What Yost Gallagher Construction, Llc does

Yost Gallagher Construction, LLC is a privately held commercial general contractor and construction management firm headquartered in Spokane, Washington, with a secondary Idaho office in Coeur d'Alene. Founded in 1979 as Mooney and Pugh Building Contractors, the firm took its current name in 2016 following a merger of Yost Mooney & Pugh Contractors and Gallagher Construction Group. The company operates across the Inland Northwest, holding active contractor licenses in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon, and delivers projects through traditional bid-build, guaranteed maximum price, and design-build delivery models.

The firm offers pre-construction (planning, budgeting, feasibility, risk mitigation), construction (general contracting and construction management), and design-build services, supplemented by tenant improvements, site development, renovation and renewal, and maintenance work. Its portfolio spans roughly 45 project categories across commercial, retail, healthcare, financial, hospitality, multifamily, and industrial construction, serving customers such as WSECU, STCU, Washington Trust Bank, AgWest Farm Credit, Taco Bell franchisees, Chipotle, Starbucks, Dairy Queen, Take 5 Oil Change, Mister Car Wash, Aspen Dental, Weber Dental, Hampton Inn, and Gonzaga University.

The company generates revenue through project-based fees tied to scope, duration, and complexity under the three primary delivery models, secured primarily via direct sales, competitive bidding, and long-term relationship-based referrals rather than digital marketing or channel partners. It is founder/management-owned with no external institutional investors, with principals Jeff Gallagher (President), Matt Galvano (Vice-President), and Cory Yost (Principal) overseeing operations supported by a workforce where many employees exceed 20 years of tenure.
