- Career Building Q&A: Blake Chambliss
Career Building Q&A: Blake Chambliss Career Building Q&A: Blake Chambliss 2024-07-18 Share Share Construction is a huge industry with a multitude of career paths. With the Career Building Q&A , we ask some of Pinkard’s longest tenured employees to share stories, advice, and lessons leaned over their own career journeys. In our first edition, we spotlight Blake Chambliss, whose remarkable 40 years at Pinkard has seen him rise from a journeyman carpenter to Chief of Operations. How did you get started in construction? My father is an architect, and he introduced me to a home building contractor. We formed and poured foundations and driveways, framed and sided, and did all interior trim including setting cabinets and countertops. How did you come to Pinkard Construction? I had just moved to Denver and was working for a multifamily developer when I heard that Pinkard was hiring. I hired on as a carpenter and we were just coming out of the ground and doing the concrete frame on the Hyatt Regency hotel in the Denver Tech Center. Superintendent-era Blake (circa 1996) Tell us the play-by-play of your evolving roles and responsibilities at Pinkard. I started out as a carpenter in 1984, and soon moved up to carpenter foreman at a time when we were doing a lot of high-rise PT cast-in-structures. I was promoted to Assistant Superintendent in (1986) and worked on Harvard Gulch Rec Center, DirecTV Broadcast Center, Tropical Discovery at the Denver Zoo, and a couple others. In the early ‘90s I was promoted to Superintendent and did several tenant improvements, a train wash station in Alliance, Nebraska, and some renovations before doing the first of several recreation projects in Highlands Ranch, including both phases of the Westridge Recreation Center and the renovation of Northridge Rec Center. I built several tilt-up projects (boring, like watching paint dry) and was put on three projects to replace existing superintendents, one of those still only in the foundation phase. In 2004, I was promoted to Field Manager where I also managed the self-perform concrete when we were doing decks and cores, and we did some very impressive architectural concrete using Agilia, a self-consolidating concrete, on One Riverfront. I worked as a project manager to replace a departed PM and finish up West Metro Fire. Finally I was promoted to Construction Manager before being named COO in 2022. What have been some of your career highlights? I really enjoyed working on Westridge Rec Center. We had a great repeat client in Highlands Ranch and [architect] Sink Combs (now Perkins & Will), and it was really rewarding being involved in preconstruction and working with [structural engineer] Martin & Martin to make structural changes to facilitate the proper sequencing of steel, masonry, and concrete. The architectural concrete at One Riverfront was fun to do. We did several mockups using different form-plys and form release agents to get the desired end-product, and we even used a pump to pour the mock-ups—not because of accessibility but because we needed to exactly replicate how we were going to pour the final product. In-progress architectural concrete at ONE Riverfront What’s the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome? Probably taking over the projects that were already behind schedule and getting them finish on time. Also, the water and rock challenges we had on a tilt project we did at 6th & Indiana. The soils report said no water or rock, but we ended up having to blast rock (Colorado blue shale) and install wells to keep the water out of the foundations. What’s was your most memorable project at Pinkard? There have been a lot of great days, but form setting and flying decks at the Hyatt Regency was super fun, even though we had to hear superintendent Leroy Jefferson yelling like a mad man all the time! What’s the best advice you ever received? When I worked at DSP Builders, a superintendent said, “You’ve got to have eyes out your ass, because as soon as you turn around someone will f#@& something up,” and that’s never been truer. You always need to be aware of what people are doing and that can only be done by continually walking the job with your eyes and ears open. What’s the worst advice you ever received? I don’t ever recall getting bad advice. There are always lessons to be learned, and a day without learning something new is a lost day. What’s your advice for people navigating careers in construction? Ask a lot of questions.

