  • Pinkard Self Performs Unique Design Features

    Pinkard Self Performs Unique Design Features Pinkard Self Performs Unique Design Features March 14, 2022 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.

  • Have You Ever Been to a Dirt Summit?

    Have You Ever Been to a Dirt Summit? Have You Ever Been to a Dirt Summit? January 24, 2024 Share Share During the foundations and infrastructure phase of the Bison Ridge Recreation Center project, Pinkard Construction encountered potential contradictions between the grading work being done and the recommendations in the geotechnical report. This led to concerns that the current foundation design might not provide a stable enough base for the pools and building foundations. To resolve these questions, Pinkard held a "Dirt Summit" involving representatives from various stakeholders, including the excavator, pool subcontractor, structural and civil engineers, architect, and owner. The goal of the half-day session was to consider all the factors that could influence the long-term viability of the building and pool foundations, and the constructability of pool piping. According to Leighton Neff, chief preconstruction manager at Pinkard, "With multiple engineering disciplines responsible for different pieces of the complex facility, it was important for all perspectives to be considered in developing a comprehensive long-term solution for the City while minimizing first costs." The result of the summit was a modified structural design that was more effective and a structural infill from a source closer to the jobsite. In addition, redundant civil/structural specifications were eliminated. With these changes, Pinkard saved the City $950,000 and eliminated the need for numerous internal Requests for Information. Neff emphasized the importance of collaboration and communication in achieving these savings. "The Dirt Summit allowed all parties to come together and find solutions that worked for everyone. By working collaboratively, we were able to deliver a project that met the City's needs while also saving them nearly a million dollars." Troy Bohlender, Pinkard’s manager of field operations said that this is all a part of Pinkard's robust partnering efforts. "Sometimes you have to get everyone in a room and work it out," said Bohlender. "On every project, we are committed to collaboration and communication, and we are thrilled with the cost savings the team was able to achieve without sacrificing quality or safety." Bohlender reiterated that the Bison Ridge Recreation Center project's success is a testament to the power of collaboration and communication in construction projects. By working together, stakeholders identified and addressed potential issues, resulting in significant cost savings for the City. Bison Ridge Recreation Center once it was completed.

  • The Problem with Wood Framing and How to Solve It

    The Problem with Wood Framing and How to Solve It The Problem with Wood Framing and How to Solve It December 20, 2023 Share Share This article originally appeared in the December 2023 Issue of Building Dialogue Wood framing is one of the riskiest scopes in construction. The fact that remarkably few wood framing Subcontractors can be bonded is proof of this. Even if they could, the problems that can result from poorly managed framing - including schedule and quality issues that cascade into other trades – can't really be fixed with a bonding Band-Aid. The good news is that the problem is simple, if not easy, to fix: someone must take ownership of the wood framing process. Many entities have a piece of the puzzle, leading to this lack of ownership. One glaring example is truss design. Structural Engineers (who do not have truss software) rely on general design principles to complete framing plans. Truss company's bids are based on these plans and will bid them as drawn, right or wrong. They have no incentive other than winning the job. In addition, these companies generally do not evaluate the project holistically: meeting architectural intent with MEP, structural steel integration, etc. Eventually, problematic designs are passed to the Framing Subcontractor, whose only incentive is to finish fast and collect a check. When problems are caught, redesign can take weeks. This puts the whole project on hold if it’s early enough and leads to costly rework and associated delays if construction is underway. To address these issues, a thorough preconstruction process is crucial. The first key to success is involving a General Contractor with in-depth framing knowledge and their key suppliers, especially truss fabricators, with the design team. This collaboration results in framing designs that meet architectural and structural intent, ensure constructability and seamless integration with other trades. The result is a project that can be built in budget, faster, and with simplicity that improves quality before construction starts. A critical aspect of this is cultivating relationships with vendors and holding them to project specifications. This approach ensures quality and saves owners money – and not in a nebulous “preventing future issues” way. There are myriad efficiencies that can be built into the project at this stage. Pinkard’s recent efforts on Krisana Affordable Housing created a framing design that saved the Owner over $250,000. Once the project is set up for success, experienced and attentive on-site supervision is crucial. A dedicated framing professional who leads the Framing Subcontractor and interfaces directly with the project superintendent can catch minor issues before they become major problems. This level of supervision ensures the project stays on track and all team members are held accountable for their work. Additionally, it allows for open communication between all parties involved and leads to a smoother and more efficient construction process. On-site framing supervisors must have the knowledge and authority to make quick decisions and adjustments, saving time and money. Properly implemented, these strategies can be incredibly successful. Pinkard’s recent preconstruction efforts for Boulder County Housing Authority on Willoughby Corner – a multi-phased affordable community in Lafayette with 174 units in the first phase – illustrates this well. The initial design was a unique, modern design that required complex engineering. When Pinkard took the time and worked with the design team to understand the factors driving the design decisions, we developed solutions without sacrificing the overall look of the building. Having a team who not only understands the wood framing process start to finish but also takes ownership and responsibility for its success is essential for ensuring that your wood frame project is delivered smoothly on schedule, competitively priced and is a quality build that will last you decades.

