Who We Are

From our employees to our clients and partners, we seek relationships that are equally beneficial and based on shared values. Contracting is a partnership unlike any other, and it can be a great one if centered on respect. This is how we have maintained clients like Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette for 30 years.

Every day and every project presents a new opportunity to learn. Curiosity coupled with hard work results in consistently better outcomes. We love to learn new skills and tackle challenges, which is why we built Oregon’s first Platinum-Rated United States Resilience Council structure--the Oregon State Treasury Building.

No one of us achieves success alone. Recognizing this, we work collaboratively, establishing shared goals and recognizing how critical every individual is to the whole. That’s why many projects start with a charter establishing how we work together, expectations, and metrics for success.

Building space for people to flourish is no small mission. Our goal to provide employees, clients, end users and partners with the conditions to flourish means we work harder than others. That’s how people like Chief Estimator Ruchi Yadav earned the DJC’s Building Diversity Award. Through mentoring small, diverse subcontractors, Ruchi is passing her skills on to others.

Promises mean a lot to us. We don’t make them lightly and, when made, we’ll work diligently to keep them. Transparency in process, estimating, constructability, billing, and schedule builds trust between ourselves and our partners.

Putting safety before schedule, and people before profits, Pence is dedicated to the people we work with. That’s why our safety team has grown exponentially in the past five years, to dedicate resources to jobsite safety practices.
