Men’s Mental Health Month: “We Must Keep Talking About It” 2024-06-28 Share Share This June we’ve been talking with Pinkard people with unique perspectives on Men’s Mental Health Month, including Safety Manager Dave Ruddy and Project Engineer Bryce Heitsmith . Next month will mark two years since the passing of a former Pinkard employee, who took his own life in July of 2022. He was a beloved part of our leadership team—the kind of guy who lights up a room and would give you the shirt off his back—and his tragic passing shook our company to the core. Even for the people who he worked with regularly, the news came as a complete shock, seemingly without warning. As too often happens, no one saw it coming. This is not an easy thing to talk about. (Out of respect to his friends and family we’ve omitted his name here.) But if there’s one constant theme in the men’s mental health discussion, it is that our very reluctance to talk about these topics is one of the most pervasive reasons why suicide prevention is such a challenging problem. With that in mind, we are wrapping up our month-long series by sitting down with Jeff Kessler, Pinkard’s Director of Human Resources, to discuss this challenging topic and the greater challenges of addressing men’s mental health in construction. Why is men’s mental health a specific issue worth focusing on? For men in Western society, there's a certain stigma associated with asking for help in general. That can manifest in more benign ways, like the classic joke of dad never asking for directions, but it becomes a really big problem when you’re talking about mental health. Particularly among jobs like first responders, military folks, and construction workers, you have this “strap on your boots and you just do it” mentality that can lead to isolation from sharing. Then you look at construction specifically, which is predominantly composed of men, and you start to see this perfect storm of statistical probability where mental health issues and suicide are a real problem. What kind of statistics are you seeing? I’ll list a few. [HR consulting firm] Mercer just came out with their 2024 People Risk Survey, and mental health is the number one concern among Human Resource directors nationally . In the construction industry, 83 percent of people have experienced mental health issues in some form. That’s four out of five of us! When you’re talking about suicide, Colorado has the sixth highest suicide rate in the country . Nationwide, construction workers are twice as likely to die by suicide compared to other professionals, and four times more likely than the general population. From the standpoint of the pandemic, we’ve sort of entered this era of “permacrisis,” where it feels like it’s always one thing after another. Last year there was a 65 percent increase in mental health leaves of absences across the US. And so the issue is: how do we get people help? Not only because it's the right thing to do from a cultural standpoint, but from a business standpoint. It has a real impact on productivity, both in the form of absenteeism and “presenteeism,” where someone is there but they're not engaged, which leads to safety issues and accidents on the job. Why does mental health seem to be worse in our industry? Part of it is the “I'm just going to do it and not talk about it” mentality. Part of it is that construction workers work hard physically, which means there is a lot of pain associated with work, especially as you get older. And of course when you’re dealing with the deadlines and budget inherent to our industry, there’s a huge component of stress. When one or more of these issues flares up and combines with what might be going on in someone’s personal life—be it relationship troubles, financial troubles, loneliness, depression—the mental and emotional toll can just domino. It’s rarely one thing. Do you see a generational difference? Yeah, we do. The statistics say that Gen Z is 1.9 times more likely to suffer from mental health issues than other generations, but they’re also more likely than older workers to trust and utilize the mental health resources that a workplace provides. It’s sort of a chicken and egg question as to whether younger people are actually experiencing more mental health issues or whether they’re just being open about it due to it becoming less stigmatized. How does substance abuse play into men’s mental health? There’s definitely a culture of self-medicating. That can be due to mental or physical pain. Substance abuse among construction workers is 14.3 percent, versus 9.5 percent in general . Nearly one in six construction workers say they have five or more drinks in one sitting on at least five occasions per month, which is the definition of alcohol abuse. So what is Pinkard doing to help? With the help of AGC [Associated General Contractors], we’ve put together a robust mental health program. This includes providing our employees numerous mental health services through Magellan EAP [Employee Assistance Program], Youturn Health, and Cigna Behavioral Health, as well as trying to raise awareness in the industry in general, such as what Dave Ruddy has done with putting up