PJ Dick - Trumbull - Lindy Paving

What PJ Dick - Trumbull - Lindy Paving does

PJ Dick is a private, family-owned construction management and general contracting firm founded in 1979 by Perry J. Dick and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company operates as part of PJTC Holdings, Inc., alongside wholly-owned sister companies Trumbull Corporation (heavy industrial and commercial construction) and The Lindy Group, Inc. (asphalt paving), which together provide complementary construction services across the Mid-Atlantic region. PJ Dick employs 501 to 1000 people and serves institutional and enterprise customers primarily in higher education, healthcare, commercial offices, and government, with secondary exposure to K-12 education, sports and entertainment, multi-family and senior living, retail, and industrial and energy markets.

The firm delivers the full lifecycle of construction services including Construction Management Agency, Design-Build, Developer Assist, Preconstruction and Estimating, Self-Perform work (concrete, wood framing, miscellaneous metals), Miscellaneous Metals fabrication, Sustainable Construction, and Virtual Construction. Its technology stack centers on an in-house Building Information Modeling (BIM) department staffed by four dedicated professionals, supplemented by high-definition laser scanning that captures existing conditions and converts them into 3D models for MEP coordination and fabrication scheduling. PJ Dick operates proprietary programs including MY SAFETY (built around the values of Commit, Educate, Plan, Empower, Improve, and Celebrate, with Stop Work Authority for all employees) and a Quality Management System based on the Deming Cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act).

The business model is project-based and professional-services in nature. Revenue is generated through Construction Management at Risk (fees structured as construction cost plus management fee or Guaranteed Maximum Price), Design-Build (combined design and construction fees), General Contracting (fees embedded in subcontractor markups and self-perform margins), and direct Self-Perform work. Projects are acquired through competitive bidding on public and private work, direct negotiation with owners, and long-cycle relationship management, with contract values ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than $200 million. Marquee customers include the Pittsburgh Penguins (PPG Paints Arena), UPMC, Carnegie Mellon University, Penn State, West Virginia University, PNC Financial Services, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and First National Bank.

Revenue model

1. Construction Management Services: Construction management at risk (CM at Risk) services where PJ Dick provides preconstruction, construction management, and guarantees project delivery within budget. Revenue is earned through project fees based on construction cost plus a management fee, or through negotiated GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) arrangements.
2. General Contracting: Traditional general contracting services where PJ Dick serves as the primary contractor responsible for project delivery, subcontractor management, and construction execution. Revenue is generated through competitive bidding on construction projects with fees embedded in subcontractor markups and self-perform work margins.
3. Design-Build: Integrated design and construction services under a single contract, providing collaborative project delivery. Revenue generated through combined design and construction fees, typically structured as a percentage of project cost or GMP.
4. Self-Perform Work: PJ Dick self-performs concrete work, wood framing, and miscellaneous metals fabrication and installation. Revenue from self-perform work is captured through direct labor and material costs plus overhead and profit margin.
