Pinkard Helps Pull Off Surprise for Denver Film's Biggest Fundraiser Pinkard Helps Pull Off Surprise for Denver Film's Biggest Fundraiser August 28, 2024 Share Share Last week, Denver Film—the same organization behind the Denver International Film Festival, Film on the Rocks, and the Sie Film Center—threw its annual Summer Scream fundraiser at Colorado's beloved Lakeside Amusement Park. While hard to describe, the night includes cinema-inspired installations and interactive performances (this year’s theme was the films of Winona Ryder), an open bar, and of course all the rides and vintage charm of Lakeside. It’s Denver Film’s biggest fundraising event of the year, not to mention the best party of the summer. In a night full of surprises, the biggest highlight was slated to be an unannounced appearance from Denver-based experimental drum-corps Itchy-O, which is known for wowing audiences around the country with their wild costumes, pyrotechnics, and crowd-roving performances. The only problem: the 50+ person band needed a secret place to hide before their big entrance, and as a non-profit organization, Denver Film had no budget to pay the several thousand dollars they were quoted to put up temporary fencing around the open pavilion where Itchy-O could prepare. Enter Pinkard Construction, which happens to be working up the street at 46th and Tennyson. When Denver Film reached out asking for help, we delivered 250 feet of the fencing and privacy coverings we usually use to brand our jobsites, allowing event organizers to shroud the band from unsuspecting passersby entering the amusement park, who probably assumed there was some sort of construction going on. When Itchy-O did march onto the scene at dusk, complete with smoke machines, lasers and a futuristic neon dragon, the shocked crowd went crazy. The surprise was a success. “Pinkard was crucial to the success of Summer Scream,” says Denver Film Events Specialist Esther Lopez. “Thanks to their team, Itchy-O was able to pull off a special surprise and crash our party!" “While Pinkard doesn’t have any plans to get deeper into event production,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke with a smile, “we loved being able to creatively assist a local non-profit in their mission of inspiring and surprising Colorado movie lovers.” Check out photos of this year's Summer Scream, including Itchy-O's performance, below.

Pinkard Hires Eric Kellstrom as Senior Superintendent Pinkard Hires Eric Kellstrom as Senior Superintendent May 21, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction is excited to announce the hiring of Eric Kellstrom as senior superintendent. Eric comes to Pinkard following a stellar field management career as a superintendent and senior superintendent for two large national construction companies who maintained a significant Denver-area presence. “We are ecstatic to add Eric’s great construction background and strong leadership skills to our field management team,” says Tom Alford, Pinkard’s chief operating officer. “Eric is a strong field performer with a proven history fostering relationships with subcontractors, clients, and fellow team members. He will be an important influence on our ability to move into new job markets and excel in providing quality, safety, and strong budget and schedule control to future projects.” With a bachelor’s degree in business from Miami (Ohio) University, Eric began his 25+-year career as a tract-home framer in Nebraska. Rapidly progressing into the role of resort-area custom home lead carpenter in Wyoming, he earned his master’s degree in construction management from Colorado State University. During his 17 years as a superintendent in the Denver metro area, Eric’s projects have ranged in size from $10 million to $600 million, covering a diverse group of projects from municipal, federal, high technology, and healthcare. As senior superintendent, Eric will be responsible for field management of large Pinkard projects, mentoring and career development of his younger coworkers, and will serve a strategic role in helping to win new work. Eric’s self-described strengths include an ability to build and maintain relationships, and collaboration with project teams to develop strong but flexible construction work plans. Problem solving, good communication, and creativity in the field are also important to Eric’s work style. “The more I looked into Pinkard’s reputation in the industry and its relationship-focused approach to construction, the more convinced I became that Pinkard and I would be a great fit,” says Kellstrom. “Pinkard is full of good people who are great business partners who take care of their clients and employees.” Kellstrom’s hiring was the culmination of a comprehensive search involving numerous qualified candidates and an in-depth cultural assessment to ensure a perfect fit for Eric and Pinkard.

Pinkard Begins Improvements on Two More Banner Health Centers Pinkard Begins Improvements on Two More Banner Health Centers August 7, 2024 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 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.

Denver-based investment and development firm Confluent Development, in partnership with Narrate Companies , is the project owner. Throughout construction, Pinkard worked closely with OZ Architecture .