- Willoughby Corner: BCHA's Landmark Affordable Housing Development
Willoughby Corner: BCHA's Landmark Affordable Housing Development Willoughby Corner: BCHA's Landmark Affordable Housing Development 2025-07-15 Share Share Willoughby Corner was a landmark project filled with amazing challenges, managed by a team of seasoned professionals operating as true partners who were able to turn near catastrophic challenges into landmark successes. Located southwest of the intersection of 120th and Emma streets in East Lafayette, Willoughby Corner is a master-planned greenfield project born of an intergovernmental agreement among Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA), Boulder County, and the City of Lafayette. Pinkard Construction was the CM/GC construction manager at risk collaborating with RS&H Architects and BCHA. The Willoughby Corner project was an exceptionally well planned and designed development, accounting for the lifestyle needs of low-income families, seniors, and individuals. As a Colorado leader in affordable housing construction, Pinkard was well positioned with a senior staff and a great construction plan, ready to go to work to meet BCHA’s funding and construction expectations. Pinkard was tasked to build Phase 1, which included a 63-unit apartment building for 55-and-over residents, four multi-family buildings totaling 129 units, a community center, pickleball courts, and considerable roads and infrastructure (R&I) improvements. Pinkard would also be working to meet BCHA’s expectations for sustainable design and construction, hoping to achieve the status of Colorado’s largest ZERH (Zero Energy Ready Home) housing community. PRECONSTRUCTION With numerous funding sources covering various aspects of this large project, Pinkard provided 30+ estimates during the complicated two-year-long preconstruction phase. Working closely with RS&H Architects, Pinkard’s intensive collaboration and creativity in design optimization ensured a timely, in-budget construction start. Funding included 4% and 9% CHFA tax credits, “plus 30 other components of the Capital Stack that brought the funding together for this project,” says Leighton Neff, Pinkard’s chief preconstruction manager. The site and infrastructure portion was paid by ARPA funds. Key preconstruction achievements included finding room in the budget to keep the development’s central clubhouse, which serves as the centralized hub for all security, low voltage systems and infrastructure. Willoughby was not originally planned as a ZERH community, so when BCHA decided to incorporate that level of sustainability into the project, Pinkard devoted considerable time and manpower to learning everything about Willoughby’s ZERH requirements and BCHA’s expectations. “There are no petroleum-based services on this entire 24-acre site," says Neff. "There is no gas other than a diesel generator for backup, which at one point BCHA didn't even want. This is true ZERH.” Willoughby Corner’s energy plan includes extensive geothermal and solar energy systems. The geothermal system – which will provide space heating and cooling to units – consists of 90 vertical bores, each 600 feet deep. The available rooftop solar array is expected to offset about 40 percent of energy use. ROADS & INFRASTRUCTURE (R&I) DELAYS The roads and infrastructure improvements came with considerable jurisdictional challenges as Pinkard collaborated with the City of Lafayette to work through the city’s long-term R&I plans. Thanks to a strong collaboration among the owner/design team, Pinkard, WT Excavating (WT), and the city, Pinkard and WT made significant modifications to the existing construction and logistics plans to accommodate the city’s evolving requirements. Despite this great teamwork, the R&I modifications resulted in a five-month delay to construction start. BCHA granted Pinkard a five-month schedule extension, but all parties agreed that meeting the originally contracted completion date was critical to BCHA’s funding needs. The R&I components included the early construction of a road that bisected Pinkard’s jobsite and served as a main feeder for an adjacent school. As a result, Pinkard managed school traffic daily mornings and afternoons, which included managing pedestrian traffic and rerouting or rescheduling materials deliveries for two full school years. Unforeseen R&I conditions that potentially threatened the schedule included the discovery of a crumbling sanitary line tie-in that forced an early resequencing while details of the unforeseen work were worked out with the City. PINKARD FRAMEWORKS During this time, Pinkard’s in-house framing division, Pinkard Frameworks, was responsible for constructing all six buildings of the Willoughby development. Fortunately, unlike traditional framers, Pinkard Frameworks’ approach included an in-depth planning process and comprehensive constructability review to set up the construction phase for success. “Willoughby’s complex framing design came with challenging non-standard wall heights, specialty long-span floor trusses, and angled cantilevers requiring modified truss designs,” says Pinkard’s Wood Frame Manager Dan Harris. “There were also unique parapets, recessed decks, five different truss types, three different floor levels, and 13 different wall heights for any given building. A typical