The senior apartments renovation for Longmont Housing Authority took 10 months. 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 Pinkard Hires Eric Kellstrom as Senior Superintendent 2025-05-21 Learn More Pinkard Guest Lecturers Kick Off Inaugural DU Affordable Housing Program 2025-04-30 Learn More Pinkard Carpenter Named Apprentice of the Year 2025-05-19 Learn More Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage 2025-04-08 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Pinkard Names New Chief Business Development Officer 2022-06-03 Share Share Pinkard Construction names Jose Amaya as its New Chief Business Development Officer. Amaya, an experienced construction professional with over 35 years of experience, will push the company into additional markets while maintaining controlled growth. "I see enormous potential in Pinkard for markets like healthcare, mission-critical, life science, and aerospace, to name a few," said Amaya. " I hope that we can branch out while still maintaining the same level of construction quality, safety, and client intimacy." Amaya said Pinkard's homegrown history and deep roots in the community are significant differentiators in this crowded construction market. "A company celebrating its 60th anniversary in a market where some of the largest general contractors in the country are competing for work means they offer something the big guys cannot," he explains. "I want to help them scale their business in a way that preserves that client experience." Amaya has served in executive-level business development roles at companies like JE Dunn Construction, Cumming Corporation, and, most recently, Select Building Group Commercial. He has been identifying opportunities and building relationships with Colorado Owners, Developers, General Contractors, and Architectural/Engineering firms for the last 25 years. Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction, says that now that the company is completing projects valued in the $100 million range, they are excited to bring their unique capabilities to new markets. He adds that the person representing them must be the perfect mix of Pinkard's past and future. "The diversity of [Jose's] experience is important to why we hired him," said Burke. "The fact that he started his career on the operations side and his work growing small businesses and minority contractors is an excellent fit for Pinkard's culture."

Willoughby Corner First Phase Construction Plan Goes to City of Lafayette 2023-01-11 Share Share Willoughby Corner, the Boulder County Housing Authority’s (BCHA’s) upcoming new neighborhood of permanently affordable homes in east Lafayette, continues to advance toward construction starting early next year, with its first phase of construction targeting a February groundbreaking. Willoughby Corner, the Boulder County Housing Authority’s (BCHA’s) upcoming new neighborhood of permanently affordable homes in east Lafayette, continues to advance toward construction starting early next year, with its first phase of construction targeting a February groundbreaking. Pinkard Construction, an affordable housing general contractor celebrating 60 years in Colorado , was awarded the project in 2022 and is working closely with Norris Design and HB&A Architects . “Pinkard is excited to be a part of BCHA’s mission to provide housing relief to the families, individuals, single parents, older adults, and people living with disabilities in the area,” said Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction. “It’s no secret that rising housing prices have made renting and homeownership unattainable for many and Willoughby Corner is a lifeline for many.” In October, BCHA received approval from the City of Lafayette for Willoughby Corner’s Planned Unit Development application, which sets the framework and rules for proceeding through the multiple phases of the site plan, including construction. In November, Willoughby Corner received a crucial second award of 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the Colorado Housing Finance Authority that will help cover the costs of the development. On January 11, the Lafayette Planning Commission will consider BCHA’s next major step, the development Site Plan, which focuses on architecture and site-specific elements for each proposed lot in the Willoughby Corner neighborhood. “This is an exciting time in the life of Willoughby Corner,” said BCHA Senior Housing Developer Molly Chiang. “Now is the moment when it really begins to come to life in terms of what it will look like and how it will be built on the site. We are thrilled to be able to work so closely with city staff and Lafayette community members to make this important step forward for an area where affordable housing is so needed.” Lafayette's median home listing price is now approaching $600,000, while rentals are averaging over $1,900 per month, unattainable for many community members, especially those in lower- and middle-income brackets. Across Boulder County, more than 21,000 households are spending over half their income on housing costs. Willoughby Corner will serve households earning 60 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) with below-market-rate rental homes and for-sale options for households earning up to 120 percent AMI. For a three-person household, these incomes equate to maximums of $67,000 for rental housing and $135,000 per year for for-sale housing, respectively. BCHA’s affordable homes save residents hundreds of dollars per month in rent and utilities, ensuring income is available for other important needs and making it easier to save money, including for future home purchases. Willoughby Corner will cater to families, individuals, single parents, older adults, people living with disabilities, and more. It will also support Lafayette’s workforce and the businesses that employ them. In addition to the 400 affordable homes built in multiple phases, Willoughby Corner buildings are Net Zero Energy Ready. They will feature solar photovoltaics, geothermal heating and cooling, and electric charging stations, a network of community gardens, pedestrian and bike trails, and access to transit. With Site Plan approvals, construction on Willoughby Corner’s 55-and-over homes could begin as early as February 2023, with move-ins possible by spring 2024. BCHA could begin taking applications for these homes beginning in fall 2023. BCHA will provide updates at www.WilloughbyCorner.org .

