Creating Real Paths to Success for Women in Construction Creating Real Paths to Success for Women in Construction March 8, 2024 Share Share It’s probably not a secret that the construction industry has not always been the most welcoming place for women to be employed. Even today, women make up only 10% of the construction workforce. But with an estimated 45,000 new workers needed in the construction industry by 2027 just in Colorado, changing that landscape is not only the right thing to do, it’s imperative to our success. While change is not easy or straightforward, Pinkard has worked to identify areas of action to encourage women to join and have long, productive careers in the construction industry. These include working at the K-12 level to advocate for careers in construction, actively recruiting women into the industry, providing specific support, and mentoring once they are brought on board.   Early Education Pinkard has invested in recruiting and outreach at the K-12 level. “We are talking with schools and attending career fairs to let kids know that there are great jobs available in the construction industry,” said HR specialist, Tanya Navarro. “There are multiple paths to success. College is a great option, and so are the trades. In the trades, students can learn on the job while they’re making a living and not have to go into debt to learn skills that lead to a job that pays well.” Assistant project manager Krystyl Alexander agrees that positive career influences on young women can greatly boost the prospects of increasing the construction labor pool and giving women golden opportunities to flourish in a wide-open career market. “Construction seems to offer more job security and better pay than many conventional women-centric careers. My number one priority was “can I get a job after graduation? A lot of my friends in other majors have struggled to find work and are in the realm of ‘educated but unemployed.’”  Actively Recruiting Women Pinkard strategically targets events and organizations that cater to women in the industry. “Although we strive for a diverse workforce that represents both our community’s demographic and our clients’, we always hire the strongest talent for the job. We intentionally remain agnostic to the demographic of the candidate when making a hiring decision. With greater applicant flow from women, we are, however, finding more often the best person for the job is a woman. Not because she is a woman, but because of the technical skills, soft skills, experience and potential that she has earned,” says Navarro. Pinkard has also worked to train hiring managers to recognize bias and eliminated automated differentiation of resumes to include more people who have taken non-traditional career paths. “Not everyone comes to construction in the same way, but talent is talent and we want to hire that talent regardless of how those skills were acquired,” says construction manager Joe Revielle. “We have people who switched careers midstream and people who worked their way up through the trades as well as people who came to us straight out of construction management programs. They all have the ability to do great work and bring huge value to our clients.” Pinkard intern Kristy Swisher is a great example of someone with a non-traditional path into the industry. After starting a family and running her own business outside of the construction industry, COVID-19 threatened her livelihood. Considering a career change, Kristy took advantage of some available college grant money and enrolled in MSU Denver’s construction management program. She is currently in her first construction internship and has just over a year to go before graduation. Kristy is working on Pinkard’s South Metro Fire Rescue project and loves her project teammates. “When I first walked into the job trailer, I thought ‘Oh wow! Fish out of water! I’m the only woman here.’ But I quickly realized that no one was treating me that way. That ‘elephant in the room’ was strictly in my head.’ Once I got over that initial insecurity it has been great!” Support and Mentorship for Women Pinkard has also prioritized the support and mentorship for women coming into the industry. “We recognized a need for a group to specifically target some of the shortcomings in our industry. So we took AGC’s lead and created an internal Culture of CARE committee at Pinkard. One of the pillars of that group is to ensure that our teammates have support and mentorship as they move forward with us,” says Pinkard president Tony Burke. Alexander believes that Pinkard’s emphasis on understanding personalities is a great foundation for women seeking success in construction. “The ability to understand the personalities of the entire team helps us to understand people of different backgrounds with different insights, experience, and diversity, and that makes you stronger as a team and encourages the success of the individual.”  The Future Looks Bright “Hiring and training new talent from all walks of life is pivotally important to our industry. In addition to providing us with the quantity of talent we need, attracting people from across the spectrum provides important new perspectives, ideas, and ways of doing things. The diversity makes us better,” says Burke. Learn More Careers Apply Today!

