Tackling Wooden Ceiling Cloud Craftsmanship Challenges Tackling Wooden Ceiling Cloud Craftsmanship Challenges March 14, 2022 Share Share On the Moorhead Recreation Center project, The rolling, off-set ceiling system consists of custom-made 4 X 8 wooden panels running lengthwise across the room and sandwiched with a weighted insulation system encapsulated in black vinyl. Each lengthwise run of panels hangs independently of those adjacent to it. All ceiling lighting, HVAC, and fire protection systems run through the panels hanging from a stainless steel suspension system. Each penetration had to be the exact thickness of what runs through it. Installer and supplier SRB Acoustics custom CNC- machined 1,000 acoustical holes in each of the 42 runs of panels. To properly install this sophisticated system, Pinkard first had to re-engineer the garage door system, initially designed to roll up above the panels but blocked MEP and fire system runs. Next, we re-engineered the ductwork to allow the slot diffuser room to penetrate the panels properly. Finally, Pinkard and SRB Acoustics had to drastically modify the other trades’ ceiling system work plans because typical work sequencing was impossible. Typically, each MEP and fire subcontractor goes into the ceiling and works until the job is done. Ceiling panels come last and enclose the work that was done above it. It’s efficient and straightforward; subcontractors base their profit plans on this approach. But with this ceiling system, because all MEP and fire systems had to go through each panel, we had to install one length of panels, allow each trade to run through the panel, and start over with the next length. Senior PM Derek Stathis: “This installation required some unbelievable trigonometry and geometry skills to figure out exactly would hand, and it was tough to get the trades to wait for each other during installation. But we had thought it through in bidding and had given warnings about how complicated it would be. However, when we started the buyout, we saw it was even more complicated than we first anticipated. Getting these trades to work together patiently was a great team-building experience.” Project Architect Jesse Sherr: “That ceiling had the highest difficulty level — we couldn’t anticipate how much difficulty there would be. And yeah, it came out so great.

Pinkard Crosses Critical Milestones at Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV Pinkard Crosses Critical Milestones at Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV March 17, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction has just successfully completed water tightness testing and gutter installations at the City of Broomfield’s Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV renovation. These two critical winter milestones were accomplished exactly on schedule, aided by a creative winter installation plan, a timely procurement process, and a collaborative subcontractor/installer sequencing plan. The water tightness testing phase followed concrete pool shell curing and the subsequent filling of the pool. After a three-day concrete saturation phase, Pinkard successfully conducted the three-day water tightness test of the pool shell and pressure testing of the 24,000 gallon surge tank. The water tightness test revealed virtually zero leakage, and the surge tank is operating at peak efficiency. The Pinkard team was fortunate to have a perfect-weather window that allowed for an uninterrupted testing sequence. Stainless steel gutter installations, which came with a similar set of possible weather-related challenges, also went off without a hitch. The gutter installation sequence had a timely kick-off with gutters arriving four days before scheduled installation. The Ohio-based specialty installers arrived a day early and commenced installation on time, employing special winter installation processes that were perfectly suited for the colder temperatures and light snow cover. These winter-weather construction efficiencies were made possible by early planning and collaboration during preconstruction. Using considerable input from numerous pool specialty contractors, Pinkard and the owner/design team agreed that for winter installation, a stainless steel gutter system was far superior to a conventional cast-in-place concrete gutter system. By incorporating the stainless steel system, Broomfield avoided the need for a more complicated underground piping system and tedious tile installation. Intricate tile systems typically require more predictable spring/summer temperatures. This approach provided cost savings for Broomfield and three-to-four weeks savings on the construction schedule. The water tightness testing and gutter installation completes the last of the major critical path pool activities, opening the way for preparing the concrete shell for plaster application in early June. The critical path now shifts to pool play structures, infrastructure, and mechanical/ plumbing installations. The Bay Aquatics Park project continues to be on time, with shared owner/contractor savings allowing for some owner “wish list” scope additions.