Pinkard looks back on our project with Denver's Public Works Department and our strategy to overcome a schedule crunch. Project Rewind: Assuming Risk to Meet Deadlines at Denver's Central Platte Campus 2024-04-22 Share Share Meeting project deadlines is often a challenging task, especially when faced with unexpected hurdles and urgent end dates. However, with careful planning and a proactive approach, a responsible and dedicated contractor can overcome these challenges to ensure a timely completion. During the design-build-team procurement and selection phase of the Denver Central Platte Campus project, Pinkard recognized that this multi-phased project included a critical, early-phase milestone that could not be met given the City’s team-selection schedule. In other words: if the Pinkard design-build (D-B) team was selected to build the project, by the time they received notice of project award, it would already be too late to meet the first milestone. However, the team recognized that the key to overcoming this “Catch-22" challenge was found in the City’s complicated planning and zoning process: If the Pinkard design-build team’s proposed design could be submitted for initial planning review well before project-award, there was a chance that the first critical project milestone could be met. But this plan came with the risk and expense of getting the design before the planning board with no guarantee that the City would select the Pinkard design-build team to construct the project. True to the spirit of design-build best practices, Pinkard assumed this risk for the benefit of the project and scheduled a series of meetings with the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to get design review and initial approvals for the site plan - even before Pinkard’s design-build proposal was even presented to the project selection committee. This bold move allowed Pinkard to proceed with permitting on the first stage just in time to commence construction after the property's title was transferred to the City. The second key involved assuming more risks by placing orders for long-lead equipment while Pinkard was still in contract negotiations with the City. These two gambles paid off, allowing Pinkard to finish the first two phases on time and the third and final phase ahead of schedule. As a result of the Pinkard D-B team’s proactive dedication to project success, the Central Platte Campus project received national accolades from a variety of industry trade groups including a first-place National Excellence in Construction award from Associated Builders and Contractors, a national Design-Build Excellence award from the Design-Build Institute of America, and the national Brownfield Renewal Award for Environmental Impact .

Pinkard installed the rope wall at Moorhead Rec Center themselves after a subcontractor's quote was too high. It took two carpenters two weeks, but the completed wall is now the pride of the recreation Center. Pinkard Self Performs Unique Design Features 2022-03-14 Share Share On the Moorhead Recreation Center project, BRS’s impressive rope wall was thoroughly mocked up in miniature during design. During bidding, the feature was so unique only one subcontractor was willing to “throw a number at it” — to the tune of $20,000. Convinced that the number was excessive, Pinkard decided to self-perform the work. After all, we would just be running a length of rope through a series of eyelets, pulling the rope tight, and we’d be done. We set aside one person to do the work in one day. When it came time to construct the 70-foot-long art piece, the installation procedures determined during the mock-up phase didn’t work: the rope wouldn’t slide through the eyelets, and tensioning the rope to the required specifications caused stainless steel eyelet bolts to strip and shoot out at an alarming velocity entirely. Senior PM Derek Stathis: “This installation was incredibly complicated. We had different colored climbing ropes looped up and down within a steel frame, with the loops interconnecting to form a colorful waterfall pattern. But you can’t just weave it all simultaneously and tighten it. You have to put it through a top, loop it in the middle of the frame with another section of rope coming up from the bottom, then pull it to the top; then use the come-along to tighten it; clamp it off, then do another loop. You can’t pull more than one at a time because the eyelets are too small to let the rope slide freely. Our field engineer did it a little bit, and he got blisters. We did this for 1,000 feet of rope.” Ultimately, this one-person job required two carpenters two full weeks to complete, and it required several field modifications including the addition of carabiners to help the rope slide and a rope safety system to eliminate the risk of the eyelet bolts blowing out. The completed rope wall is stunning and the recreation center's crown jewel.