Pinkard Tops Out $80,000,000 Willoughby Corner in Boulder County Pinkard Tops Out $80,000,000 Willoughby Corner in Boulder County April 10, 2024 Share Share rendering courtesy HB&A Architecture April 3, 2024: Pinkard Construction, a leading Colorado affordable housing contractor, celebrated the topping out of Willoughby Corner, a 400-unit affordable housing development in Boulder County. The celebration included a catered lunch with a focus on worker appreciation with a raffle for various prizes. In attendance were representatives of owner Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA), HB&A Architects, Norris Design, Pinkard Frameworks framing division, Farnsworth Group engineers, Drexel Barrell, and other project consultants. The ceremony celebrates the topping-out of Willoughby’s six phase-one buildings. Phase one includes two nine-plex apartment buildings for larger families, two one- and two-bedroom multi-family apartment buildings, an independent senior living building, and a community center. The first homes, 63 affordable ADA-accessible apartments for adults aged 55 and over, will be ready for move-in by the end of 2024. Each building includes rooftop patios with mountain views, lounges, libraries, and meeting space. There are 192 units in phase one. BCHA Development Director Molly Chiang: “I’m so proud of the team and their high-quality work to get us framed out. Pinkard and the subs have made such amazing progress despite crazy snowstorms this past season. We are excited to top-out today and move into spring!” Pinkard Frameworks framing division played a key role in keeping the project on schedule, with in-depth planning during preconstruction. Frameworks’ focus was saving money for BCHA while maximizing construction efficiencies and avoiding in-field redesigns. Frameworks Wood Frame Manager Dan Harris: “With Willoughby’s various wall-heights and complicated truss requirements, every single stud had to have a custom cut. Our preconstruction preparations included redlining the floor plans of each wall type and ordering different-length stud materials to reduce waste. The additional cost of field-cutting studs was incorporated into the carpenters’ schedule of values. These proactive preconstruction activities greatly contributed to keeping this project on schedule and in budget.” 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 $3.1 million purchase of the land, and $5.3 million in grants for Willoughby’s water rights. Willoughby Corner is also possible thanks to Boulder County Commissioners’ contributions. Commissioners have added nearly $13 million in county and American Rescue Plan Act funds to ensure Willoughby Corner will delivery much-needed affordable housing to the community. Total development and construction costs for Willoughby Corner are currently $114 million. Willoughby Corner’s affordable homes are expected to serve generations of families, individuals, older adults, and the workforce earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income (AMI).

Ft., 139 Units Affordable Housing, Multi-Family Housing, Sustainable, LIHTC, Wood Framed, Enterprise Green Communities, Publicly Funded, Ground Up The Edge Ph I is a 82,000 sf ground-up facility with 70-units of affordable housing for working families and survivors of the 2012 High Park Fire and September 2013 floods, plus permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans. The facility consists of six three-story wood-framed buildings and a single-story clubhouse. 60 of the units are set aside for income-qualified individuals; the remaining ten units are reserved for homeless veterans.

Pinkard worked closely with Loveland Housing Authority to help the authority pull together funding from a variety of sources. We also held numerous meetings with OZ Architecture to provide in-depth drawing review, constructability comments and other input. This collaboration resulted in well-detailed drawings and a solid Green Design and sustainability approach.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Security Properties on the Reserve at Northglenn project. Reserve at Northglenn Northglenn, CO, USA Security Properties 301,200 Sq. Ft., 270 Units Affordable Housing, Multi-Family Housing, Wood Framed, LIHTC, Occupied, Renovation, Ground Up Early in design, parking/ unit density complications with city planning and zoning required a dramatic cutback in the number of buildings SP was planning. The timing of the decision by planning and zoning jeopardized SP’s year-dated funding and required a quick, efficient response by the entire team to keep the project on track. Pinkard quickly worked closely with the client and EJ Architecture to work out massing strategies to balance the client’s unit density and parking needs with city planning and zoning restrictions. Despite considerable numbers of unforeseen conditions and numerous owner changes associated with extensive RFI’s, Pinkard stayed on schedule by taking advantage of available economies of scale. This allowed the team to increase productivity from completing four units per week to six-to-eight units. This was accomplished despite apartment-staff turnover and a steep learning curve for tenants and staff regarding move-out logistics and construction commencement milestones. Pinkard also collaborated with SP during construction to help SP to develop construction standards and specifications for SP’s company-wide building standards. Scope of work on the renovation includes new roofs, full paint, window replacement, new individual water heaters and HVAC, and ADA modifications. Ground-up construction consists of two new 40,600 sq ft buildings totaling 40 units.

With 17+ years of experience in commercial construction, Mike brings to Pinkard a deep background as a design-builder, team builder, and collaborator. Describing himself as “a builder at heart,” Mike’s extensive commercial background includes award-winning experience in multi-family, municipal, recreation, office, transit/fleet maintenance, and healthcare.

Mike’s many project types vary in size from $650,000 to $140 million. He is currently slated to manage some of Pinkard’s higher profile municipal projects.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in construction engineering with a structural design emphasis from North Dakota State University in 2011. He has been building in the Denver market for 14 years. Mike’s award-winning efforts include national recognition from Engineering News Record and local kudos for design-build excellence from Associated General Contractors.