multi-family project has two or three different wall heights and simple runs of stairs. For Willoughby, this complex design required every single stud to be a custom cut – that’s no exaggeration.” Stairs presented another unique condition challenging the team to balance the architect’s intent with the post-and-beam requirements for landings. To find the perfect blend of structural integrity, aesthetics, and efficiency, Pinkard brought a truss designer into the team to refine floor and roof framing detailing, eventually settling on the perfect blend of style, integrity and efficiencies. Pinkard then brought in a specialty supplier to provide stair design solutions with custom steel brackets. According to RS&H Principal and Architect Tino Leone, “The partnership between cost estimating, constructability reviews, and our design team was very fruitful. We were able to have lots of good, productive conversations about different building systems and details of how the wood framing went together.” Dan Harris agrees, saying “The architect and engineer were generous with reviewing our teams ‘ solutions and providing timely responses. Their real-time assistance was invaluable in keeping the project on track.” To ensure the right blend of speed and quality, Pinkard Frameworks augmented the production framing crews with a top specialty carpentry crew to build stairs and complete custom framing. Light gauge metal framing (LGMF) also came into play. “Pinkard used LGMF with the drywall contractor for more efficient sequencing,” explains Tino Leone. “Not having to get the rough carpentry sub back out onto the site definitely helped the schedule.” Thanks to Frameworks’ approach to in-depth planning and constructability review during preconstruction, most of the framing quality control effort was complete before construction started and played a key role in keeping the project on schedule. Frameworks’ focus was saving money for BCHA while maximizing construction efficiencies and avoiding in-field redesigns – all on top of the near-occupied conditions, with heavy school traffic jams and significant road closures and detours impacting site access and deliveries. OWNER FUNDING SAVINGS With Pinkard’s owner-approved schedule extension offsetting the five-month construction start delay, things were running smoothly on the jobsite, but behind the scenes a perilous situation was developing that could cost BCHA approximately $500,000 in year-dated tax funds. “The entire OAC team knew almost from the beginning that BCHA’s funding was based upon a December 31, 2024 construction completion,” explains Construction Manager Joe Revielle. “At first, our delayed construction start seemed like we would miss the 12/31/24 deadline. But we made strong progress that suggested we had a shot at making the original schedule. So BCHA consulted with the rest of the team, and we all agreed to pull out all the stops to see if we could finish within the originally scheduled deadline.” With this new very challenging objective, Pinkard was now endeavoring to construct $83 million dollars in roads, infrastructure, and affordable housing in less than 16 months. MANPOWER CHALLENGES “From the beginning, our Willoughby construction plan was solid,” says Revielle. “Our strong buyout phase ensured adequate staffing and in-depth understanding of scope, quality, and safety requirements. We were ready to roll. But this schedule compression took away our timely start and then we lost five months at the end of construction shooting for the 12/31 deadline.” Pinkard Frameworks was able to ramp up framing crew sizes midway through construction to expedite framing, but other major trades like mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection were locked in with few options for manpower increases. As a result, the only options were to work smarter and longer. Pinkard immediately held scheduling and sequencing charettes with all major trades to evaluate opportunities for tighter sequencing, more effective site logistics and materials handling, and possibilities for overtime with employee incentives. Thanks to dedicated trade partners who bought into the schedule goals, Pinkard was able to shave weeks off the schedule with minimal stacking of trades. But the new challenge was in maintaining a strong quality control program despite the frantic work pace. ENSURING HIGH QUALITY FIT AND FINISH As mentioned earlier, Pinkard Frameworks’ in-depth preconstruction process set the stage for a more efficient wood-framing effort, eliminating waste and improving overall construction quality through better planning. Frameworks’ ability to also ramp up the manpower helped to maintain productivity despite the earlier end date. Says Joe Revielle: “WT Excavating was our ‘super subcontractor’, efficiently performing all wet utility work, dirtwork, site concrete, off-site and on-site paving, and all landscaping. Their performance smoothed the way for the work of other major subcontractors.” To ensure quality with other major trades, Pinkard worked to enhance its existing seven-phased quality control program with an even greater emphasis on architectural mockups and training, additional specialty installation inspections, extra as-built field documentation with 360-degree cloud-based photography, and staying ahead on punch list. Pinkard took advantage of