What Andersen Construction does

Andersen Construction is an employee-owned general contractor and construction manager founded in 1950 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with regional offices in Seattle, Boise, and Eugene. The firm specializes in highly complex, multi-phased projects delivered on occupied campuses and within fully functioning buildings, serving institutional clients across healthcare, higher education, multifamily housing, advanced technology, life sciences, industrial/manufacturing, commercial office, hospitality, and cultural/civic sectors. Its core services are organized around collaborative delivery methods—Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), CM/GC, Design-Build, and Negotiated GMP—supplemented by in-house preconstruction, BIM/VDC, estimating, and Lean construction services (last planner scheduling, target value design, 5S workshops). Andersen has completed over 600 CM/GC projects in the past 15 years, including 60+ LEED-certified buildings, with a safety record reportedly twice the national construction average.

The business operates on a project-based, fee-driven professional services model: contracts are awarded through competitive bidding, RFQ/RFP processes, or direct negotiation on a lump-sum, cost-plus, or GMP basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting healthcare systems, universities, government agencies (e.g., Seattle Housing Authority), and commercial developers in the Pacific Northwest. Notable delivery capabilities include BIM/VDC tools (Revit, AutoCAD MEP, Navisworks, laser scanning, Syncro), mass timber/CLT construction expertise, and a dedicated Special Projects line. Strategic partnerships include joint ventures with Hoffman Construction on large healthcare projects (OHSU Kohler Pavilion, Southwest Washington Medical Center) and with Colas Construction on the Grant High School Modernization. Distribution is augmented by a BuildingConnected-powered trade partner prequalification and bidding portal. The company is privately held and employee-owned, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity.