How to Avoid the Key Pitfalls in Multifamily Wood Framing How to Avoid the Key Pitfalls in Multifamily Wood Framing January 10, 2024 Share Share Wood framing is a critical multifamily construction scope requiring attention and expertise. However, it can also be risky, causing quality issues and schedule delays if not appropriately managed. This is why Pinkard Construction has launched a new framing division, Pinkard Frameworks , to address these challenges. Recently, Pinkard President Tony Burke and Pinkard Frameworks Manager Dan Harris sat down to discuss the problem with wood framing and the solutions Pinkard can offer. In this division, professionals with in-depth framing knowledge work closely with the design team and key suppliers to ensure framing designs meet architectural and structural intent, constructability, and seamless integration with other trades. Pinkard Frameworks has dedicated framing professionals who can lead subcontractors and interface with the project superintendent to catch minor issues before they become significant problems. Ultimately, taking ownership and responsibility for the wood framing process is the key to success in commercial multifamily construction. Q: Wood framing is said to be one of the riskiest scopes in commercial construction. What makes it so risky? Tony Burke: Wood framing is a unique process that requires a lot of attention and expertise. If not managed properly, it can cause problems that cascade into other trades, leading to quality issues and schedule delays. This is what makes our new framing division so important; our clients, developer partners, design professionals and fellow general contractors can benefit from partnering with such a dedicated and specialized team. Dan Harris: Another potential issue is that very few wood framing subcontractors can be bonded. This is proof that the process is risky and requires someone to take ownership. That is why I am so happy to be a part of this new division, Pinkard Frameworks. Q: What is the solution to these problems? Tony Burke: The solution is to take ownership of the wood framing process. This means 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. Dan Harris: A critical aspect of this is cultivating relationships with vendors and holding them to project specifications. This approach ensures quality and saves owners money. Q: Can you give an example of how this approach has worked in the past? Tony Burke: Pinkard’s recent efforts on Krisana Affordable Housing created a framing design that saved the owner over $250,000. Dan Harris: Another example is Pinkard’s recent preconstruction efforts for Boulder County Housing Authority’s project, Willoughby Corner. The initial design was a unique, modern design that required complex engineering. We took the time to work with the design team to understand the factors driving the design decisions. We developed more economical solutions without sacrificing the overall look of the building. Q: What role does on-site supervision play in ensuring successful wood framing? Dan Harris: 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. Tony Burke: On-site framing supervisors must have the knowledge and authority to make quick decisions and adjustments, saving time and money. Q: In summary, what is the key to success in wood framing? Tony Burke: 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. Q: Finally, can you tell us more about Pinkard Frameworks? Tony Burke: It’s a wood framing division of Pinkard Construction that will serve as a trade partner to developers and general contractors along the Colorado front range. We are thrilled to have Dan as our new Wood Frame Manager. His 40 years of experience have really let this division hit the ground running. Dan Harris: We will continue to self-perform wood framing for Pinkard projects, but other projects will be supported by Pinkard’s Self-Performance Department, including our team of superintendents, carpenters and foremen.

Pinkard Completes Rehabilitation of Village on Main Pinkard Completes Rehabilitation of Village on Main October 21, 2024 Share Share Pinkard Construction has completed work the $8 million rehabilitation of Village on Main Apartments, formerly known as Village Place Apartments, located on Main Street in downtown Longmont. Partnering with the Longmont Housing Authority (owner/developer), Rosemann & Associates (architect), and Artaic Group (owner’s representative), Pinkard participated in design charettes with residents and the owner/design team to ensure resident programming needs were met. Pinkard’s preconstruction efforts included providing tax credit funding assistance, design-assist solar electrical input, and ultimately incorporating all owner wish list items into the existing budget. Scope of work on the 68,000 square foot, 10-month project included top-to-bottom unit upgrades, common area and exterior improvements, the replacement of boilers, through-wall air conditioners, and electrical meters, plus