the overall sequencing of the development to use the senior building as an “in-place” mock-up. As the first to be constructed, and having numerous similar components to the rest of the development, Pinkard used the senior building for quality instruction and training. This approach allowed Pinkard and its trade partners a great series of lessons learned that could be applied to the rest of the development, simplifying quality control inspections and punch list throughout. “DOWN TO THE WIRE ” Despite these concerted efforts, there was still a lot of schedule uncertainty. “Near the end of November, nobody thought we were going to make the schedule,” says Revielle. “We were getting nervous comments from investors, attorneys, even people in the field. But we continued to pour on the manpower, spice up our work incentives, and focus on quality and safety. And somehow it all came together. My hat is off to our entire project team. They started in earnest in September 2023 and finished December 31, 2024. That’s 16 months of quality construction under an incredible schedule load.” Pinkard began this $83 million (hard costs) ZERH affordable housing community with an efficient preconstruction phase and a strong construction plan, never expecting to have so many scheduling demands. Without this strong foundation of planning and foresight, the pressures of the schedule could have caused the project to collapse. But Pinkard’s intensive resequencing, major revamping of the construction plan, the enhanced quality control plan, and numerous manpower adjustments resulted in a completion that one design team member described as “miraculous.” In the words of BCHA Executive Director Susana Lopez-Baker: “We delivered a $100+ million project with $15 million in infrastructure improvements—plus 192 housing units—in just 16 months. Pinkard was flexible and solutions focused every step of the way. The result is a beautiful development that the community truly loves.” Currently, Pinkard is continuing with the City’s R&I improvements surrounding the Willoughby development. Roads and infrastructure upgrades are expected to be complete in June 2025.

- Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium | Pinkard Construction | Colorado
Pinkard provided expert construction services for University of Denver on the Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium project. Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium Denver, Colorado, USA University of Denver Seating for 1,960 spectators Higher Education, Recreation, Sports Field, Cast in Place, Pre-Cast Concrete, Masonry, Administration, State of Colorado Contract, Ground Up Pinkard Construction provided comprehensive CM/GC services for the addition of a new lacrosse stadium at the University of Denver. The site is located on the west side of the Ritchie Center along the current east/west walkway at the south side of the lacrosse field. The structure is approximately 350 feet long by 57 feet wide, providing 12 tiers of bleacher seating for 1,960 spectators. The facility includes concessions and ample restroom facilities. The press box is designed to serve soccer and lacrosse, with the soccer scoreboard as part of the south facade. There are team locker room facilities, an office, and changing area for the coaches, and a half-time room for the visiting team. At the west end of the grandstand is a 28 x 36 x 50-foot high stone clad tower, the copper clad roof rising an additional 30 feet to its peak and the base of the finial. The tower provides a small conference/club room overlooking the lacrosse field with mechanical space below. An elevator is provided for access to the press box and upper level ADA seating. The new facility was constructed using a hybrid structural system of cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, and load bearing clay block masonry. The masonry is faced with the same limestone and sandstone that provides the exterior skin for the Ritchie Center and the Stapleton Tennis Center. The new stadium augments what is considered to be one of the premier artificial fields for lacrosse competition in the Front Range. Tight Site and Compressed Construction Schedule A very tight site and seven month construction schedule created interesting challenges in the sequencing of trades and procurement, storage and movement of equipment and materials. Because the limestone quarry required a 6-month lead time to deliver the blocks that make up the face of the stadium, Pinkard worked with the quarry and DU to ensure that limestone delivery would fit into the very short schedule. Winner Associated Builders and Contractors' 1st place, National Excellence in Construction Eagle award. "I know I speak for all members of the Facilities Management team, the design team, and Athletics in general when I say this is one of the most successful projects ever built on this campus. Thank you for your part in making this project such a great success."

They took the attitude of "The best way to approach this is to work on it as a team to get it done." This could have been a very difficult project. Pinkard really rose to the occasion." See the Project Subcontractor relationships "Subcontractors are loyal to Pinkard because Pinkard treats them well; along with Pinkard’s subcontractor vetting process, which I think is pretty strict.

