Pinkard provided expert construction services for City and County of Denver on the Minoru Yasui Plaza project. Minoru Yasui Plaza Denver, Colorado, USA City and County of Denver 197,000 Sq. Ft. Public Projects, Office, Tight Site, High Tech Building Systems, High Security Systems & Construction Site, Renovation The complete gut and renovation of the 197,000 sf, 17-story Minoru Yasui Plaza office building in downtown Denver included extensive asbestos abatement and full interior demolition and renovation, new architectural finishes, interior walls, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, electrical and telecom systems. The structural repair of certain elements and re-roofing the building was also included. Pinkard originally built this building, the old Downtowner Motor Inn and Hotel, in 1969. Because it was originally designed as a hotel, deck-to-deck heights only allowed 9 inches of space for fire protection, electrical, HVAC, and extensive amounts of data cable. A special European hydronic radiant panel system that uses only four inches of ceiling space was installed to make room for the other systems. The ceiling-height/hydronic radiant panel system created some unusual phasing problems. All data cable had to be installed before the ceiling grid, and some of the radiant panels and requisite piping went in before the walls were constructed. Staging was severely limited, allowing for only a single delivery truck at a time. As a result, deliveries were conducted strictly on an "as-scheduled" basis, creating what was described as "airplanes in a holding pattern circling over an airport." A single truck would pull up to the loading area, materials go into the single exterior elevator and then directly to the floor under renovation. There was no room for the usual exterior trash chute or dumpsters. To solve the challenge of disposing of demolished materials, a 3' x 6' existing interior duct chase was expanded to 6' x 6' to serve as the trash chute for the project. As demolished materials accumulated at the bottom of the chute, they were moved by a Bobcat-type front-end loader into dumpsters inside the building. Winner, Associated Builders and Contractors' 1st place, National Excellence in Construction Eagle award.

Pinkard Hosts Employee Cornhole Tournament and Speaker for National Suicide Prevention Month Pinkard Hosts Employee Cornhole Tournament and Speaker for National Suicide Prevention Month 2023-09-22 Share Share Pinkard Construction, a leading general contractor in Colorado, recently hosted a cornhole tournament for its employees. The goal of the event was to provide a fun activity for the staff and raise awareness about suicide prevention strategies. According to the company's President, Tony Burke, "We take the well-being of our employees seriously, and we want to ensure that they have access to the resources they need for their mental health. That's why we partnered with Associate General Contractors and YouTurn, an organization that provides suicide prevention training and mental health resources to employees." AGC of Colorado partnered with Youturn Health to support their members and families in navigating substance use and mental health concerns. AGC found that Youturn Health provides easy access to confidential and private support at any stage of an individual's recovery journey. Youturn Health is a confidential virtual program that bridges the gap between inaction and seeking clinical help by making support accessible to users grappling with any mental or behavioral health condition, including but not limited to stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, or suicidal ideation, wherever they are in their journey. Youturn Health provides accessible, end-to-end support for individuals and their families, with tools including peer coaching, resources, and an online learning library. The event featured a guest speaker from YouTurn who delivered a powerful message about the importance of mental health and suicide prevention. The speaker emphasized the need for individuals to seek help and support when they are struggling with mental health issues. One employee who participated in the event described it as "a great way to bring awareness to mental health and suicide prevention in a non-judgmental and fun way. It was nice to see the company take an active role in the well-being of its employees." Pinkard Construction plans to continue its partnership with YouTurn and hopes to host similar events in the future. The company recognizes that mental health is a critical issue that affects many individuals, and it is committed to providing resources and support to its employees. In the words of Burke, "We want our employees to know that they are not alone, and we are here to help. We hope that our partnership with YouTurn and events like this cornhole tournament will make a positive difference in the lives of our staff."