Pinkard Tops Out at Jacoby Meadows Pinkard Tops Out at Jacoby Meadows March 24, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction has topped out Windsor Housing Authority’s (WHA) Jacoby Meadows Senior Affordable Apartments. Developed in partnership with the Loveland Housing Authority (LHA) and WORKSHOP8 Architecture, the two-phased project initially creates 62 age-restricted units serving low to moderate income seniors. The second phase, which is still seeking funding, will add an additional 61 units.  Despite several early challenging unforeseen conditions and numerous inclement weather days the project is still on time and in budget, thanks in part to some creative construction brainstorming and a state-of-the-art approach to wood framing. During the sewer tie-in phase, construction crews encountered an unexpected “bedrock-like layer” that stopped just short of requiring blasting to penetrate. During the actual sewer tie-ins, unexpected groundwater became an additional concern, requiring an extended dewatering phase. Fortunately, Pinkard Frameworks — Pinkard's in-house wood framing division — provided exceptional construction efficiencies to keep the project on track. Tasked with providing more than 63,000 sf of framing, the Frameworks team began an exhaustive constructability and quality control effort during preconstruction, thoroughly vetting the framing design for layout, detailing, fit and finish. Procurement and site logistics were also high priorities, resulting in the team making expeditious progress from the start of construction and completing most of the framing in less than two months, even with 13 weather days. “I can’t say enough about Frameworks’ contribution to this construction effort,” says Terry Wevers, Pinkard’s senior superintendent. “They are going above and beyond to provide exceptional framing services in a remarkably short time frame. Considering our early challenges, we are delighted to be on time and in budget, and we’re expecting to make up even more time now that we’re dried in.” Eric Hull, Director of Real Estate Development for Loveland Housing Authority, commented: “LHA and WHA are thrilled with the construction progress to date, and Pinkard Construction is once again demonstrating why they have become such a trusted general contractor for us. Their dedication, expertise, and innovative construction techniques have the project on schedule and within budget despite some unforeseen challenges in the first few months of construction. We are looking forward to the grand opening of Jacoby Meadows later this year and for the opportunity to bring these much-needed new, affordable, age-restricted housing units to the Windsor community.” Pinkard is now moving forward with roofing, MEP rough-ins, and window quality control. Construction is expected to complete on time in September. *     Windsor Housing Authority (WHA) is a public agency that helps people who meet income and other eligibility guidelines, secure affordable, safe and quality housing in the town of Windsor. WHA currently offers two affordable housing developments: Windsor Meadows, an 80-unit apartment complex and Century III Apartments, a 62-unit community for individuals 62 and over and those with disabilities.    In addition to creating affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents of Loveland, the Loveland Housing Authority (LHA) mentors and helps other housing authorities as part of their mission to provide and maintain obtainable housing. By partnering with the LHA, the WHA can utilize their experience, expertise, services and partner network to provide housing opportunities for the Windsor area.       Led by Joseph Vigil and Brandy LeMae, Boulder-based WORKSHOP8 Architecture helps clients create homes, workspaces, apartment buildings, and art. WORKSHOP8’s dedicated team of designers relies on WORKSHOP8’s eight values of ARTISTRY, COLLABORATION, EXPLORATION, INTEGRITY, LEADERSHIP, PASSION, SUSTAINABILITY, and VIABILITY to serve our mission to INSPIRE, ENRICH, and TRANSFORM lives through GR8 design.     Pinkard Construction is a Colorado-based general contractor that has been building affordable housing projects since 1962.

Pinkard Construction’s Thrive Affordable Apartments Wins Community Impact Award Pinkard Construction’s Thrive Affordable Apartments Wins Community Impact Award March 22, 2024 Share Share DENVER – Denver Housing Authority’s $61 million Thrive affordable housing project, built by Pinkard Construction, has received a “Best of the Best” Community Impact of the Year award from the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP). The 2023 NAIOP Colorado Community Impact of the Year awards highlight projects that have truly left a lasting mark on their communities. Thrive was competing against GreenHaus, another Denver Housing Authority (DHA) project, and The Bridge by Revive Church Colorado Development Advisors. Thrive is a meticulously designed apartment complex that not only provides homes but fosters smaller communities within, complete with a terrace for play and tranquility. The 135-unit development was designed and built to be a community for families of all sizes, with three-bedroom townhomes and four- and five-bedroom units. In addition to its affordable housing component, 20% of Thrive’s units are market rate condominiums. During the three-year design and construction process, Pinkard collaborated with Shopworks Architecture to provide comprehensive preconstruction services ending with a final GMP contract value that had a zero percent variance from the design development estimate. With this zero percent variance, DHA was able to incorporate add-alternates to enhance Thrive’s value to the tenants and DHA. During construction, the Pinkard team had to “share” construction ingress and egress with another contractor constructing the neighboring GreenHaus project. Points of entry and exit to these sites were further congested due to Pinkard’s Sun Valley roads and infrastructure work. Despite these challenges, Pinkard completed the project on time and in budget. The final construction cost was $44,283,846. Both Thrive and GreenHaus are located within the Sun Valley neighborhood, which is directly south of the Denver Broncos’ Empower Field at Mile High Stadium.

