Over the past 70 years, Pence Construction has built a reputation for establishing lasting relationships with project partners and clients that are grounded in trust, dedication and collaboration. By asking big questions and analyzing small details, the company has successfully engaged in teamwork to take visions and make them tangible.

Pence Construction was founded in 1949 in the Willamette Valley by Dale Pence. The company鈥檚 leaders have continued his tradition of a dedication to strong partnerships, keeping commitments and reliability. Owners Paul Schulz and Dave Hays are steadfast in their promise to fulfill the company鈥檚 obligations regardless of the circumstances. This core value is among the reasons Pence Construction has been among the Portland Business Journal鈥檚 Top 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies list for the past two years.

Another factor in the company鈥檚 success is its determination to increase diversity and equity in commercial construction. It has partnered with NAMC-Oregon to encourage more women and people of color to join the profession through subcontracting, and gain the skills and experience to fill management and executive positions, said Marc Monaghan, LEED AP, Pence Construction鈥檚 director of business development.

Monaghan said members of Pence Construction will attend NAMC-Oregon meetings and present subcontracting opportunities as well as broaden outreach efforts at other community events in order to generate more interest among DMWESB businesses.

鈥淥ur initiative is an effort to try to uncover what may be preventing them from coming to us for projects, whether it鈥檚 the size of the project or the scope is wrong or maybe they don鈥檛 know Pence very well,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e want to help them get around whatever roadblock there is so they can become long-time partners with us.鈥�
