Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage 2025-04-08 Share Share It was early summer of 2016, and Pinkard was on track to hit the contracted July 12 completion date on South College Avenue Parking Garage, a 222,000 square foot, 662-car, four-story precast structure on the southeast corner of the Colorado State University campus. A design-build partnership between Pinkard Construction, H+L Architecture and Pittsburgh-based parking structure specialists Carl Walker Construction, the final design for the $15.2 M project featured numerous innovations, including state-of-the-art parking technologies, electric vehicle charging stations (a rarity in 2016), an advanced LED lighting system that improves pedestrian safety while reducing energy and maintenance costs, and a bioswale rain garden that filters out pollutants naturally and directs the clean storm water into the city system. During preconstruction the team provided exceptional value enhancement solutions, such as adding a “Mondrian-patterned” precast element for design variety and cost savings over a stone clad wall and hydraulic elevators with glass doors and backs instead of the more costly four-sided glass traction-elevator cabs. After breaking ground Pinkard had implemented creative field solutions and manpower adjustments to overcome numerous unforeseen conditions, including excessive groundwater and subgrade structural modifications. Then, more than midway through the project, CSU handed the design-build team a new challenge: can we add rooftop solar panels? With the fall semester approaching, Pinkard sprang into action to price and procure the owner addition, which would require rooftop structural modifications to allow for the addition of a solar array. Thanks to the team’s swift action, the approved scope addition was able to begin construction in June and stretch into late August, just in time for classes to begin. Ultimately, the South College Avenue Parking Garage was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. CSU points to this project and experience as a shining example of the design-build approach at its best, informing the university’s specific procurement of new projects going forward, and leading them to be less prescriptive, and to rely more on the expertise and innovation that design-build teams are capable of delivering when given the opportunity.

Pinkard Wood Frame Manager Discusses Innovative Approaches in Building Dialogue Pinkard Wood Frame Manager Discusses Innovative Approaches in Building Dialogue 2023-12-05 Share Share Pinkard Frameworks Manager, Dan Harris, discusses innovative approaches to wood framing in the December issue of Building Dialogue. In the article titled " The Problem with Wood Framing and How to Solve It, " Harris highlights the challenges of wood framing and offers solutions for successful projects. According to Harris, wood framing is one of the riskiest scopes in construction. The problems that can result from poorly managed framing, including schedule and quality issues that cascade into other trades, cannot be fixed with a bonding Band-Aid. Harris suggests that someone must take ownership of the wood framing process to solve this problem. Harris also points out that the lack of ownership is due to many entities having a piece of the puzzle. One example is truss design, where structural engineers rely on general design principles to complete framing plans. Truss company bids are based on these plans and will bid them as drawn, right or wrong. They have no incentive other than winning the job. These companies generally do not evaluate the project holistically, leading to problematic designs being passed to the framing subcontractor. To address these issues, Harris recommends a thorough preconstruction process that involves a general contractor with in-depth framing knowledge and their key suppliers, especially truss fabricators, with the design team. This collaboration results in framing designs that meet architectural and structural intent, ensure constructability, and seamless integration with other trades. The result is a project that can be built in budget, faster, and with simplicity that improves quality before construction starts. Harris emphasizes the importance of cultivating relationships with vendors and holding them to project specifications. This approach ensures quality and saves owners money. Once the project is set up for success, experienced and attentive on-site supervision is crucial. A dedicated framing professional who leads the Framing Subcontractor and interfaces directly with the project superintendent can catch minor issues before they become major problems. This level of supervision ensures the project stays on track and all team members are held accountable for their work. Properly implemented, Harris believes these strategies can be incredibly successful. He cites Pinkard's recent preconstruction efforts for Boulder County Housing Authority on Willoughby Corner, a multi-phased affordable community in Lafayette with 174 units in the first phase, as an example. Having a team who not only understands the wood framing process start to finish but also takes ownership and responsibility for its success is essential for ensuring that your wood frame project is delivered smoothly on schedule, competitively priced, and is a quality build that will last you decades.

Pinkard Employee Volunteers Make Life Safety Upgrades to Jeffco Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School Pinkard Employee Volunteers Make Life Safety Upgrades to Jeffco Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School 2022-08-26 Share Share Pinkard Construction's community outreach program, The Pink Crew , organized several volunteers to help with the demolition of the existing deck, replacing it with an updated code-compliant deck, site clean-up, and other tasks to make staff housing safer and more enjoyable. Pinkard donated all labor and materials to complete the 650 Square foot elevated second-floor composite deck with two sets of egress stairs. "There are generations of Jeffco students who look back on their Outdoor Lab adventure and say it was one of their best memories of elementary school," said Robb Gneiser, Principal for the Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School. "Pinkard's team is top-notch, and I am excited that this year’s staff will have a wonderful new place to relax and enjoy downtime at the Windy Peak school." Gneiser says that the mission of the Outdoor Education Laboratory Program is to enhance and enrich student learning as an integral part of 6th-grade curricula by providing opportunities for hands-on, experiential, authentic learning in an outdoor setting, developing stewardship of self, community, and the environment. "This project was the epitome of stewardship of community! Great people work hard for others and feel good about a well-done job! Thank you, Pink Crew, the decks represent your legacy of stewardship, and we are grateful." "I remember my boys coming here and what a connection I felt with Outdoor Lab, JPS, and the Golden communities based on their experience," said Pinkard Warranty Superintendent Mike Levchik, who captained the Pink Crew team for this project. "This was an incredible team-building exercise. Because of our team’s enthusiasm for JPS’s Outdoor Lab program and our excitement for the project, we completed the final two days of work in just one! We had office people with little framing experience jumping in and getting it done next to managers who worked their way through the trades and carpenters next to them. I’ll never forget it." Levchik says, “Community service is a big part of Pinkard's culture. It is common to see several Pinkard employees using their provided VTO (volunteer time off) working together on Habitat for Humanity builds, homeless youth outreach, helping the Action Center improve their campus, or outreach or paint-a-thons for seniors in our local community.” "The Pink Crew is an important part of the Pinkard culture," said Kristen Rebmann, a Payroll/Staff accountant who helps organize these events and grabbed some power tools and worked on the deck all day Friday. "Being part of the Pink Crew not only helps build a strong community, but it also helps us create lasting bonds with each other, and it helps us grow as individuals. Pinkard was founded and only works in Colorado’s Front Range. This is our community. We want to give back to it." Additional volunteers included Holt Fuller and architectural design support from HF Made.