Pinkard Tops Out Phase III of The Edge Pinkard Tops Out Phase III of The Edge June 25, 2025 Share Share The third and final phase of Loveland Housing Authority’s The Edge Affordable Apartments development is currently on time and in budget, with two of its three buildings at or nearing topping out . The Edge’s on time/in budget status is largely due to Pinkard’s strong preconstruction partnering effort with OZ Architecture and the meticulous due diligence from the contractor’s in-house framing division, Pinkard Frameworks. The preconstruction effort that included a comprehensive lessons-learned study from Pinkard/OZ’s past two Edge phases helped provide the most complete set of drawings of any of the three Edge projects. Frameworks’ advanced CAD-based constructability review helped to eliminate the waste that typically goes with a traditional framing process. Pinkard also identified multiple strategies to increase efficiency in the field by identifying potential conflicts and the most effective approaches to assemble the wood framing. Thanks to strong past partnering efforts, Pinkard was able to retain most of the major subs from past Edge projects, eliminating the startup learning curve and achieving outstanding construction quality. Due to proactive procurement processes and effective subcontractor collaboration, Pinkard was able to hold pricing for more than a year despite a variable market and the fluctuations associated with tariffs. LHA’s Director of Real Estate Development Eric Hull: “Loveland Housing Authority is thrilled with the construction progress to date. Pinkard Construction continues to demonstrate why they are one of our most trusted general contractors. Their dedication, expertise, and innovative construction techniques have kept the project on schedule and within budget, despite several weather delays during a rainy spring season. Phase III will add 66 much-needed affordable housing units to Loveland. With Phases I and II completed in 2016 and 2020, respectively, the Edge campus will soon total 205 units — further advancing LHA’s mission to provide quality affordable housing for the Loveland community. All three phases were designed and constructed to meet Enterprise Green Communities Criteria. Project financing includes Low Income Housing Tax Credits and municipal and private funding from sources that include Wells Fargo, Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), Colorado Division of Housing, and Loveland Housing Development Corporation.

How Pinkard Invests in People How Pinkard Invests in People August 17, 2022 Share Share In Colorado, the construction industry is facing a historic and problematic worker shortage, and Pinkard is focused on attracting top-tier talent through a focus on employee development, staying local, and a focus building high-performing teams over profits. "Pinkard is just the right size; I like that I make it home to eat dinner with my family every night," said Stephen vonDreele, a Project manager. "Pinkard doesn't just uproot you to work on a remote jobsite. They focus on winning work in our own backyard." For 60 years, Pinkard has built exclusively along the Colorado Front Range, and there are no plans to change that. Tony Burke, Pinkard's President, says that keeping its employees local is a high priority, and the overall direction he sees for the company is one of "controlled growth." "Pinkard is a Colorado company; we build projects for Colorado institutions Like CSU (Colorado State University) and School of Mines and affordable and senior housing that has a positive impact on this community," said Burke. "As many companies grow and branch out, they send crews out and their employees live in hotels; that is not us. We want our people to be with their families and enjoy living in this great state." In terms of community involvement, it is not rare to see several Pinkard employees in their bright pink "PinkCrew" shirts spending some of their provided VTO (volunteer time off) working together on Habitat for Humanity builds, homeless youth outreach or paint-a-thons for elderly people 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. "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." In addition to this opportunity to give back, Pinkard employees work in an environment where the company invests heavily in developing their skills and diversifying project experience. Promotions are frequently made from within, and most employees start in rotational positions. When recruiting construction-focused graduates, Pinkard allows them to “try out” each of the three main career paths in Operations: Construction Management, Field Operations, and Preconstruction Services. This allows everyone to find where they will be the most successful and creates a greater understanding (for both individual employees and for the entire organization) about how each division interacts to serve the client. Leighton Neff, a current senior preconstruction manager, discussed how shortly after graduating from Colorado State University in 2006, he joined Pinkard and has since held Project management, field operations, and preconstruction roles. "I really enjoy that I got to work on different project types and try out the different parts of the organization," said Neff. "Pinkard has such a diversity of project types and sizes. I like that, unlike other contractors, I will not be locked into one project type for the rest of my career at the company. I get to explore a bit." Pinkard's controlled growth strategy is what makes this approach possible. Because Pinkard is mindful of matching its pursuits and workload to its staffing levels, it creates an environment where work-life balance and its employees' wellbeing are prioritized. "We have a unique culture here and are protective of it. It is why we do extensive strategic alignment interviews and communication and work preference assessments that we use to shape our interviews and even after an employee is hired to build high-functioning work teams.," said Jeff Kessler, Director of Human Resources. "We ask a lot of our employees in terms of professionalism and technical skills. So, we work hard to ensure that they are supported, developed, and have balance."

See the Project Following Up On Promises "The biggest thing that I appreciated was Pinkard doing what they said they’d do. Whether it was just a simple “I’ll get back to you on that in two days,” to the big stuff. They were very good at following up on promises." See the Project Project of the highest quality "On behalf of the University of Denver, I am pleased to recognize the outstanding work of Pinkard Construction in successfully constructing the very challenging Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. Pinkard and the project team have produced a project that is of the highest quality." 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 Tight construction site and on time "Most people did not feel a stadium could be constructed in the tight quarters that were available, let alone get a majority of the construction done in time for the lacrosse season. We appreciate everything Pinkard did in working with our athletic staff to make sure the lacrosse season was a success in the new Barton Stadium Our coaches, players and staff are very proud of the stadium and how it turned out. Thanks to Pinkard Construction in making the University of Denver home of the only dedicated college lacrosse stadium in the country."