Pinkard Completes Massive Willoughby Corner Development Ahead of Schedule Pinkard Completes Massive Willoughby Corner Development Ahead of Schedule 2025-04-02 Share Share Pinkard Construction has completed Boulder County Housing Authority’s Willoughby Corner development under budget and ahead of schedule despite an early five-month permitting delay. 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’s Phase 1 of this development ($83 M in hard costs, $106 M all in) includes a 63-unit apartment building for 55-and-over residents, four multi-family buildings totaling 129 units, a community center, and $15 million in roads and infrastructure (R&I) improvements. Featuring extensive geothermal and solar energy systems, the all-electric project is now Colorado’s largest Zero Energy Ready Home community. The roads and infrastructure improvements came with considerable jurisdictional challenges as the City of Lafayette worked through its long term R&I plans. Thanks to a strong collaboration among the owner/design team, Pinkard, and the City, Pinkard was able to make significant modifications to the existing construction and logistics plans to accommodate the city’s ever changing requirements, but 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. Pinkard ultimately completed the project as originally scheduled on December 31st, 2024, following an intensive resequencing that included a major revamping of the construction plan, an enhanced quality control plan, and numerous manpower adjustments. One design team member described the completion effort as “miraculous.” Pinkard Frameworks, Pinkard's in-house wood framing division, played a key role in keeping the project on schedule, with in-depth planning during preconstruction and considerable manpower adjustments in the field. Frameworks’ focus was saving money for BCHA while maximizing construction efficiencies and avoiding in-field redesigns. RS&H Principal Architect Tino Leone: “Frameworks’ approach to preconstruction planning and field efficiencies had a significant impact on schedule. It was a great benefit to the project.” All construction work was completed under near-occupied conditions, with heavy school traffic jams bisecting the construction site and significant road closures and detours impacting site access and deliveries. With numerous funding sources covering various aspects of this large project, Pinkard provided 30+ estimates during the complicated two-year-long preconstruction phase. Pinkard’s intensive collaboration and creativity in design optimization ensured a timely, in-budget construction start. Funding included 4% and 9% CHFA tax credits. BCHA Executive Director Susana Lopez-Baker: “We completed a $100+ million project with $15 million in infrastructure improvements on top of 192 housing units in 16 months. I think that’s just incredible. Pinkard was always flexible, and we were always beating challenges and meeting our goals. It was really exceptional to see, and people love our beautiful development.” Currently, Pinkard is continuing with the City’s R&I improvements surrounding the Willoughby development. Roads and infrastructure upgrades are expected to be complete by the end of May. The Boulder County Housing Authority is leasing Willoughby Corner now, with below-market-rate homes available for people earning up to 60 percent of the Area Median Income, or about $70,000 per year for a two-person household. Visit the Willoughby Corner website for more information about eligibility and applications. Community members are also invited to an Open House at Willoughby Corner on Thursday, May 8 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., when they can tour available homes and get help applying.

Men’s Mental Health Month: “We Must Keep Talking About It” 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.

Pinkard Construction Awarded Bay Aquatic Park Renovation Pinkard Construction Awarded Bay Aquatic Park Renovation 2024-04-30 Share Share Pinkard Construction has been awarded the renovation project for the Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV in Broomfield. Project cost is estimated at $9 million and will include the removal and replacement of the primary leisure pool, family slide, body slides, and slide plunge pool, along with the addition of deck space, shade structures, and a new mechanical building. Pinkard was the general contractor for the original aquatic park when it was first built in 1991. Additionally, it was the first community water park in the Denver metro area, and due to age, condition, and updated health and building codes, the facility needs renovation. In 2022, BHA Design, Inc. and their team, including Counsilman-Hunsaker, were selected to design the project. Schematic design drawings were submitted in September 2022, and the project paused while additional funding was secured. Currently, the design is progressing toward the delivery of final construction drawings. "We are thrilled to have been awarded this project," said Tony Burke, president of Pinkard Construction. "We have a long history of successful pool construction projects in Colorado, and we are excited to bring our expertise to the renovation of Broomfield Bay Aquatic Park. Our team is ready to work closely with BHA Design, Inc. and the City and County of Broomfield to deliver a high-quality project that will benefit the community for years to come. It’s very rewarding to be able to come back over thirty years later and work once again on a project that the community has enjoyed so much. Many of our current employees remember coming here as kids." “Pinkard Construction has been invaluable during the preconstruction phase by helping to ensure constructability and that cost-saving measures are captured in the final design,” said Brian Graham, capital improvement program manager for Broomfield. Design work is anticipated to be completed in Spring 2024. The intent is to close The Bay Aquatic Park for construction in August 2024, with the objective to reopen the Bay Aquatic Park in July 2025, to ensure a partial Summer 2025 season at The Bay.

Pinkard Awarded Low-Income Senior Living Project in Longmont Pinkard Awarded Low-Income Senior Living Project in Longmont 2023-04-05 Share Share Pinkard Construction, a multi-family general contractor operating in Colorado for over 60 years, recently won the contract to work on Longmont Housing Authority (LHA)'s Village Place Apartments in collaboration with Rosemann & Associates . The project involves rehabilitating Village Place, a senior apartment building comprising 72 units. The building is approximately 69,000 sq ft and is located in historic downtown Longmont at 600 Coffman St. The rental housing development is currently occupied and serves income-qualified families whose incomes are below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). "Affordable housing is crucial for the well-being of our community in Longmont, and we are thrilled to partner with Pinkard Construction to revitalize Village Place Apartments," said Katie Pung, Housing Development Project Manager with the City and Longmont Housing Authority "LHA plans to submit a 4% non-competitive LIHTC application to CHFA, and we will rely heavily on Pinkard's expertise for those submittals, making this project possible." The scope of work planned involves exterior building, interior common and in-unit rehabilitation, landscaping improvements, and site work. Pinkard and Rosemann & Associates will help LHA evaluate and prioritize the scope of work while making any necessary adjustments to the plan. "We are committed to utilizing our expertise in occupied renovations to complete the Village Place project with minimal disruptions to the residents. Affordable housing is critical to the well-being of Colorado communities, and we are proud to be a part of this effort to provide safe and affordable homes for those who need it most," said Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction.

Read It More Case Studies What Our Clients Say Select Type Button Button 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." 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 Made a difficult job bearable " 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." 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 Tireless dedication "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.