suicide prevention stickers in our porta-potties . One of our biggest internal strategies is leadership engagement. [Pinkard president] Tony [Burke] has been very active in trying to create an organization where our leadership openly and regularly talks about mental health in order to normalize it and reduce the stigma. That’s huge, because it doesn't really matter if you have a lot of resources if people are too ashamed to use them. Like Bryce mentioned , we staff our projects to ensure people don’t burn out. And we really, really stress making sure people take vacations in order to recharge, which is a harder sell than you might think. Oftentimes, especially when it comes to superintendents who feel so responsible for a job, you almost have to force them out the door to take a vacation for their own good. Did losing a Pinkard team member to suicide change things? Because of the statistics we’ve already discussed, mental health and suicide prevention were already a focus for us, but we got a big dose of awareness when he passed. It was no longer an abstract concept, and it probably woke some people up. The biggest lesson for me is how well hidden these mental struggles can be. He was this beloved, charismatic figure, and no one at Pinkard had any idea that he was in so much pain. He was superman at work, but we just don't know what factors outside his work life were at play. Had he made it known he was struggling so deeply, so many people would have dropped everything to help him. That is why we must keep talking about it. What are some of the warning signs to look out for? Look for signs of despair. You might notice them giving away stuff or talking about firearms in a certain manner. If someone says something like, “Nothing matters,” “No one cares,” “I’m giving up,” or “I may not be here tomorrow,” they might be trouble. If we’re worried about someone, what can we do? When you notice someone acting that way, one of the best things you can do is just talk to them about it directly, rather than downplay it or pretend to ignore it. A lot of people think, Oh, I'm not going to ask if they're thinking of hurting themselves because that might make them do it, but that’s not the case. The idea is to actually say, “Hey, I really care about you. Are you thinking about hurting yourself?” They can be surprisingly honest when you ask that. Depending on how bad it is, you can either keep talking to them, encourage them to call 988 [the national Suicide Hotline] right away, or call 911 yourself if it’s an emergency. Should we talk to HR? Especially if you’re not comfortable confronting a coworker you’re worried about, you can always come to us. If we see someone who is really spiraling, we will sit down with them and say, “Look, we care about you. Why don’t you talk to someone?” We’ll get them an evaluation call with Magellan EAP, and then we’ll duck out. We stay out of their business from there, but we will get information back from Megellan that says, “They have a treatment plan,” or "This person is okay. They just needed a tool that we've already provided them with.” YOU MATTER: If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, we urge you to call or text “988” to reach the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline , where you can confidentially talk with a trained crisis counselor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Boulevard One at Lowry Apartments Denver, Colorado, USA Denver Housing Authority 69,172 Sq. Ft., 72 Units Affordable Housing, Multi-Family Housing, Wood Framed, Photovoltaic, Enterprise Green Communities, Publicly Funded, Sustainable, LIHTC, Ground Up In partnership with Volunteers of America and Denver Housing Authority, Pinkard formed the Lowry Affordable Housing Partners to construct 72 affordable housing units in the Boulevard One community at the corner of Archer Place and South Oneida Street. Lowry Apartments will consist of four-story wood framed construction, ground floor community space, surface parking, a roof-top solar array, and a 72-unit mix, which includes 20 units for people experiencing homelessness. 41 one-bedroom units 23 two-bedroom units eight three-bedroom units Lowry Apartments' design is based on a contemporary reinterpretation of the existing Lowry context and uses sustainable design and healthy living practices. It will provide permanently affordable housing opportunities to families earning approximately 30-50% of the average median income and will include subsidies for transitional residents moving out of homelessness. During preconstruction, the 68,217 sf project was brought into the budget through an intensive value engineering effort that maintained all aspects of the original program. It is being designed and built to meet Enterprise Green Community Criteria. The entire Boulevard One development is the last new neighborhood at Lowry, once the tail end of historic Runway One at the former Lowry Air Force Base. It features walk-to neighborhood retail and offices, multiple parks and a community plaza, and paths within and around the development, providing connectivity to Crestmoor Park, the surrounding neighborhoods, and the regional bike system.

