What T A Ward Constructors Inc does

T.A. Ward Constructors, Inc. is a privately held site development contractor founded in 1976 and headquartered at 1562 Oakdale Road in Oakdale, Pennsylvania. The firm specializes in commercial, industrial, and residential site development across the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and surrounding counties, delivering earthmoving, utility installation, grading, and stormwater work for private and public projects of varying size. Its core offering is a turnkey, one-stop delivery model in which multiple earthmoving and utility crews are managed under a single contract, supported by computerized estimating and accounting systems plus drone, GPS, and laser field systems for surveying and field execution.

The company is led by President Scott Kerber and a six-person office team (Management/CAD Technician, Superintendent, Estimator, Bookkeeper, and Office Manager) that collectively claims approximately 200 years of construction experience. Notable disclosed projects include multi-phase residential subdivisions such as Traditions of America (352-home 55+ community in Canonsburg, ongoing since November 2019), McConnell Trails, Gregg Station, Walnut Ridge, Bright Oaks, and Rivers Edge, plus the Waters of Wexford senior living community and the Bobby Rahal Land Rover / Jaguar dealership site in Canonsburg.

Revenue is generated through project-based bids quoted individually by the in-house estimator, with no publicly disclosed pricing, subscription, or recurring contract structure. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven via direct sales, the company's project-gallery website, and memberships in the Pennsylvania Utility Contractors Association, the National Utility Contractors Association, and the Builder's Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh. The firm is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent company, and operates exclusively within western Pennsylvania.
