Arthur Funk & Sons

What Arthur Funk & Sons does

Arthur Funk & Sons, doing business as Funk Construction, is a third-generation, family-owned commercial general contractor headquartered in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1939 on the Arthur Funk farm — where the old barn still serves as the corporate headquarters — the firm has built continuously for over 85 years and today employs between 101 and 250 people serving mission-driven organizations across Central Pennsylvania. Its core service lines are Preconstruction Services, Design-Build Services, Construction Services, and Construction Management, supported by an in-house team of skilled carpenters and craftspeople, with project sizes ranging from 1,000 square feet to more than 100,000 square feet.

The company delivers projects across specialized market verticals including senior living (Cornwall Manor, Albright Life, Fellowship Community, Chapel Pointe), healthcare (WellSpan Health, Lebanon VA Hospital, Phoenixville Hospital), faith-based institutions (Advent Lutheran Church, Guinston Presbyterian Church), education (HACC, Lebanon Valley College), financial services (Fulton Bank branches), hospitality (Hotel Rock Lititz), and government (Lebanon City Hall). It also offers Adaptive Reuse and Historic Restoration as a specialty service. Credentials include a Pennsylvania State Certified Safety Committee (over a decade), ABC Keystone Silver Safety Awards for three consecutive years, an EMR below 1.00 since 2001, Healthcare Construction Certification, and LEED AP certification held by team members.

Commercially, Funk Construction operates as a sales-led regional builder using direct field sales, industry association referrals, and repeat business from clients such as Cornwall Manor, Fulton Bank, and WellSpan Health as primary go-to-market channels. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts for general contracting and construction management, with pricing varying by project scope, square footage, materials, and site conditions; multi-year contract cadences are typical. Ownership comprises third-generation brothers Ken Funk (President) and David H. Funk (VP Operations) alongside non-family partners Jessica E. Kosoff (VP Construction) and Nathan J. Fry (VP Preconstruction and Planning), with Bob Funk serving as Past President/Director of Special Projects. The firm is privately held, incorporated in Pennsylvania, and does not disclose revenue.
