What P&C Construction does

P&C Construction is a privately held, employee-owned commercial general contractor founded in 1961 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The firm delivers new construction, renovation, and modernization projects ranging from $100,000 to over $40 million for both public and private clients, with a primary focus on the Oregon market and selective work in the broader Pacific Northwest.

Its core offering is full-service general contracting delivered through three primary methods: competitive hard bid, Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC), and progressive design-build. Service verticals span K-12 schools, higher education, public safety facilities (police, fire, EOCs), civic/community buildings, healthcare, historic renovation (including National Register projects with SHPO compliance), libraries, parks and recreation, flex/office/industrial, tenant improvement, affordable housing, and hospitality. Notable projects include the $36.7M CM/GC renovation of Tumwata Middle School for Oregon City School District, the LEED Platinum-certified Vernonia School, the LEED Silver Sandy Library, and the 70% more energy-efficient Patriot Hall Redevelopment at Clatsop Community College.

The business model is project-based, professional-services contracting: revenue is earned through lump-sum, cost-plus, and time-and-materials contracts awarded via competitive public bidding or negotiated/design-build pursuit. The go-to-market motion is relationship-led, driven by repeat clients, preconstruction services (estimating, value engineering, constructability review), and a multi-decade track record with Oregon school districts, municipalities, and nonprofits. The company operates standard construction PM technology (Procore, Smartsheet, eBuilder, Revit, Bluebeam) layered with internally developed safety programs (Look & Lead campaign and Vivid training platform) that have yielded AGC National Construction Safety Excellence Awards in 2019 and 2020. Ownership has been held by an internal management team since 2005 (currently Steve Malany, Steve Anderson, Bruce Heintz, and Brian Shoemaker, the last joining in 2015), with no external private equity involvement disclosed.