Pinkard Breaks Ground on Residential Highrise in Denver’s Golden Triangle Pinkard Breaks Ground on Residential Highrise in Denver’s Golden Triangle March 15, 2023 Share Share Revesco Properties / Alpine Investments (RPAI), Pinkard Construction, and OZ Architecture celebrated the groundbreaking for a 12-story, multifamily project, akin Golden Triangle , on March 14th. Construction commenced in early February and is expected to continue into Q4 of 2024. The luxury-boutique building will contain 98 units of multifamily and amenities. “The Revesco and Alpine teams, along with our design and construction partners, have worked diligently over the past year and a half to get this project entitled and financed in a challenging environment, "said Churchill Bunn, Managing Partner of Alpine Investments. “We are excited to see akin Golden Triangle go vertical in the coming months and look forward to delivering a first-class project to one of Denver’s most exciting urban neighborhoods.” Positioned along Bannock Street, akin Golden Triangle is one of four of RPAI’s upcoming projects that will operate under the umbrella of one brand known as “ akin ”. RPAI is developing the brand to appeal to a sophisticated, discerning, urban-minded resident while elevating each local neighborhood by creating an elegant and timeless living experience. While exterior and interior aesthetics and amenities will vary per location, each will draw upon the same brand foundation: a distinctly urban recipe of design, wellness, culture, service, and connection to the neighborhood. Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction, says the project is a natural fit for Pinkard’s teams who have extensive experience building almost 200 multifamily projects across the Colorado front range. Burke says he is excited to partner with OZ on another urban Multifamily project. “It’s exciting to see the long-term vision of the development team come to life as we break ground on this unique project,” said Burke. “We’re thrilled to partner with Revesco Properties, Alpine Investments, and OZ Architecture to create a vibrant, urban living experience in the heart of Denver’s Golden Triangle neighborhood.” "We’ve approached the design of akin Golden Triangle with a deep respect for context, materials, and the inspiring aspirations of our client. The impact of its architecture lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but in its ability to shape its immediate environment and elevate the collective urban experience of Denver,” said Nate Jenkins, Principal with OZ Architecture. “This project is the result of the incredible teamwork of OZ, Revesco, Alpine, and Pinkard. It will leave a lasting impression, enrich the lives of its occupants, and adds to the vibrancy found in the Golden Triangle Arts District." Equity for the project was provided by Cohen & Steers ( www.cohenandsteers.com ) and Posterus Partners ( posteruspartners.com ).

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 Hosts Employee Cornhole Tournament and Speaker for National Suicide Prevention Month Pinkard Hosts Employee Cornhole Tournament and Speaker for National Suicide Prevention Month September 22, 2023 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 Celebrates National OSHA Safety Standdown Week 2023 Pinkard Celebrates National OSHA Safety Standdown Week 2023 May 2, 2023 Share Share Pinkard is a company that takes safety seriously. For the 8th year in a row, they are participating in the OSHA Safety Standdown. This morning, Pinkard safety manager Dave Ruddy hosted a special event at the akin Golden Triangle job site, where OSHA representatives gave them valuable insights during their toolbox talk. "Over the past five years, we've had very few falls or slips, which means [our team is] doing an excellent job on this," said Ruddy. Here are a few tips Ruddy suggests that anyone could use to avoid a slip/fall incident. Use only ladders that are free of damage and use them according to the manufacturer. Inspect your walking-working surfaces for slip and trip hazards, then do what you can to correct these conditions or place a warning sign near them. When working at heights, inspect the work area to see what fall prevention methods you need to stay safe. Anytime you use fall protection equipment, inspect it for wear and tear and remove it from service if damaged. Speak about the hazards of working at heights and help each other design a safe work plan. Ruddy plans to host several weekly events, including the Krisana Apartments , Thrive affordable housing/Sun Valley infrastructure , and the Argyle Affordable Senior Living Community renovation job sites. Pinkard's safety strategy involves focusing on and eliminating the four primary hazards in construction: falling, being struck by, caught between, and electrocution. By prioritizing avoiding these significant dangers, Ruddy has discovered that crews can also prevent smaller safety issues. At Pinkard, safety is a top priority that is reinforced by upper management and embraced by all team members. Crew members are motivated by safety bonuses and work together to ensure the well-being of everyone on the team's well-being, ensuring that each person returns home safely at the end of the day. Thanks to a comprehensive suite of safety policies, among other measures, Pinkard has become a leader in the safety industry. Over the years, the company has maintained an above-average Experience Modifier Rate for its size and payroll, cementing its position as a standout contractor.

