Pence/Kelly Concrete

What Pence/Kelly Concrete does

Pence/Kelly Concrete is a privately held Oregon-based structural and site concrete subcontractor founded in 1949 and operating as Pence/Kelly Construction, LLC. The company self-performs foundations, mat slabs, post-tensioned slabs, shear walls, tilt-up concrete, architectural finishes, seismic retrofits, and site concrete packages for commercial construction projects across the Western United States, with active project work in Oregon, Washington, California, Alaska, Wyoming, and New Mexico. It serves primarily general contractors on landmark institutional, healthcare, higher education, government, data center, industrial, and hospitality builds — including flagship relationships with Hoffman Construction on projects such as OHSU, Reser Stadium, UO KCASI, and the PDX-QTA rental car facility, as well as hyperscale data center work for Meta at Prineville and enterprise clients at Hillsboro.

The company is supported by an in-house technical stack that includes 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), preconstruction planning, precision layout/surveying, concrete maturity testing, and specialty mix designs (e.g., Xypex waterproofing admixture, lightweight SOMD), and it operates an Oregon OSHA SHARP-appraised behavioral-based safety program that has delivered zero time-loss injury projects. Its workforce is unionized through signatory relationships with the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, the Oregon & Southern Idaho District Council of Laborers, the Operative Plasterers' and Cement Masons' International Association, and Laborers' Local 483, with three Oregon offices (Lake Oswego HQ, Salem, Bend) plus state-dedicated safety managers. Revenue is generated project-by-project via fixed-price and negotiated subcontracts bid against general contractors, with no recurring or subscription revenue; disclosed project values range from roughly $1M site-concrete packages to a $5.5M OHSU structural scope. The company filed a $158,450 SEC exempt securities offering in 2022, has a 75+ year operating history, and markets itself as a relationship-driven subcontractor with explicit intent to expand into new U.S. geographies under a 'Find Us Where You Are' positioning.

Revenue model

1. Concrete Subcontracting Projects: Revenue is earned through fixed-price and negotiated project contracts for structural concrete, site concrete, seismic retrofit, tilt-up, BIM/preconstruction and related scopes. Each engagement is a discrete, one-time construction contract typically bid against general contractors; some projects exceed $5M (e.g., OHSU $5.5M, Reser Stadium with ~270,000 SF of concrete). No recurring or subscription revenue.
2. Exempt Securities Offering (Capital Raise): In 2022, the company filed an SEC exempt securities offering totaling $158,450, indicating occasional capital raises (not a core operating revenue stream).

Core offering

Pence/Kelly Concrete is a self-performing structural and site concrete subcontractor delivering foundations, slabs, walls, tilt-up panels, and seismic retrofits for commercial construction projects across the Western United States. Services include in-house 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), preconstruction planning, layout and surveying, and large-scale pours for data centers, hospitals, universities, civic buildings, and industrial facilities. The company has been delivering concrete subcontracts since 1949, with a union workforce and OSHA SHARP-appraised safety program.

Product overview

Pence/Kelly Concrete delivers a unified concrete construction offering rather than a discrete software product line. Its portfolio is anchored by its core Structural Concrete service and is supported by the 3D Modeling/BIM and Preconstruction capabilities, which feed accurate lift/panel drawings and project planning into field execution. Layout/Surveying ensures dimensional precision before the pour, and Site Concrete is a parallel service line dedicated to exterior hardscape work such as walkways, curbs, and architectural site features. Together these services — Structural Concrete, 3D Modeling/BIM, Preconstruction, Layout/Surveying, and Site Concrete — form an integrated suite covering structural scope and sitework for projects across the Pacific Northwest.

Others

• Penhall Company: West Coast concrete services company (cutting, breaking, coring, GPR) that serves many of the same GCs and markets Pence/Kelly serves. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but indicative of the Western U.S. concrete services ecosystem and a potential partner or supplier.

Broad incumbents

• Hensel Phelps: National general contractor with a strong Western U.S. presence across data centers, healthcare, higher education, and civic projects. Operates self-perform concrete crews that directly overlap with Pence/Kelly's service offering and customer base.
• Swinerton: Large West Coast general contractor with significant self-perform concrete capabilities and longstanding relationships with the same GC and owner ecosystems (data centers, healthcare, higher ed) Pence/Kelly serves. Overlaps at the project/owner level and competes for the same large concrete scopes.
• Sundt Construction: Southwest and Western U.S. general contractor with strong self-perform concrete and a portfolio spanning data centers, healthcare, education, and civic work. Compares on end-market mix and self-perform concrete model, though at a larger national scale.
• Granite Construction: Large Western U.S. heavy civil and building contractor with materials and concrete operations. While primarily known for heavy civil, its building division competes for similar Western U.S. public and institutional concrete scopes.
• Webcor: California-based general contractor with deep structural concrete capabilities and a track record on large commercial and institutional builds (including data centers and higher ed). Competes with Pence/Kelly on the GC-bid side and absorbs some concrete scope in-house.

Direct peers

• Conco Companies: One of the largest concrete subcontractors on the U.S. West Coast, self-performing structural and site concrete with large-pour capacity comparable to Pence/Kelly's hyperscale data center work. Directly comparable in service mix, customer type (GCs and owners), and union-heavy Western U.S. operating model.
• T.B. Penick & Sons: Long-established West Coast structural and architectural concrete subcontractor delivering foundations, tilt-up, and decorative concrete for institutional and commercial projects. Overlaps with Pence/Kelly's structural and site concrete service lines and Western U.S. GC-driven go-to-market.
• Largo Concrete: California-based structural and site concrete subcontractor serving commercial, civic, and institutional projects through GC relationships. Comparable in scope (foundations, slabs, tilt-up, site concrete) and West Coast regional footprint.

Regional players

• Quiring General: Seattle/Pacific Northwest general and concrete contractor with deep union labor roots. Comparable as a regional Pacific Northwest concrete specialist with similar union signatory model, though it operates more as a GC/CM than a pure subcontractor.