demolishing an abandoned solar hot water system to allow for a new 165kw roof-mounted ballasted solar photovoltaic system. Pinkard also replaced finishes, plumbing fixtures and lighting, roof membranes, and upgraded several units to meet current UFAS Accessibility standards. The project also met EGC sustainability standards for creating a healthier environment for residents and includes updated fixtures to reduce energy and water usage. To minimize disruptions to the residents during this occupied renovation of all 72 units, the work was conducted on a “rolling occupancy” basis, with 13 units updated at a time, requiring the coordination of temporary resident relocations. Some intriguing challenges included minimizing water shutoff durations during new boiler installation and working with the owner/design team to find the most effective solutions for minimizing electrical outages associated with electrical system upgrades. Through Pinkard’s careful budgeting, they were able to accommodate late client add-ons—such as redoing more than half of the building’s siding and replacing the already-installed corridor carpeting to a more durable and aesthetic option—while finishing in budget and on time. “It was such a pleasure to renew our relationship with Longmont Housing Authority with such a successful project, not to say it was without its challenges,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “Renovations like this always reveal unforeseen circumstances, but we were really grateful to have such a strong team in LHA, Rosemann, and Artaic to overcome all those obstacles and meet our project goals.” Learn More Affordable Housing Construction See Projects Senior Living Construction See Projects Occupied Renovation Construction See Projects Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard 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 Tops Out $80,000,000 Willoughby Corner in Boulder County Pinkard Tops Out $80,000,000 Willoughby Corner in Boulder County April 10, 2024 Share Share rendering courtesy HB&A Architecture April 3, 2024: Pinkard Construction, a leading Colorado affordable housing contractor, celebrated the topping out of Willoughby Corner, a 400-unit affordable housing development in Boulder County. The celebration included a catered lunch with a focus on worker appreciation with a raffle for various prizes. In attendance were representatives of owner Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA), HB&A Architects, Norris Design, Pinkard Frameworks framing division, Farnsworth Group engineers, Drexel Barrell, and other project consultants. The ceremony celebrates the topping-out of Willoughby’s six phase-one buildings. Phase one includes two nine-plex apartment buildings for larger families, two one- and two-bedroom multi-family apartment buildings, an independent senior living building, and a community center. The first homes, 63 affordable ADA-accessible apartments for adults aged 55 and over, will be ready for move-in by the end of 2024. Each building includes rooftop patios with mountain views, lounges, libraries, and meeting space. There are 192 units in phase one. BCHA Development Director Molly Chiang: “I’m so proud of the team and their high-quality work to get us framed out. Pinkard and the subs have made such amazing progress despite crazy snowstorms this past season. We are excited to top-out today and move into spring!” Pinkard Frameworks framing division played a key role in keeping the project on schedule, with in-depth planning during preconstruction. Frameworks’ focus was saving money for BCHA while maximizing construction efficiencies and avoiding in-field redesigns. Frameworks Wood Frame Manager Dan Harris: “With Willoughby’s various wall-heights and complicated truss requirements, every single stud had to have a custom cut. Our preconstruction preparations included redlining the floor plans of each wall type and ordering different-length stud materials to reduce waste. The additional cost of field-cutting studs was incorporated into the carpenters’ schedule of values. These proactive preconstruction activities greatly contributed to keeping this project on schedule and in budget.” The project is made possible through the City of Lafayette’s financial support with nearly $1.5 million in fee waivers for the first phases of the project, the $3.1 million purchase of the land, and $5.3 million in grants for Willoughby’s water rights. Willoughby Corner is also possible thanks to Boulder County Commissioners’ contributions. Commissioners have added nearly $13 million in county and American Rescue Plan Act funds to ensure Willoughby Corner will delivery much-needed affordable housing to the community. Total development and construction costs for Willoughby Corner are currently $114 million. Willoughby Corner’s affordable homes are expected to serve generations of families, individuals, older adults, and the workforce earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income (AMI).