Pinkard and Urban Land Conservancy Break Ground on 102 Affordable Apartments on West Colfax Pinkard and Urban Land Conservancy Break Ground on 102 Affordable Apartments on West Colfax 2024-05-31 Share Share This week, in a ceremony featuring remarks by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Pinkard Construction, a Lakewood-based general contractor, and Urban Land Conservancy , a Denver-based nonprofit real estate organization, broke ground on The Irving at Mile High Vista. Located at 3270 W. Colfax Ave, the new structure will add 102 affordable apartments (studios and one-, two- and three-bedrooms) to the West Colfax neighborhood, serving households making 20-80% of the area median income (AMI). With funding from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), RBC, the State of Colorado, and the City and County of Denver, among others, it is one of the first developments to use Prop 123 affordable-housing financing approved by Colorado voters in 2022. “This is a combination between a partnership with the state leadership, with the city leadership, with CHFA, with our Prop 123 funds, and with amazing community partners like the Urban Land Conservancy,” Mayor Johnston said in his remarks, “all of whom have come together to make sure Denver remains a place where, yes, we can have one of the fastest growing economies in the country, but also a place where, when you drop your second grader off at school, and that second grade teacher picks her up in their arms, that teacher can still afford to live in this neighborhood.” The Irving will use renewable energy, and highly efficient heat pumps for heating and cooling, as well as a rooftop solar array — all to support a cleaner, more sustainable environment inside and out. The project is expected to meet or exceed National Green Building Standards (NGBS). Other climate-friendly features include energy-efficient appliances and lighting, low-flow plumbing fixtures, water-efficient landscaping and electric vehicle charging stations. In 2011, Urban Land Conservancy purchased the 2-acre site where the Denver Public Library’s Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales Branch and Del Norte’s affordable Avondale Apartments are located today. The Irving is the third and final parcel at Mile High Vista to be developed. "The Irving is the culmination of the community’s long-term vision for Mile High Vista, a mixed-use development that offers affordable housing and library services," said Sarah Harman, senior vice president of real estate at ULC. “Because of the ongoing displacement of longtime residents in the West Colfax neighborhood, we believe it’s more important than ever to deliver affordable housing here.” The building was designed by Studio Completiva. With construction beginning now, Pinkard expects to complete the building by mid-2025. "We are thrilled to partner with ULC on this important project that will provide much-needed affordable housing for Denver residents," said Tony Burke, president of Pinkard Construction. "We share their vision of creating equitable and sustainable communities through quality construction." Learn more about The Irving at urbanlandc.org/irving-mile-high-vista .

- Brown Palace Hotel Spa | Pinkard Construction | Colorado
Pinkard provided expert construction services for Brown Palace Hotel Associates Limited Partnership on the Brown Palace Hotel Spa project. Brown Palace Hotel Spa Denver, Colorado, USA Brown Palace Hotel Associates Limited Partnership 6,000 Sq. Ft. Hospitality, Recreation Multi-Family To keep abreast with trends in the luxury hotel market, the Brown Palace Hotel added a new spa to its 114-year-old building in downtown Denver. To make room for the spa, Pinkard demolished 5,000 sf of space on two floors and relocated the Brown Palace Flower Shop across the street. Pinkard also did a complete gut and renovation of the first-floor public restrooms. Project Challenges: Working with marginal as-built drawings Maintaining a tight schedule despite numerous unforeseen conditions. Minimizing disruptions to hotel guests. Creating space for and installing a two-stop elevator. Quality Control Prior to construction, Pinkard met with the architect and subcontractors to review the scope and field conditions that followed demolition. Asbestos-containing material (ACM) was found on plumbing fittings above the hard-lid ceiling and beneath the carpet. Although the owner secured the services of an abatement contractor to remove these materials prior to construction, additional ACM was discovered during demolition. Pinkard phased the ACM removal during off-hours to maintain the tight construction schedule. Construction Expertise Adaptive Reuse – A Contractor’s Perspective Read More "I know I can speak for the Brown Palace and our entire design team when I say that your belief in our vision went a long way in making this a success. Thank you all for your tireless dedication to making this incredibly challenging project a success." Architect "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." Owner's Representative "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." Hospitality Client " With this demanding schedule and the countless unforeseen conditions, this project could have been a nightmare. Your understanding and dedication to the CM/GC team relationship made a difficult job bearable." Architect "Pinkard understood my desires for the end users. At the end of the day, we knew that no one was going to know or care about the headaches involved with getting ductwork into the ceiling. Pinkard understood the needs of the end-users and made it a very successful project." Architect "Because (the Brown Palace Hotel) provides unique, Four Diamond service and luxury to a very demanding clientele, any inconvenience to the guests would have been unacceptable. Pinkard handled these issues expertly." Owner's Representative "Occupied facility issues were handled excellently - the scheduling of noisy or disruptive work was something that Pinkard and the hotel worked very well together on. If a new guest was in the Brown, I’m not sure that they would have even known that construction was underway."

