Pink Crew Breaks Personal Best While Building Beds for Kids Pink Crew Breaks Personal Best While Building Beds for Kids June 12, 2024 Share Share When skills and purpose perfectly align, doing good can yield some pretty impressive results. Last Friday, as June temperatures began to climb into the 90s, scores of Pinkard people gathered under the large outdoor pavilion at the Westminster Elks Lodge, across the street from the Pinkard construction yard, to roll up their sleeves and build beds for kids in need. Organized by Pinkard’s community outreach program, The Pink Crew , the volunteer event benefited Sleep in Heavenly Peace , an award-winning nonprofit that delivers beds to children who don’t have one. As the tagline on their trailer reads: “No kid sleeps on the ground in our town!” Needless to say, our people’s considerable experience building things with power tools made for an overqualified workforce on a project that required various teams to cut, drill, sand, and assemble the bed frame components before dipping them in a sealant bath and branding the headboards with a hot iron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-t1LLDFa1g “The goal was to build 60 beds, but they’re not used to having construction people as their volunteers,” says Pinkard accountant Kristen Rebmann, who co-leads the Pink Crew. “When they asked how many people knew how to use a saw and everybody’s hands went up, they decided to leave the excess lumber they had delivered and see how many extra beds we could build in the allotted time. Our people ended up using up every board supplied to build 71 beds in 5 hours.” In total, 40 Pinkard employees, along with a handful of friends and family members showed up—all wearing their bright pink T-shirts—smashing the previous record for turnout at a Pink Crew event. “It was so great to see everyone come together, utilizing their skills to serve the community,” says CFO Odette Bent-Buckles, who worked the dipping and drying station of the assembly line, adding how she was especially pleased to see many faces who hadn’t previously engaged in Pink Crew projects. In addition to organizing community service opportunities through the Pink Crew, Pinkard offers 16 annual hours of paid VTO, or Volunteer Time Off , to all employees interested in pursuing charity work. Next up, the Pink Crew will be helping our longtime partners at the Action Center with their annual school supply drive taking place in July.

Pinkard Turns Pool and Natatorium Challenges Into Opportunities Pinkard Turns Pool and Natatorium Challenges Into Opportunities March 6, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction prides itself on being a community builder. A key amenity for many Front Range communities is their community pool. Whether it’s for a recreation district, HOA, or local jurisdiction, Pinkard understands their responsibility to get the pool facility constructed right the first time. This commitment is doubly important for the construction of the pool itself, as each and every new or renovated pool, whether enclosed or outside, has unique construction challenges and opportunities. Pinkard’s team has undeniable expertise in pool construction. Over their six-decade history they have successfully built or renovated over 50 recreation centers and 60 indoor and outdoor pools, all of them in Colorado. This highly successful track record includes countless examples of overcoming significant challenges through close collaboration with the project’s client, design team, and end user. Along the way, the team has taken those lessons learned to develop a unique and ever-growing “pool checklist” that considers every angle of a pool project, from controlling costs, to assuring the highest quality construction, to engaging with the community. Adding Value During Preconstruction During the preconstruction process, the project team faces three primary challenges/opportunities: cost control, escalation, and procurement. Working closely with the client and design team, Pinkard works diligently to balance the client's desires with the budget. Pinkard provides real-time pricing along with life-cycle analysis to enable the client to make informed decisions. Pinkard relies on its vast subcontractor relationships to obtain the most accurate and competitive pricing possible, engaging with multiple trade partners early to provide critical input on materials and options for flexibility in cost control. Another challenge is pricing multiple design iterations for months before locking down final costs. The project team interprets materials markets and provides accurate future cost estimates. Pinkard’s close relationships with major suppliers keep them constantly updated on pricing trends, which benefits the client's budget. With new material delays showing up almost daily, the team constantly monitors these situations, allowing them to suggest more readily available alternatives. Breaking ground in August of 2024, Pinkard’s is currently renovating of Broomfield’s Bay Aquatic Park, which centers around the replacement of the well-loved facility’s leisure pool that Pinkard constructed over thirty years earlier. During preconstruction, the Pinkard team suggested replacing the traditional concrete and tile gutters initially specified in the Design Development drawings with an innovative stainless-steel system that not only saved on costs but also shortened the schedule by three-to-four weeks, which the City of Broomfield ultimately opted to go with. Ensuring Quality During Construction Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) are paramount