 68,000 square foot, 10-month project included top-to-bottom unit upgrades, common area and exterior improvements, the replacement of boilers, through-wall air conditioners, and electrical meters, plus demolishing an abandoned solar hot water system to allow for a new 165kw roof-mounted ballasted solar photovoltaic system. Pinkard also replaced finishes, plumbing fixtures and lighting, roof membranes, and upgraded several units to meet current UFAS Accessibility standards. The project also met EGC sustainability standards for creating a healthier environment for residents and includes updated fixtures to reduce energy and water usage. To minimize disruptions to the residents during this occupied renovation of all 72 units, the work was conducted on a “rolling occupancy” basis, with 13 units updated at a time, requiring the coordination of temporary resident relocations. Some intriguing challenges included minimizing water shutoff durations during new boiler installation and working with the owner/design team to find the most effective solutions for minimizing electrical outages associated with electrical system upgrades. Through Pinkard’s careful budgeting, they were able to accommodate late client add-ons—such as redoing more than half of the building’s siding and replacing the already-installed corridor carpeting to a more durable and aesthetic option—while finishing in budget and on time. “It was such a pleasure to renew our relationship with Longmont Housing Authority with such a successful project, not to say it was without its challenges,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “Renovations like this always reveal unforeseen circumstances, but we were really grateful to have such a strong team in LHA, Rosemann, and Artaic to overcome all those obstacles and meet our project goals.” Learn More Affordable Housing Construction See Projects Senior Living Construction See Projects Occupied Renovation Construction See Projects Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Willoughby Corner: BCHA's Landmark Affordable Housing Development 2025-07-15 Learn More Pinkard Completes Bay Aquatic Park On Time and Under Budget 2025-07-07 Learn More Project Rewind: Prioritizing the Needs of 275 Seniors at Clermont Park 2025-07-09 Learn More Pinkard Tops Out Phase III of The Edge 2025-06-25 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.
