Pinkard Construction Now a Catamount Constructors Company Strengthening its Team and Expanding its General Contracting Services Nationwide.
Pinkard Construction is becoming a Catamount Constructors company. One of Denver’s most trusted general contractors is joining forces with a national employee-owned platform, bringing its deep client relationships, local expertise, and decades of community trust into a partnership built for the long haul. Clients and partners from both companies gain access to expanded resources, expertise, and leadership while preserving the local relationships, market knowledge, and responsiveness that have earned their trust.
The Pinkard Catamount Partnership
Pinkard and Catamount share a common foundation: quality work, strong client relationships, a commitment to safety, and a deep investment in the communities they serve. Pinkard’s deep local tenure and market expertise, combined with Catamount’s national presence and resources, adds depth and reach to what is already a strong foundation in Denver and provides a national platform for Pinkard clients.
Together, the two teams bring added strength to existing markets and open doors in new ones, expanding what’s possible for clients and employees from both companies. Pinkard also brings Pinkard Frameworks, an in-house wood framing division that gives the combined organizations the ability to self-perform framing on their own projects, in addition to serving outside developers and general contractors across the Colorado Front Range. With established market roots, a mutual commitment to quality and communication, and a combined pipeline behind them, this partnership creates real momentum going forward. Both organizations are better positioned to support owners and developers through changing market conditions and increasingly complex projects.
“Pinkard’s name carries real weight in this market, and that is exactly why this partnership is so exciting. Strong relationships, quality work, commitment to safety, and a team that takes real pride in what they build,” said James Benning, CEO at Catamount. “Bringing them into Catamount as employee-owners feels like a natural next step. It’s about investing in the people who built something great and giving them a stake in where it goes from here. We’re excited about what we’ll accomplish together.”
"Joining Catamount gives us something rare – the ability to grow without changing who we are," said Tony Burke, President at Pinkard. "Our clients get the same team they've trusted for decades, now backed by the resources and reach of a nationally recognized contractor. We’ll be able to build for our clients across the country and tackle their most complex projects. It’s change in the best way possible."
“With more than 30 years in the Denver market, I've watched both of these organizations earn their reputations the right way,” added Tom Alford, Catamount Chief Operating Officer and former COO at Pinkard. “The combination of Pinkard’s local expertise and Catamount’s national platform creates a powerhouse in this market. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside the Pinkard team, and look forward to continuing to build on those relationships together.”
