Welcome to Pilkington Construction Co Inc!
When we started Pilkington Construction in 1985, Yuma was still a sleepy town in the Arizona desert. Now, that sleeping giant is wide awake. Yuma was the third fastest-growing city in the nation during the 1900s. Today, is it the third-largest city in all of Arizona.
 Along with that growth has come a tremendous demand for more schools, more hospitals and more places to shop. We are proud to have been a key partner in building our community for nearly two decades. In fact, it's hard to go anywhere in town without seeing one of our projects.
At the same time, we have built Pilkington Construction on a solid foundation that will keep us a vital part of the community for years to come.
A Proud Past
 Our founder and president, Jim Pilkington, can't remember a time when he wasn't involved in the construction industry. He started out in his native Longmont, Colorado, as a framing subcontractor and remodeling contractor before moving to Casper, Wyo., in 1972. He spent a decade in Casper where he worked as a general contractor and married his wife, Cathy.
In 1985, Jim moved to Yuma to start Pilkington Construction. His brother, Chris, soon joined the company, and Cathy now manages office operations. With nearly 100 employees, the Pilkington family continues to grow.
Full Range of Services
Big-city contractors can specialize in one industry or area of expertise. To succeed in Yuma, we need to be able to offer each customer all of the services they need. And that's exactly what we do.
We have the expertise to manage your project from site selection to planting the final tree in the landscape. Our designers, engineers. construction managers and the site planners will sit down with you to learn exactly what you want -- then turn your dreams into reality. We've been in Yuma long enough to understand how to cut through red tape and keep your project moving forward.
Design-Build Alternative
If you know exactly what you want in a building, that's great. We will take your plans and build them with the quality workmanship you expect. Today, the majority of our business is in hard-bid, bonded work.
But if you are not quite sure, we offer a design-build approach that puts your project on the fast track. We create a special design team that includes you, the architect, engineers and our experts. We make sure your budget and schedule stay on track, and the design-build team keeps an eye open for options that will save both time and money.
And if you are really in a hurry, we offer a time-saving alternative through our partner relationships that can drastically reduce design and construction time. How? By doing more than one thing at one.
We apply for foundation permits while working drawing are being finalized. Steel is erected while you are making final decisions about interiors. our project management and field personnel meet at least once a day, along with weekly project monitoring by each design team member. by being proactive, we can identify and eliminate potential problems -- before they become problems.
regardless of which approach you choose, we have a reputation for bringing every project in on time -- and more often than not, completing early.
Remaining Flexible
It would be hard to name an industry in which we don't have experience. It also would be hard to find a project either too large or too small for Pilkington, whether it's an office, remodeling a job or a multi-million dollar building project.
And although Yuma is our home, we're not afraid to travel. We have worked on projects across the western half of Arizona, as well as El Centro and other communities in California.
Quality First
It's also impossible to succeed in our area without repeat business. Our customers come back time and again for one simple reason -- the uncompromising quality of our work. We hire only the best subcontractors and make sure things are done right the first time.
The Personal Touch
Although construction is our trade, we consider ourselves communicators by profession. The biggest mistake many builders make is not communicating regularly and openly with their customers. Being up front about what's going right -- or what's going wrong -- can solve most problems before they happen.
Our commitment is to build each relationship with respect, trust and honesty. This sets us apart from many builders and is one big reason why we've served so many fine organizations and companies.
We are proud of our customers, our workers and our success. But most of all, we are proud of the Pilkington name and will never do anything to jeopardize our reputation.
