A successful construction company does more than build buildings. It builds relationships.
When Linda Jaeger and Tim Thureson decided to start Pioneer Construction in early 1995, they had a simple plan. With Linda’s accounting and operations experience and Tim’s background in project management and estimating, they planned to start slowly by bidding small jobs and contracting carpentry work from established local general contractors. As it turned out, that plan was unnecessary. Almost immediately they landed their first job, a $760,000 project for A.J. & C. Garfunkel. After that, the work came quickly. And that first impression they made by building a relationship and not just a building has paid handsome dividends. Today, A.J. & C Garfunkel remains one of Pioneer Construction’s biggest clients.
Pioneer Construction, Inc. has earned a reputation as one of the area’s finest commercial construction companies. While typical projects include banks, educational and medical facilities, office buildings and tenant build-outs, the company is not above tackling a simple remodeling job. Each project, no matter the size, receives the same level of care and attention to detail. It is this commitment by company principals to provide personalized attention to each project that separates Pioneer Construction from the rest. It is not unusual to see Linda or Tim on site doing whatever needs to be done to bring a job in on time and within budget.
In addition to carrying the highest credit and financial ratings, Pioneer enjoys excellent bonding credit with Ohio Casualty Group and receives exceptional references from a broad base of financial institutions. They continue to bid projects, often from an invited bidders list. But it is referrals from architects and previous clients that keep them the busiest. That says a lot.
When you want a construction company that cares as much about building long-term relationships as it does about short-term projects, think Pioneer Construction, Inc. |
