What Clark/Sullivan Construction does

Clark/Sullivan Construction (C/S) is a privately held regional general contractor founded in 1975 in Northern Nevada and headquartered in Sparks, NV, with a second division office in Roseville, CA. The firm provides preconstruction and construction services across multiple delivery methods — Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) with guaranteed maximum price, Design-Build, Lease-Leaseback, Design-Assist, and traditional Design-Bid-Build — and operates across verticals including healthcare, K-12 and higher education, justice and correctional facilities, hospitality, community and recreation, airport/parking, and industrial/distribution. Project values range from $1.5 million to $275 million, with marquee engagements including the $275M Renown Tahoe Tower, the $150M+ Renown Master Plan Improvements, and the $165M Procter R. Hug High School.

The firm's core technology footprint is intentionally lean: C/S runs trade-partner pre-qualification and bidding on the BuildingConnected (Autodesk) platform and deploys publicly accessible live construction cameras on active project sites as a transparency and marketing tool. There are no proprietary software products, public APIs, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. The company is signatory to the Carpenters Unions in Nevada and California and the Laborers Union in Nevada, and is led by four long-tenured partners — Kevin Stroupe (CEO/CFO), Jarrett Rosenau (President of NV Operations), Jerry Hogan (Chief Estimator), and Ted Foor — who assumed ownership following the 2019 retirement of co-founder BJ Sullivan.

Clark/Sullivan generates revenue through fee- and percentage-based compensation on construction projects, with general conditions, overhead, and profit applied to construction cost under the selected delivery method. The go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales targeting public-sector and institutional clients — school districts, healthcare systems, county and state governments — accessed via competitive public-works bidding and direct engagement with repeat customers. The firm reports 85% repeat-client utilization across more than 900 completed projects, an indicator of high client concentration and predictable relationship-based revenue. California capacity is augmented through the C/S Broward joint venture with Broward Builders.