How Pinkard Invests in People How Pinkard Invests in People August 17, 2022 Share Share In Colorado, the construction industry is facing a historic and problematic worker shortage, and Pinkard is focused on attracting top-tier talent through a focus on employee development, staying local, and a focus building high-performing teams over profits. "Pinkard is just the right size; I like that I make it home to eat dinner with my family every night," said Stephen vonDreele, a Project manager. "Pinkard doesn't just uproot you to work on a remote jobsite. They focus on winning work in our own backyard." For 60 years, Pinkard has built exclusively along the Colorado Front Range, and there are no plans to change that. Tony Burke, Pinkard's President, says that keeping its employees local is a high priority, and the overall direction he sees for the company is one of "controlled growth." "Pinkard is a Colorado company; we build projects for Colorado institutions Like CSU (Colorado State University) and School of Mines and affordable and senior housing that has a positive impact on this community," said Burke. "As many companies grow and branch out, they send crews out and their employees live in hotels; that is not us. We want our people to be with their families and enjoy living in this great state." In terms of community involvement, it is not rare to see several Pinkard employees in their bright pink "PinkCrew" shirts spending some of their provided VTO (volunteer time off) working together on Habitat for Humanity builds, homeless youth outreach or paint-a-thons for elderly people 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. "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." In addition to this opportunity to give back, Pinkard employees work in an environment where the company invests heavily in developing their skills and diversifying project experience. Promotions are frequently made from within, and most employees start in rotational positions. When recruiting construction-focused graduates, Pinkard allows them to “try out” each of the three main career paths in Operations: Construction Management, Field Operations, and Preconstruction Services. This allows everyone to find where they will be the most successful and creates a greater understanding (for both individual employees and for the entire organization) about how each division interacts to serve the client. Leighton Neff, a current senior preconstruction manager, discussed how shortly after graduating from Colorado State University in 2006, he joined Pinkard and has since held Project management, field operations, and preconstruction roles. "I really enjoy that I got to work on different project types and try out the different parts of the organization," said Neff. "Pinkard has such a diversity of project types and sizes. I like that, unlike other contractors, I will not be locked into one project type for the rest of my career at the company. I get to explore a bit." Pinkard's controlled growth strategy is what makes this approach possible. Because Pinkard is mindful of matching its pursuits and workload to its staffing levels, it creates an environment where work-life balance and its employees' wellbeing are prioritized. "We have a unique culture here and are protective of it. It is why we do extensive strategic alignment interviews and communication and work preference assessments that we use to shape our interviews and even after an employee is hired to build high-functioning work teams.," said Jeff Kessler, Director of Human Resources. "We ask a lot of our employees in terms of professionalism and technical skills. So, we work hard to ensure that they are supported, developed, and have balance."

Pinkard and BCHA Celebrate Grand Opening of Willoughby Corner Pinkard and BCHA Celebrate Grand Opening of Willoughby Corner August 27, 2025 Share Share A spirited ceremony attended by 300 people this past Thursday marked the grand opening of Boulder County Housing Authority’s (BCHA) Willoughby Corner neighborhood. Featuring food, a ribbon-cutting, and remarks from project partners, the event marked a bookend to Phase I of the massive $114 million project ($83 million in hard costs). Located east of downtown Lafayette, the first phase of the landmark permanently affordable development boasts 192 new units of income-restricted housing, comprising a 63-unit apartment building for 55-and-over residents and four multi-family buildings totaling 129 units. The project also includes a 4,480 SF community center, a community garden, and pickleball courts, and $15 million of roads and infrastructure. A model of sustainability, the all-electric development utilizes extensive geothermal and solar energy systems to become what is now the largest Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) community in Colorado. Pinkard Construction completed the project under budget and ahead of schedule this past December, despite a five-month permitting delay. While BCHA granted Pinkard a five-month extension, it remained a critical goal to reach substantial completion before the end of 2024 to meet BCHA’s funding needs. To achieve this, Pinkard had to make considerable adjustments to their manpower, logistics, sequencing and quality control plans. Leaning heavily on its in-house framing division, Pinkard Frameworks, Pinkard was able to frame all six buildings simultaneously, while stacking trades throughout to keep progressing. After a sprint to the finish line, Pinkard was able to attain substantial completion on December 31, 2024, resulting in a $500,000 savings for BCHA. In total, Pinkard completed the entire project in just 15 months. “I’m here to thank the teams,” said Construction Manager Joe Revielle in his speech, “because it takes a big team effort to put a place like this together in 15 months. First off, thank you to the City of Lafayette for working with us to overcome the challenges we were up against. Thank you to HB&A Architects (now RS&H) for designing such a beautiful facility for us. A big thank you to the many people at BCHA that we worked with to make this happen all the way to the end. And finally, I have to thank my team at Pinkard for doing such an exceptional job, and for working through the holidays to make this project happen on time.” “Willoughby Corner is a testament to what we can do when we work together,” said BCHA Executive Director Susana Lopez-Baker in her closing remarks. “This project is a powerful vision. It shows that by leaning into innovation and collaboration, we can create more than just buildings. We can build true communities.” While many families have already moved into the new community, a limited number of homes remain available for people earning up to 60 percent of the Area Median Income, or about $70,000 per year for a two-person household.
