Pinkard Hosts Second Annual Cornhole Tournament Supporting Mental Health Pinkard Hosts Second Annual Cornhole Tournament Supporting Mental Health September 17, 2024 Share Share For the second year in a row, Pinkard Construction hosted a cornhole tournament for its employees last Friday. While there was plenty of fun and games to be had, not to mention a dessert food truck, the day was also about acknowledging a serious topic: mental health. Capping off Construction Suicide Prevention Week—which Safety Manager Dave Ruddy spoke about with CBS News earlier in the week—the day’s pre-tournament festivities included a talk by Duke Rumley, executive director of Sober AF Entertainment (S.A.F.E.), a non-profit that provides resources and creates sober spaces at live events to combat the idea that you can’t have fun without drugs and alcohol. Rumley’s talk, which also included a demonstration of the life-saving anti-opioid spray NARCAN, was about identifying what addiction looks like, and how to help somebody who’s struggling with it. Explaining the connection between substance abuse and mental health, he said: “One of the core issues with addiction is that you are prey to misery and depression. When you get defeated, and you feel like there is no way out, a lot of people choose suicide. We're here today to tell people that there are lots of different resources that Pinkard offers, from Youturn Health to having a company culture that’s willing to talk about it, there’s a safe place to come and get help.” After a brief Q&A with Rumley, Dave Ruddy got on the mic to remind everyone to talk to each other, get to k now each other, and check in with each other. “We’re a family here,” he said. “We’ve got to watch each other’s backs.” And with that, the epic sandbag showdown commenced on the cornhole field. For more conversations on mental health and suicide prevention, check out our recent series for Men’s Mental Health Month, featuring fascinating Q&As with Dave, HR Director Jeff Kessler , and former EMT Bryce Heitsmith .

A Culture of Safety Excellence A Culture of Safety Excellence May 10, 2024 Share Share At Pinkard Construction, safety is not just a core value, it’s the central focus of everything we do. “Safety is not just a priority, it's the priority ,” says Safety Manager David Ruddy, better known on the jobsite as Safety Dave. Dave is a passionate advocate for creating a culture of safety that extends beyond the workplace. “For me, safety comes down to one thing: your why. For most of us, that’s our loved ones. Working safe, for us and for everyone around us, means coming home healthy and whole every single day.”  That’s why Safety Dave rejects the old saying “Safety First,” instead preaching the mantra, “Family first, safety always.”  Dave continues: “We want to make sure that everyone who works for us knows that their safety is key to the success of our company. And it means making sure that everyone else on our jobsite—fellow workers, neighbors, passers-by and visitors to the site—do too.” Rather than simply policing safety violations, Pinkard believes that creating a positive culture of safety is the key to ensuring everyone on the job site stays safe. “We want to create a culture where safety is not just a set of rules and regulations, but an integral part of the way we work,” Dave explains. “We make sure people know their ‘why’ and then we equip them with the best possible training. We create processes and procedures that make it easy to work safely. Everyone must feel empowered to speak up if they see something that is not safe.”  In addition to physical safety, Pinkard is also committed to promoting mental health awareness and providing associated resources for its employees. "We recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. The construction industry has an alarming rate of suicide. That must change. We want our employees to know that it's important to talk about mental health and that we're here to support them."  To help promote holistic wellness, Pinkard has partnered with You Turn Health to provide employees 24/7 access to supportive services for stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and suicidal ideation. “Almost all of us have experienced losing a loved one,” says Dave. “Sometimes there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent it, but we are committed to making sure that preventable injuries and deaths never happen on our watch.”   Learn More Our Team Learn More Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Career Building Q&A: Edgar Tarin August 21, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Promotes Mike Hager to Construction Manager May 18, 2026 Learn More 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 Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for on the 1899 Wynkoop Amenity Remodel project. 1899 Wynkoop Amenity Remodel 120000 Office, Class A, Mixed-Use, Special Project, Tenant Interior/Build Out Located in a “trophy” location of Denver's Lower Downtown (LoDo), just steps away from Coors Field, McGregor Square and Union Station, this $5.4 million Class A lobby renovation was conducted within a fully occupied LEED Gold certified nine-story office building serving more than 400 office occupants and visitors daily. The scope of the renovation included build-out of a tenant lounge, coffee bar, fitness center with five new restrooms (three with showers), office and conference space, bike storage and an exterior canopy. High end finishes included large format tile from Italy, millwork, interior glass wall systems, storefront, and a custom hybrid curtainwall storefront system. These new amenities required extensive expansion of existing MEP systems with tie-ins in a fully occupied first floor lobby space above a fully operational below-grade parking garage. Pinkard accessed the MEP systems from the parking garage below, working in the ceiling to accomplish most of the in-slab plumbing installations. Disruptive saw cutting and core drilling activities were conducted off-hours. Pinkard also implemented proven pedestrian and vehicular safety measures to minimize disruptions and to ensure safety for tenants and visitors. Noise, dust, and vibration controls included use of panelized dust and sound containment barriers. During preconstruction, a deliberate and meticulous procurement process ensured timely delivery of the Italian tile. Pinkard’s closely managed quality control program ensured tight tolerances for the tile installation. Design-assist subcontracting played a key role in the successful procurement, fabrication, and installation of the two-story full-glass curtainwall system, which is a centerpiece design component of the new lobby area. This project finished ahead of schedule and in budget thanks in part to strong field collaboration and problem solving.