Pinkard Breaks Ground on 400-Unit Affordable Housing Development 2023-07-21 Share Share Pinkard Construction, a leading affordable housing contractor, broke ground today on Willoughby Corner , a 400-unit affordable housing development in Lafayette, Colorado. The project is a collaboration between the Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA), the City of Lafayette, Pinkard Construction, Norris Design , and HB&A Architects . Colorado Lieutenant Governor, Dianne Primavera, noted in her remarks at the ceremony that Willoughby Corner would be the largest net-zero-ready affordable housing development in Colorado when complete. The buildings will utilize solar and geothermal technology and incorporate highly energy-efficient building designs and materials. The first homes, 63 affordable ADA-accessible apartments for adults age 55 and over, will be ready for move-in as early as fall 2024. The first phase also includes 129 affordable multi-family homes and a community center. “We are here to celebrate this amazing, whole neighborhood of affordable housing... with community gardens, a transit mobility hub with bus access, car sharing, and [electric vehicle] charging,” said Norrie Boyd, director of BCHA. “We will have walking trails and electric, built for the future buildings, all designed with trauma-informed design, so everyone feels welcome in their homes here.” “It’s amazing to work with Pinkard Construction; every individual... puts their heart and soul into this project,” said Molly Chiang, Senior Developer with BCHA. “They have been with us since the very early days of design, and they have been able to guide the whole team and get us to where we are now.” The project is made possible through the City of Lafayette’s financial support with nearly $1.5 million in fee waivers for the first phases of the project, the $3.1M purchase of the land, and $5.3M in grants for Willoughby’s water rights. Willoughby Corner is also possible because of Boulder County Commissioners’ help with funding. Over the past year, Commissioners have added nearly $13 million in county and American Rescue Plan Act funds to help ensure Willoughby Corner can continue to advance through financing and approvals processes and that construction on its first phase can begin on time. “Willoughby Corner is a shining example of what can be accomplished when we work together to address the affordable housing crisis,” said Pinkard President Tony Burke. “I’m proud of the work that Pinkard has done to keep this project on track despite a global pandemic, materials shortages, and cost escalations that have derailed so many projects.” Willoughby Corner’s affordable homes will serve generations of families, individuals, older adults, and the workforce earning at or below 60 percent of the Area’s Median Income. For example, for a family of three, this amounts to a maximum annual income of $71,760 (2023 HUD). Construction on the first phase of Willoughby Corner is expected to be completed in 2024.

Pinkard Company Overview Brochure

Creative Conceptual Programming and Budgeting 2022-03-15 Share Share On 4725 South Lowell, The original project plan conceived by Denver Housing Authority (DHA) and architect WORKSHOP8 involved renovating the square-donut-shaped existing building and constructing a third story above it. This third-story addition was considered an economical way to provide 50% more units to the South Lowell facility. Once Pinkard was hired, despite the structural engineer’s determination that the building should be able to support a third-story addition, we determined that a third-story addition was an unacceptable risk for the owner, tenants, and project team. As a result, DHA was resigned to the fact that their only apparent option was to renovate the building without adding new units. Following a careful program analysis, Pinkard suggested the creative idea of constructing a four-story addition inside the courtyard of the existing building. Early in programming, DHA and WORKSHOP8 had considered and rejected a similar idea as infeasible because of costs per unit. However, Pinkard demonstrated that with a few key tweaks to the original idea, constructing inside the courtyard — a building within a building — was certainly feasible. dHA loved Pinkard’s building within a building idea because it met their specified additional units and got them into the budget. Since the third-story addition plans were only in the schematic design phase, a major design shift was not out of the question. WORKSHOP8 was eager to tackle the unique idea and began developing the plan immediately. The plan soon hit a major snag when the City and County of Denver permitting authorities rejected the idea. A building within a building had never before been proposed within the City and County, and they had serious concerns about everything from stormwater issues to fire ratings and fire department access. Knowing these obstacles could be overcome, Pinkard and the owner/architect team formulated a plan that met all City and County objections. After 56 code compliance iterations, the City and County of Denver gave the go-ahead. Thanks to our diligence and persistence early in design, DHA would get the extra housing units they so desperately needed. Effective Value Analysis/Engineering From the beginning, DHA was somewhat vague about disclosing their target budget, stating only “we need to be as inexpensive as possible.” The original estimate came in at $12 million with a corresponding comment from DHA of “it’s way too expensive.” Several weeks later we provided a second estimate of $11.3 million. At that point, DHA disclosed they needed to be at $9.5 million. Armed with a well-defined budget, Pinkard produced 89 value engineering options to meet the $9.5 million budget. We were ready to start construction.

