CB Construction Inc. is based in La Grande, Oregon, and works on projects throughout Oregon and Washington. When Derek Howard, the company鈥檚 president, thought about how he could reach out to more COBID-certified and MWESB subcontractors to hire, he learned about NAMC-Oregon and knew the partnership was a good fit.

鈥淲e鈥檙e a COBID-certified company and it鈥檚 really hard as a contractor to find other companies like us or minority-owned and women-owned companies,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e know that NAMC-Oregon can provide good recommendations and help us find quality companies to work with.鈥�

CB Construction is growing steadily and Howard said he looks forward to sharing with NAMC-Oregon members some of the lessons he has learned while building a company and break through barriers to enhance their businesses.

鈥淥ur partnership with NAMC-Oregon allows us to network with a broader contractor and subcontractor base in Oregon to help our company and also to help other companies find new resources,鈥� he said.

CB Construction鈥檚 services include construction management, and its in-house licensed engineers and construction management professionals specialize in controlling a project鈥檚 schedule, cost, safety record and quality. The company offers detailed plan reviews throughout the design process and accelerated techniques during construction.

Its commercial construction portfolio features office, retail, medical and education buildings. CB Construction also specializes in multifamily residential renovations and new construction. Howard recently purchased a building that previously housed The Observer newspaper in La Grande and he is turning the building into an apartment complex. Once completed, it will house 20 apartments of various sizes that should help ease the city鈥檚 housing crunch.