Adaptive Reuse – A Contractor’s Perspective Adaptive Reuse – A Contractor’s Perspective October 17, 2023 Share Share According to Wikipedia, adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an existing building for a purpose other than that for which it was originally built or designed. Adaptive reuse has been lauded for its ability to save historically significant structures, maintain historical neighborhood context, conserve natural resources, and minimize construction-related disruptions to neighborhoods. But from a purely practical perspective, it can possibly provide a much lower cost construction option. But before jumping into an adaptive re-use project, several factors must be seriously considered. Does your building’s structure lend itself to adaptive reuse? Can you take your office building that has systems at the end of their life cycle, and rather than just replacing the systems, does the structure allow a new layout for one-bedroom affordable apartments? At Denver Housing Authority’s Thomas A. Connole apartments, Pinkard stripped the building down to its concrete skeleton and built 10-story-tall exterior structural concrete walls to convert the 50-year-old building from studio apartments into one- and two-bedroom units. For the City and County of Denver’s Minoru Yasui Plaza project, the former Downtowner Motor Inn was converted into office space. There, Pinkard did comprehensive interior renovations that included installation of a state-of-the-art European hydronic heating system. Both adaptive reuse projects won national acclaim for their creativity and construction excellence. City and County of Denver’s Minoru Yasui Plaza And then there is asbestos abatement, lead-based paint, and aluminum wiring, all of which can break a budget at the start. Denver’s Green Roof Initiative? If you’re putting on a new roof you may be required to include a green roof or a combination of green roof and solar energy collection – both pricey additions. The condition of the exterior skin must also be considered – replacement can complicate construction with time-consuming scaffolding systems and street closures. HVAC systems are typically the highest-cost systems. Compromises in the wrong way will have end users complaining to management on a weekly basis. Will zoning support your intended purpose? Can you go from office space to mixed-use retail/residential and meet parking requirements? What is the required cars-per-thousand-square-feet ratio to support retail and/or residential use? Chances are your office building may not meet that. Regardless of the quality of a building’s as-built drawings ( if you even have any? ) and the level of due diligence, you can be assured that you will run into unforeseen conditions that stall your schedule and take precious dollars out of your budget over and above the 10% contingency allowance most lenders require. Every contractor can provide a long litany of owner/architect/contractor unforeseen condition woes, with a corresponding array of schedule delays and cost increases. Fortunately, there are ways to greatly improve your chances of success. Dedicated collaboration and teamwork can avert potentially disastrous outcomes, and this of course speaks volumes about how you should select your team partners. Your contractor, architect and engineers should have considerable experience with complicated renovations and excellent team skills, and your contractor’s preconstruction team should have a great record of providing accurate estimates for these types of renovations. It’s always best to take a conservative approach when estimating a complex adaptive reuse. Sometimes owners begin with very tight budgets and a huge potential for unforeseen conditions. This makes for a very problematic preconstruction phase, with considerable budgetary headaches and possibly slashing scope. At that point your exciting dream project can become something of a nightmare. It’s also important to be sure that your team’s budgets include ample contingencies and allowances, and that the use of these tools is clearly spelled out. Early in the budgeting phase, Pinkard typically starts with a higher contingency load based upon our custom risk log for your project. For example, if there is asbestos, aluminum wiring, and the windows and HVAC need to be replaced, those factors pretty much dictate your costs. But we can start eliminating the unknowns through testing, exploration, and collaboration with major subcontractors and engineers. 3D laser scanning, ground penetrating radar to scan post-tensioned slabs, basic non-destructive investigations, etc. all combine to provide a better understanding of the many variables that may affect an owner's budget. Pinkard President Tony Burke observes that “Laser scanning is a recent technology our teams are using with great success. It is making a dramatic difference in our abilities to measure every inch of a building to create more constructable designs and more predictable construction plans. The data is uploaded into a building information technology platform. Designers use this data to create more exacting layouts with greatly reduced risk of clashes and layout busts. And the cost/benefit ratio of this technology is overwhelmingly favorable.” A better understanding of risk allows for a reduction in contingency. Pinkard shares this information with the entire team to fully inform the owner. In many cases, with this data, an owner/architect/contractor team should have enough information to manage risk and allow a project to move forward. Every building is adaptable, but not every adaptation is affordable. Put a lot of thought and care into selecting a trusted and responsible team to help you sort through all the details. It is the shortest and best path to a wise decision.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for East West Partners - Denver on the Creekside Flats/Lofts project. Creekside Flats/Lofts Denver, Colorado, USA East West Partners - Denver 92,000 Sq. Ft., 80 Units Multi-Family Housing, Market Rate, Underground Parking, Wood Framed, Ground Up Creekside Lofts and Creekside Flats are each 40 units, 4-story wood-frame condominiums of approximately 46,611 gross square feet. The structures are Construction Type V, 1-hour rating. Exterior fascia includes brick, steel siding, and Portland Cement Plaster, requiring extensive subcontractor coordination and phasing. Each unit has its own condenser and aquatherm system. Common areas have forced-air, gas-fired heaters with condenser units on the roof. The condominiums are constructed above the 37,200 sf, post-tensioned underground parking structure. The parking structure's footprint covers the entire site of both phases. The parking structure's entry/exit ramp includes a snowmelt heating system within the slab. Shoring on the north side is at ten feet. Pinkard self-performed the foundations. In the early 1900's the site was used as a rail car coal-dump, which produced considerable soil contaminates. Pinkard coordinated with a specialty subcontractor to conduct extensive environmental monitoring during soils exportation. A 100-year old retaining wall separates the site from Cherry Creek. All construction activities were carefully conducted to assure that the wall was undamaged. Two different construction projects were underway at the site, which created very tight staging conditions. Pinkard and the other builder were forced to coordinate construction sequencing within a single staging area. Pinkard performed extensive preconstruction and value engineering for this project to help the owner make budget and stay competitive in the tight downtown Denver housing market.