Mountain Vista Medical Center (MVMC) and Northern Colorado Family Medicine (NCFM), both in Greeley, will receive cosmetic upgrades beginning in late August. Pinkard Begins Improvements on Two More Banner Health Centers 2024-08-07 Share Share This month, Pinkard Construction begins tenant improvements on two Banner Health campuses in Northern Colorado. Mountain Vista Medical Center (MVMC) and Nor thern Colorado Family Medicine (NCFM), both in Greeley, will receive cosmetic upgrades beginning in late August a nd running th rough the end of November . Both projects will be occupied and constructed concurrently, with a total budget of $626,876. The MVMC building’s scope of work will span the urology department, the rehabilitation department, the gastrointestinal wing, and the orthopedic department, and feature new finishes and details such as redesigned reception areas and other cosmetic upgrades including paint, flooring, and casework repairs. The NCFM building’s updates will include a new reception desk area, upgrades to nurse station countertops and offices, and new paint throughout. “At the heart of it, we’re upgrading their current workspaces to make their office staff and clientele more comfortable,” says Pinkard Assistant Project Manager Krystyl Alexander. “The changes might seem small, but they make a big difference for people who are working or being treated in the building.” The job’s biggest challenge will be completing all renovations while the medical center remains fully and continuously occupie d. With an intricate phasing plan and schedule that will allow for work in both buildings simultaneously, Pinkard will rely heavily on its close partnerships with subcontractors and constant communication with the department heads in each building to complete the project smoothly. “We really had to get creative with an in-depth phasing plan to be sure that we are only working in a given area when the department allows us to,” Alexander explains. “It’s kind of a logistical maze, where we’re going in when there aren't patients in those spaces and sprucing them up overnight before people come back in. It’s been a fun challenge scheduling-wise to get that right." Back in 2022 Pinkard completed a similar refurbishment of Banner Health’s North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC), in addition to building over 55 healthcare projects across Colorado's Front Range. “We are proud to work with an outstanding partner like Banner Health,” says Alexander. “Each project allows us to deepen our understanding of Banner’s needs and the challenges of working in occupied medical environments, and it feels good knowing we are helping essential workers do their job more efficiently in spaces that aid in their productivity.” Learn More Healthcare Renovations and New Construction See Projects Occupied Renovation Construction See Projects Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Hires Eric Kellstrom as Senior Superintendent 2025-05-21 Learn More Pinkard Guest Lecturers Kick Off Inaugural DU Affordable Housing Program 2025-04-30 Learn More Pinkard Carpenter Named Apprentice of the Year 2025-05-19 Learn More Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage 2025-04-08 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

A complicated renovation. A challenge to keep costs low. A beautiful outcome. Project Rewind: Keeping Costs Down So Astroscale Can Zap Space Trash in Style 2024-06-06 Share Share There’s a lot of talk about creating a more sustainable future here on this planet, but less about doing so beyond the earth’s inner atmosphere. Enter Astroscale, which since 2013 has been working to advance safe and sustainable growth in outer space by extending the life of orbiting satellites and clearing the skies of hazardous space debris. Founded and headquartered in Japan, Astroscale chose Denver for its U.S. headquarters. Located in South Denver, off Broadway and Evans, the company found its new office in the form of a 100-year-old building—once home to a metal foundry—featuring heavy timbers, a brick envelope, huge windows, glass block, and open spaces. The design intent of the 13,500 square foot renovation was to complement the existing structure and its history with an innovative office space inspired by traditional Japanese design and the science fiction of Star Wars and Star Trek . After coming in second in the bidding stage, Pinkard was hired by Astroscale in the Spring of 2022 to save the renovation when the originally-hired contractor fell drastically behind in preconstruction. To quickly get up to speed, Pinkard worked closely and diligently with Astroscale and NeoEra Architecture to analyze the previous contractor’s preconstruction efforts and provide effective value engineering to get the design into budget. “Pinkard spent a lot of time in preconstruction trying to match program and budget and still have reputable, ethical, trustworthy subcontractors,” says Astroscale senior vice president Becky Yoder. “I cannot say enough good things about the Pinkard team, how well they work together, and how transparent they were.” One of Pinkard’s key goals was through design optimization and executing the project in a way that kept costs under a critical threshold, preventing Astroscale from having to conduct hundreds of thousands of extra flood gate work that would have been required by the city if the remodel exceeded the value of the building. Of course, none of Pinkard’s savvy budgeting meant compromising on quality. “There were things that Pinkard wouldn't accept from the mill worker, so they had to go back and refabricate,” remembers NeoEra principal architect Emily Adams. “These weren't always the fastest solutions, but they were definitely the best solutions. I really appreciated that.” As to whether those cost-saving measures came at the expense of the interior’s stunning, sci-fi-inspired design, the pictures speak for themselves. “We came in on time and on budget,” says Becky Yoder. “This is my third building to finish out in the aerospace industry, and this was by far the best experience I've had. And considering the challenges with this old building, I would highly recommend Pinkard.” Learn More Adaptive Reuse Construction Learn More Office Renovations and New Construction See Projects Renovations and Additions See Projects Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Hires Eric Kellstrom as Senior Superintendent 2025-05-21 Learn More Pinkard Guest Lecturers Kick Off Inaugural DU Affordable Housing Program 2025-04-30 Learn More Pinkard Carpenter Named Apprentice of the Year 2025-05-19 Learn More Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage 2025-04-08 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

And there's one thing that I'm never afraid of is I'm going to speak up. If something concerns me, I'm going to speak up. I'm not going to try to be an ass about it but I'm going to let you know that I've got a problem with this or that or whatever it is. They always listened. They always took care of it."

This year’s speaker discussed the connection between substance abuse and mental health struggles. Pinkard Hosts Second Annual Cornhole Tournament Supporting Mental Health 2024-09-17 Share Share For the second year in a row, Pinkard Construction hosted a cornhole tournament for its employees last Friday. While there was plenty of fun and games to be had, not to mention a dessert food truck, the day was also about acknowledging a serious topic: mental health. Capping off Construction Suicide Prevention Week—which Safety Manager Dave Ruddy spoke about with CBS News earlier in the week—the day’s pre-tournament festivities included a talk by Duke Rumley, executive director of Sober AF Entertainment (S.A.F.E.), a non-profit that provides resources and creates sober spaces at live events to combat the idea that you can’t have fun without drugs and alcohol. Rumley’s talk, which also included a demonstration of the life-saving anti-opioid spray NARCAN, was about identifying what addiction looks like, and how to help somebody who’s struggling with it. Explaining the connection between substance abuse and mental health, he said: “One of the core issues with addiction is that you are prey to misery and depression. When you get defeated, and you feel like there is no way out, a lot of people choose suicide. We're here today to tell people that there are lots of different resources that Pinkard offers, from Youturn Health to having a company culture that’s willing to talk about it, there’s a safe place to come and get help.” After a brief Q&A with Rumley, Dave Ruddy got on the mic to remind everyone to talk to each other, get to k now each other, and check in with each other. “We’re a family here,” he said. “We’ve got to watch each other’s backs.” And with that, the epic sandbag showdown commenced on the cornhole field. For more conversations on mental health and suicide prevention, check out our recent series for Men’s Mental Health Month, featuring fascinating Q&As with Dave, HR Director Jeff Kessler , and former EMT Bryce Heitsmith . If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, you can call 988, the Crisis Lifeline.