- CSU Behavioral Sciences Building | Pinkard Construction | Colorado
Pinkard provided expert construction services for Colorado State University on the CSU Behavioral Sciences Building project. CSU Behavioral Sciences Building Fort Collins, CO, USA Colorado State University 92,912 Sq. Ft. Higher Education, Office, LEED Gold, Administration, State of Colorado Contract, Classrooms, Occupied, Ground Up, Renovation The new Behavioral Sciences Building office facility contains approximately 25,000 sf of office space on three floors, along with classrooms, lecture halls, group study spaces, a large wi-fi study lounge, and a partial basement. Pinkard performed extensive quality control, constructability analysis, and in-house Building Information Modeling (BIM) services to construct CSU’s newest “gateway” office and academic building. Thanks to very few change orders and aggressive contingency management, we were able to return over 87% of the bidding contingency and 50% of the construction contingency to the owner prior to construction completion. To ensure quality on 54,000 sf of raised flooring, Pinkard constructed a mock-up that incorporated key details and penetrations. Meetings were held to instruct crews on procedures and expectations for proper installation. Pinkard assigned a full-time QC person to inspect caulking details at the perimeter of the system and all penetrations to ensure air-tightness. During construction, the floor was protected with masonite laid over sheets of plastic. Mock-ups for exterior stone, window, and curtain wall interfaces helped Bennett Wagner & Grody Architects (BWG) and CSU decide on stone patterning and color, and to refine watertight details. The weekly site walks with CSU and BWG, sometimes lasting three or more hours, were valuable in identifying deficiencies and correcting them in real time.

We finished within schedule, under budget, and with less manpower than other similar jobs. This is one of the best projects we’ve had in my 14 years with Midwest Drywall." See the Project Warranty work above and beyond "[Your warranty superintendent] has been extremely helpful with all of our warranty issues here at Boulevard, and I have enjoyed working with him. There were many instances where he went above and beyond to assist us with questions and inquiries we have had, and he has facilitated with communications between us and the contractors or subcontractors needed for specific issues." See the Project Sequencing Approach "Pinkard’s (sequencing) approach made (wall panel assembly) easier to manage, even with 60, 70, 80 people on a job. We assigned a qualified foreman for each pod, which allowed us to maintain production and communicate QC fixes easier and quicker."

See the Project Navigating supply chain issues, labor shortages "We all know the incredible headwinds the construction industry has been facing for the last couple of years with supply chain issues, labor shortages, lack of qualified workers, and construction pricing escalations, yet your team hit those head-on, and managed the project very effectively and with integrity. " See the Project Couldn't Have Been Happier With Precon "I couldn't have been happier having Pinkard on board to help us through that preconstruction process. Our project (Vida at Sloan’s Lake) took so long to get all the financing partners secured, it pushed us out almost a year, but Pinkard held their pricing. It really was kind of a cool way to do what felt like a design-build approach (under a CMaR contract). It's good to have a contractor helping us figure out what structural systems and even down to the nitty-gritty of how to do different slabs and soundproofing."