Pinkard Employee Volunteers Make Life Safety Upgrades to Jeffco Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School Pinkard Employee Volunteers Make Life Safety Upgrades to Jeffco Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School August 26, 2022 Share Share Pinkard Construction's community outreach program, The Pink Crew , organized several volunteers to help with the demolition of the existing deck, replacing it with an updated code-compliant deck, site clean-up, and other tasks to make staff housing safer and more enjoyable. Pinkard donated all labor and materials to complete the 650 Square foot elevated second-floor composite deck with two sets of egress stairs. "There are generations of Jeffco students who look back on their Outdoor Lab adventure and say it was one of their best memories of elementary school," said Robb Gneiser, Principal for the Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School. "Pinkard's team is top-notch, and I am excited that this year’s staff will have a wonderful new place to relax and enjoy downtime at the Windy Peak school." Gneiser says that the mission of the Outdoor Education Laboratory Program is to enhance and enrich student learning as an integral part of 6th-grade curricula by providing opportunities for hands-on, experiential, authentic learning in an outdoor setting, developing stewardship of self, community, and the environment. "This project was the epitome of stewardship of community! Great people work hard for others and feel good about a well-done job! Thank you, Pink Crew, the decks represent your legacy of stewardship, and we are grateful." "I remember my boys coming here and what a connection I felt with Outdoor Lab, JPS, and the Golden communities based on their experience," said Pinkard Warranty Superintendent Mike Levchik, who captained the Pink Crew team for this project. "This was an incredible team-building exercise. Because of our team’s enthusiasm for JPS’s Outdoor Lab program and our excitement for the project, we completed the final two days of work in just one! We had office people with little framing experience jumping in and getting it done next to managers who worked their way through the trades and carpenters next to them. I’ll never forget it." Levchik says, “Community service is a big part of Pinkard's culture. It is common to see several Pinkard employees using their provided VTO (volunteer time off) working together on Habitat for Humanity builds, homeless youth outreach, helping the Action Center improve their campus, or outreach or paint-a-thons for seniors 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 and grabbed some power tools and worked on the deck all day Friday. "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. Pinkard was founded and only works in Colorado’s Front Range. This is our community. We want to give back to it." Additional volunteers included Holt Fuller and architectural design support from HF Made.

Pinkard Rises to Any Pool Construction Challenge Pinkard Rises to Any Pool Construction Challenge January 17, 2024 Share Share Pinkard Construction’s team has undeniable expertise in pool construction. They have successfully built over 50 recreation centers and 60 indoor and outdoor pools , overcoming significant challenges. The team has a proven track record of success, from controlling costs to engaging with the community. The project team faces three primary challenges/opportunities during the preconstruction process: cost control, escalation, and procurement. The team must balance the client's wants and needs with the budget, providing real-time pricing to enable the client to make informed decisions. Pinkard relies on its vast subcontractor pool to obtain the most accurate and competitive pricing possible. They engage with multiple trade partners early, who 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. Their close relationships with major suppliers allow them to stay updated on pricing trends, which benefits the client's budget. Additionally, new material delays are showing up almost daily, but the team constantly monitors these situations and can suggest more readily available alternatives. Pinkard's Pool specialists have a Pool Facility Checklist for a well-designed pool. The checklist covers considerations like circulation, filtration, decking, finishes, HVAC, and safety. It's used to provide our clients with early and accurate pricing. When constructing the pool, 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. For indoor pools, they vet and confirm critical details regarding the pool enclosure's ability to resist corrosion and the quality control 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 is another critical stage in pool construction, and the team anticipates the need to meet strict testing and performance standards for the facility. Pinkard commits to providing ample manpower promptly to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible. On the Bison Ridge Recreation Center, Pinkard identified potential complications involving the adjacent property grading and used a more effective structural infill, saving the City $950,000 during preconstruction. Bison Ridge Recreation Center Most of the recreation and pool facilities Pinkard works on are occupied during renovation. Safety and security are critical to ensure the staff and community can continue using the facility. To account for who is on-site at what times, 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 and maintains physical and visual separation between the public and the construction work. Pinkard's recent Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center Renovation includes a new six-lane lap pool with an adjacent aqua-exercise pool, a wave pool with a lazy river and bubble pit, an activity pool with zero-depth entry, a play structure, geysers and sprays, a water slide, and a 20-person 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. Additionally, Pinkard always keeps the local community informed and excited about their projects. At Moorhead Recreation Center for the City of Aurora, 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. This event provided inspiration and information on how to get into this industry. The Pinkard recreation construction team’s expertise in pool construction developed over many years and many successful projects. From preconstruction to commissioning, they easily navigate the challenges of cost control, procurement, and escalation. Their attention to detail and commitment to community outreach and neighborhood involvement sets them apart from other contractors.