concerns on any Pinkard job, but the stakes are especially high on pool projects where mistakes and defects can be incredibly costly. While building Commerce City’s Bison Ridge Recreation Center in 2018, Pinkard identified potential contradictions between the grading work and the geotechnical report that could affect the long-term viability of the pool. In response the team called a “dirt summit” involving 14 stakeholders, including the excavator, pool subcontractor, structural and civil engineers, architect, and owner. After considering all the factors in play, the team agreed upon a modified structural design and more effective, locally-sourced structural infill, which saved Commerce City $950,000 while providing them with a more optimally performing pool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv8g9ETXDlY When constructing the pool itself, the team pays close attention to the pool shell, ensuring the quality of the subgrade prep, concrete supporting structures, accessibility of pipe routing, and pool deck construction. The most important quality assurance measure for any new pool shell is the water tightness test, in which the pool is filled and monitored over several days for any leakage. Since the adoption of the American Concrete Insitute’s formal testing procedure (ACI 350.1) in 2010, Pinkard has never failed a water tightness test. Given that many outdoor pool projects in Colorado are completed during winter, Pinkard has also developed specialty protocols for scheduling and completing work around the inevitable wet and freezing conditions that can disrupt concrete cure times and the installation of tile other specialty pool products. Indoor natatoriums present their own challenges. During both precon and construction, the Pinkard team vets and confirms critical details regarding the pool enclosure's ability to resist corrosion and the quality of specialty paints and coatings that seal sensitive surfaces. Pinkard also has the experience and knowledge needed to coordinate and install the required mechanical and pool equipment, such as pumps, filters, dehumidification systems, and specialty equipment like wave generators. Commissioning, in which we a facility’s various mechanical systems are calibrated for performance and efficiency, is another crucial stage in pool construction, and the team provides considerable attention and manpower to meet strict testing and performance standards for the facility. Going the Extra Mile for the Community Given that the majority of pool and recreation projects Pinkard takes on are occupied renovations where part of the facility remains open during construction, Pinkard has developed strict safety and security procedures that protect staff and visitors, as well as minimizing the disruption construction has on programming and people’s ability to enjoy of the rec center. To account for who is on-site at what time, the team ensures deliveries on time and requires construction crew badging and background checks. The team also carefully considers public access points and areas during construction, always maintaining physical and visual separation between the public and the construction work. This was certainly the case for Pinkard's 2021 renovation of Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center, in which the team gutted and expanded the existing natatorium to include a new six-lane lap pool, an aqua-exercise pool, a wave pool with lazy river and bubble pit, a zero-depth activity pool with play structure, geysers and water slide, and a therapeutic hydro-jet spa. The facility remained open to the public throughout construction, and Pinkard used safety and operational protocols to ensure guest and staff safety while minimizing impacts on daily operations. Recognizing that the public inconveniences related to occupied construction are not always popular, Pinkard takes a proactive approach to keeping the local community informed and excited about their projects. At Moorhead Recreation Center for the City of Aurora, for example, the team held hard hat tours of the job site to keep the excitement high and helped organize a "job fair" for local children to see the finished product and to allow our team to discuss our experience building the project. Similarly at Bay Aquatic Park in Broomfield, when site constraints necessitated that construction vehicles be routed through a residential neighborhood, Pinkard worked with city officials to develop a community outreach program that proactively engaged the affected residents, explaining the decision and including them in solutions for mitigating disruption and neighborhood safety concerns. In addition to enforcing strict hours and speed limits for construction vehicles in the neighborhood, and posting regular updates (plus a live cam) on the city’s website, the team holds recurring “info + coffee” events in the local park where residents can ask questions about the project and air concerns, which Pinkard can then work to alleviate. Summary Developed over many years and many successful projects, Pinkard Construction’s expertise in pool and natatoriums makes it one of the preeminent recreation contractors on the Front Range. From preconstruction to commissioning, they easily navigate the key challenges of cost control, procurement, and escalation, while their attention to detail and commitment to community outreach really sets them apart from other contractors. This approach allows Pinkard to meet the unique challenges of each client’s pool project while ensuring an unparalleled client experience and maximum community benefit.

