P&C Construction was founded in 1961 by a carpenter (Ray Pettyjohn) and a civil engineer (Don Campbell) who got their start traveling the country repairing structures for Georgia-Pacific, primarily trussed roofs.
Campbell and Pettyjohn worked as far afield as Florida before getting into constructing wood products manufacturing facilities. They later completed a number of renovations and new buildings around the Portland area for developer H. Naito Company. These included the historic renovation of Montgomery Park, Albers Mill and McCormick Pier.
As part of modernization efforts, the company relocated in 2010 from Gresham to industrial Northwest Portland. Today, the trio of Steve Malany, Steve Anderson and Bruce Heintz run the company, having succeeded Larry Koester and Campbell’s son, Dale, who for years was a prominent voice in discussions about construction-related issues in the Pacific Northwest.
P&C plans to increase its design-build work, according to marketing manager Sabrina Henkhaus. It has booked upcoming design-build contracts for the Beaverton School District, the city of Banks and a consortium of Clackamas County doctors.