  • Pinkard Completes The Irving at Mile High Vista Affordable Apartments

    Pinkard Completes The Irving at Mile High Vista Affordable Apartments Pinkard Completes The Irving at Mile High Vista Affordable Apartments January 22, 2026 Share Share DENVER — In a ribbon cutting event that included remarks by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and state housing leaders, Pinkard Construction celebrated the opening of its latest sustainably designed affordable housing project, The Irving at Mile High Vista. Developed by Urban Land Conservancy (ULC), a Denver-based nonprofit that preserves, develops and invests in affordable community-serving real estate, the 102-unit apartment complex will serve households earning 20%–80% of Area Median Income (AMI), with affordability guaranteed for at least 99 years through ULC’s community land trust. Located at 3270 W Colfax Ave., next to the Denver Public Library’s Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Branch, The Irving’s location connects its residents to educational resources and essential services that support stability and opportunity. “As we build this city, we want to make sure this city leaves room for all of us,” said Mayor Johnston in his speech. “We want to be able to add housing in the city, and we want to keep protecting climate and sustainability at the same time. That is why what you see is not just an amazing building with 102 new affordable units, but an all-electric building that is 100% carbon free and relies on both rooftop solar and electric heat pumps, so that the folks that are living here are living affordably and sustainably. That is our goal for all of Denver and today is the incredible success along the way to that dream.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston speaks in front of The Irving. The project is among the first developments funded through Proposition 123, a voter-approved statewide initiative that provides dedicated funding to support affordable housing across Colorado. Designed by Studio Completiva, the all-electric, energy-efficient building is built to exceed National Green Building Standards (NGBS). The apartments feature heat pump heating and cooling, ENERGY STAR appliances and lighting, low-flow plumbing fixtures, water-efficient landscaping, and on-site electric vehicle charging. The Irving further incorporates universal, trauma-informed and biophilic design principles, creating homes that are accessible, comfortable and supportive for residents of all ages and abilities. Built over a post-tension podium parking garage, the building’s construction utilized the Infinity Structural System, featuring pre-panelized load-bearing metal stud walls tied into concrete structural decking, which allowed crews to frame the seven-story, 105,000 square foot structure at the pace of one floor a week. General project challenges included zero lot line site constraints with minimal parking and laydown area, requiring carefully timed deliveries and a robust effort to protect public safety and minimize disruptions to library operations next door. As Pinkard has overcome on previous all-electric projects, one of The Irving’s earliest challenges was ensuring the building would have enough power given limits on the local grid, or risk the project being delayed until 2027. Thanks to some creative thinking and a highly collaborative effort between Pinkard, ULC and Xcel Energy, a solution was found to keep the project on track. Other unforeseen challenges included the discovery of asbestos-containing materials in the soils, requiring extensive public safety measures to abate, and the necessary relocation of on-site electrical mainline, which together pushed back the project start date by three months. Despite these delays, it was crucial for the owner’s plans that the project finish by the end of 2025. To make this possible, the Pinkard team ran an incredibly well-executed schedule with little room for additional setbacks. Their persistence paid off, with the job achieving its certificate of occupancy shortly before its December 31 deadline. “Successfully overcoming challenges under a tight deadline requires a strong team effort from all stakeholders, and that’s what we got at The Irving,” says Joe Revielle, Construction Manager for Pinkard. “Studio Completiva was great to work with and got us what we needed, and we had invaluable partners in the ownership and owner's representation, with ULC and Artaic Group. What we were able to accomplish together would have been much more difficult with a different group.” “This project was a challenge from start to finish,” said Jake Hopper, Senior Project Manager for owner’s representative Artaic Group. “From preconstruction through completion, the team navigated a number of logistical and scheduling hurdles, along with an aggressive push at the end. Through it all, Pinkard Construction remained focused, adaptable, and committed to delivering the project on time with the utmost professionalism. “The Irving is ULC’s first time serving as the developer on a ground-up housing development,” said Sarah Harman, senior VP of real estate at Urban Land Conservancy. “Pinkard was a true thought partner. They kept attention on critical-path milestones while also developing real-time solutions that, in many cases, ended up looking so good as to appear by-design.” Learn More Affordable Housing Construction See Projects Multi-Family Construction See Projects Ground-Up Construction See Projects Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion April 2, 2026 Learn More Pinkard 2025: The Year in Pictures December 30, 2025 Learn More Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation March 9, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Construction Breaks Ground on Chrysalis Affordable Housing Project in Denver November 21, 2025 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

  • Porcelain Brick Quality Challenges

    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 Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion April 2, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Completes The Irving at Mile High Vista Affordable Apartments January 22, 2026 Learn More Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation March 9, 2026 Learn More Pinkard 2025: The Year in Pictures December 30, 2025 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.