Pinkard Tops Out Carraway on Penn Multi-Family Development Pinkard Tops Out Carraway on Penn Multi-Family Development August 3, 2022 Share Share Pinkard Construction and OZ Architecture have completed the external structure for Carraway on Penn, a new 42-unit, approximately 34,619-square-foot multi-family residential property, with a focus on small unit sizes with lower monthly gross rents. The project is located just two blocks from the Louisiana/Pearl light rail station in Denver’s desirable Platt Park neighborhood. Confluent Development , in partnership with Narrate Companies , is the project owner, and construction is anticipated to be completed in October 2022. Tony Burke, president and COO of Pinkard, says the project is a natural fit for Pinkard’s teams, who have extensive experience building multifamily projects across Colorado. “Confluent Development is doing tremendous work bringing new and innovative multifamily spaces to Denver, and we’re very excited to be a part of the Carraway project, which is on schedule and on budget.” “Carraway on Penn represents a unique project for Confluent Development in the Platt Park neighborhood, one that will accommodate the increasing demand among residents for high-end, sophisticated apartment living in this community but at more attainable price points,” said Santiago Escobedo, development director at Confluent Development. “The project will incorporate features that adapt to today’s changing workplace, such as shared workspaces and boutiques, upscale finishes, and will appeal to those seeking an active yet simplistic lifestyle with convenient access to mass transit, parks and recreation, and nearby shopping and dining.” Matt Chiodini, associate principal at OZ Architecture, says that the goal with Carraway on Penn is to complement the historical components of the neighborhood while providing a thoughtful, modern living experience that will deliver lasting value. “ The complex site geometry, a triangle, inspired our team to pay special attention to key corners and show restraint along the street edges. Sensitivity to the building entries and window openings led to a unique asset that will provide much-needed housing in the heart of South Pearl district,” said Chiodini. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Confluent Development on this project in an extremely supply-constrained submarket in Denver. Working in partnership with OZ Architecture and Pinkard Construction, we have a first-class team and look forward to bringing this project to fruition,” said Adam Fenton of Narrate Companies. To date, Pinkard has completed more than 197 senior living , multifamily , and affordable housing projects, with a combined value of $3.9 billion.

Pinkard Breaks Ground on Jacoby Meadows Affordable Senior Apartments Pinkard Breaks Ground on Jacoby Meadows Affordable Senior Apartments August 15, 2024 Share Share The Town of Windsor took a major step forward in assuring its elder residents will have an affordable place to live as Pinkard Construction and the Windsor Housing Authority (WHA) broke ground on the Jacoby Meadows Senior Apartments complex this week. Developed in partnership with the Loveland Housing Authority (LHA) and WORKSHOP8 Architecture—with funding from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), Wells Fargo, the Impact Development Fund, the Rocky Mountain Community Reinvestment Corporation, and the Town of Windsor—the two-phase project will initially create 62 age-restricted units serving low to moderate income seniors (30-80% of area median income) over the age of 55. The second phase, which is still seeking funding, will add an additional 61 units. Construction of the first 63,000 square foot, $17.5 million facility is expected to take 12 months. Held on the morning of August 14, the groundbreaking ceremony featured remarks by Windsor Mayor Julie Cline, as well as representatives from WHA, LHA, and CHFA, all of whom touched upon the particularly challenging process of making Jacoby Meadows a reality. “Being here today is a little bit surreal for me, as this is a project I've been working on since first joining the board in 2019,” said WHA Board of Commissioners Chairperson Frankie Cole. “Today's event truly is the culmination of several years of volunteer effort and collaboration between so many in our community, past and present commissioners, past and present town board members, and several strategic partners... [who] recognize the critical need for more affordable housing for our senior population here in Windsor.” “This project has been particularly challenging,” said LHA Executive Director Jeff Feneis. “It's been five years in the making, three rounds of tax credit applications with CHFA, a minor redesign, a significant redesign... and just incredible challenges putting our pro forma together over the past two years as tax credit pricing went down, interest rates went up, and construction prices went up. But with the help of a lot of people who are here today, we got it done.” “We’re excited to partner again with our friends at Loveland Housing Authority, along with Windsor Housing Authority and WORKSHOP8,” said Pinkard President Tony Burke after the ceremony. “There's a higher and higher demand for affordable housing in northern Colorado, and we've been creative working with our partners to figure out how to secure the funding for this project. We’re already looking forward to undertaking Phase II three to five years down the road.” In her own remarks, Mayor Cline said, “This is a significant milestone to our community... The Town of Windsor, together with the Windsor Housing Authority, is dedicated to providing quality affordable housing to our residents,” underlining how Jacoby Meadows adds to the 142 affordable units already provided by the two entities. The mayor added that this project is especially meaningful to her and the Windsor community, because it was named to honor John “Johnny” Jacoby, a beloved lifelong Windsor resident who was senselessly gunned down in 2015 while riding his bike, just up the road from the building site, in a case that remains unsolved today. “Johnny was a good friend to many in our town,” said the mayor, “and naming this project after him is a way of keeping his spirit alive.” Members of Jacoby’s family were present at the groundbreaking and thanked the project developers for choosing to permanently honor his memory.

Pinkard Construction Awarded Bay Aquatic Park Renovation Pinkard Construction Awarded Bay Aquatic Park Renovation April 30, 2024 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.