Schlessman Family YMCA Denver, Colorado, USA YMCA of Metropolitan Denver 11,000 Sq. Ft. Recreation, Non-Profit This extensive expansion included refinishing the main corridor with the ground, stained, and polished concrete; converting several small offices into a large cycling studio with a new storefront system and accent wall; expanding existing locker room space to create a Mindfulness Yoga Studio; demolishing key dividing walls to combine the existing cycling studio with the existing cardio area; expanding the teen area, and a kitchen remodel that includes rerouting plumbing within the slab-on-metal-deck crawl space. Pinkard also performed electrical rerouting and upgrades to accommodate the expanded program space. The painting subcontractor was owner-contracted for Schlessman and Susan M. Duncan. Pinkard worked the painting subcontractor’s scope into the overall construction schedule and managed the work for the owner, including holding the subcontractor accountable for the schedule. During floor-cover demolition, Pinkard provided a creative fix for an unforeseen floor-height discrepancy that threatened the owner’s budget and schedule Both projects finished on time and within the budget, which included owner-initiated change orders for unforeseen conditions, code requirements, and owner scope additions. The Schlessman YMCA expansion featured interior upgrades to a YMCA that is nearing the end of its functional adequacy. Slated for demolition in the not-too-distant future, YMCA elected to incorporate minimal remodels to the reception area including new floor coverings, along with select demising wall demolitions to open-up certain spaces and allow for expanded adaptability for key programs in this YMCA.

He was great, taking on (unexpected) challenges and stress, and he handled it like a champ. See the Project Very resourceful in meeting challenges "Although (our construction) plan was thorough and very well thought out, this 114-year old hotel contained many more obstacles than we ever imagined. In my 36 years as an owner’s representative and project manager, I can honestly say that the project was in my top five as most challenging. Pinkard was very resourceful in meeting these challenges, and provided an excellent level of workmanship. My client loves their new spa, and is very pleased that the level of quality is in keeping with their Four Diamond standard." See the Project Rescuing a renovation “Although every project is going to have its ups and downs, I don’t think anyone anticipated this many “downs” when we first started. The great finish we enjoyed is a credit to Ensign, Pinkard, and Intergroup Architects’ strong commitment to team-building...it saved this project. Sloan’s Lake and Ensign are very proud of what this team was able to accomplish, and this facility is already making a difference in our patients’ lives.” See The Project Numerous challenges faced and overcome "I saw firsthand many of the numerous challenges that Pinkard and the entire construction team had to face and ultimately overcome. These challenges were frequent occurences, and involved portions of the existing 40-year old concrete structure interfering with planned construction. Pinkard was always conscientious about communicating field issues, putting together detailed as-builts to clarify the changes, and to diligently work to sequence and oversee subcontractor performance. Thanks to all members of your team who made so many important contributions to the success of this project." See the Project Workmanship is excellent "We had a very demanding standard for quality. Pinkard made sure that the subs did what they were supposed to do and did it correctly. The final product speaks for itself - workmanship is excellent." See the Project Advising on the materials "Pinkard was really good at advising on the longevity and success of certain materials versus others, providing the context of 'we've tried that before, and the clients didn't like it after six months, or yes, that's a great product, or we see where you're going with that vision, but let's use this instead of that.' But then always balancing that with the mindfulness of our tight budget."