Porcelain Brick Quality Challenges Porcelain Brick Quality Challenges March 14, 2022 Share Share On the Moorhead Recreation Center project, one of our biggest quality challenges was constructing the intricate, custom foliage patterning with the exterior porcelain brick. The brick is beautiful, but it tends to be very fragile. BRS's design came with an exact template showing where every brick should go. The challenge was to get the patterning exactly correct and not damage it. Ensuring Quality Brick Installation. To get the brick just right, JVS Masonry created half-scale mock-ups of a brick wall section, colored and numbered each brick location, then constructed the mock-ups under the watchful eyes of Pinkard, the City, and BRS. Once everyone agreed that the correct construction and quality approaches were understood and mastered, crews went to work on the real thing. In preparation for construction, JVS once again plotted the location and color of each brick. During construction, five different individuals took turns inspecting the installation every two hours. This result was near perfection. Everything line-up perfectly. Project Architect Jesse Sherr: “I think those guys did a great job with the porcelain brick. That material is probably one of the most challenging tasks and some of the best installed on that whole project.” As construction progressed under a very tight schedule, the team continued to face one demanding quality challenge after another. Construction Manager Blake Chambliss: “Pinkard had a tremendous number of quality/fit and finish responsibilities. We were working on a fast-paced schedule and at every turn, we encountered challenging details. The multi-purpose room ceiling clouds were a great example.” Learn More Recreation Construction See Projects Moorhead Recreation Center Learn More Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Construction Becomes a Catamount Constructors Company, Uniting Two Denver Leaders July 7, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion April 2, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Promotes Mike Hager to Construction Manager May 18, 2026 Learn More Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation March 9, 2026 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Pinkard Frameworks Promotes Russell Hardcastle Pinkard Frameworks Promotes Russell Hardcastle January 29, 2025 Share Share Longtime Pinkard employee Russell Hardcastle has been promoted to the new position of Framing Engineer for Pinkard Frameworks. Pinkard Frameworks, the in-house wood-framing division of Pinkard Construction, created this new role specifically for Russell to take advantage of his unique skillset that enables him to translate his years of field construction experience into a BIM and clash detection-related engineering specialist. In his new role, Russ manages virtual construction and clash detection on every Frameworks project, scrupulously analyzing constructability details. This includes creating 2D and 3D framing layouts that give Frameworks the ability to confirm architectural and structural intent and then design custom framing packages that are identical to what a wall panel supplier would do. It also gives Pinkard Frameworks the ability to design custom framing packages that can also include wall panelization, with the flexibility to either self-construct wall panels or contract the work to a panel fabricator. Russ also checks dimensions, compiles quantities for procurement, identify gaps, omissions, duplicates, and clashes, all with the mission of setting up the construction team to have the most efficient construction process possible. Wood Framing Manager Dan Harris: “A lot of guys can understand framing when they are seeing it right in front of them, but Russ can sit in front of his computer and switch between three dimensions and two dimensions without losing a beat. He can visualize complexities within the structure, put them into context, and display them in a way that design teams and framing crews can understand. Russ’ skillset is truly the Holy Grail of construction.” This diligence pays off regularly. One recent wood framed project was specified to be hemlock/fir construction, but one drawing page stated a requirement for part of the structure to be Douglas fir. Russ was able to modify his BIM model to properly replace more than 3,000 hemlock/fir studs with all Douglas fir prior to construction. These critically important preconstruction steps benefit owners with a more efficient construction process that maximizes efficiency while reducing waste and time lost for tear-outs and re-builds. While it is common for a contractor to provide BIM services/clash detection for major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, BIM services like those provided by Frameworks are relatively rare in the wood-framing world. With more than 20 years in construction, Russ’ career has featured a strong focus on multi-family wood framing, custom woodworking, and hospitality construction. He joined Pinkard in 2015, where he quickly became a standout employee. As a result of his construction common sense and strong field performance, he was able to skip three years of a four-year journeyman carpenter apprentice program at the Construction Industry Training Council. He completed Associated General Contractors’ superintendent/ project manager apprenticeship program in December 2024. Russ joined Frameworks in the summer of 2023, rising to the role of Framing Superintendent prior to his current position as Framing Engineer. Russ’ new role greatly enhances Frameworks’ mission to provide industry-best preconstruction services for Pinkard’s wood frame clients. Pinkard formed its Frameworks division in 2023 to fill a much-needed gap in the wood framing industry. Frameworks’ services focus on best preconstruction practices to eliminate the waste and delays associated with traditional wood framing construction practices. Frameworks’ professional in-depth preconstruction practices allow skilled wood framing crews to work at optimum efficiency from day one to provide our clients with optimum value for the construction budgets.
