Pinkard Construction Joins Catamount Constructors to Expand National Reach and Local Expertise

Denver-based Pinkard Construction has announced its acquisition by Catamount Constructors, a national employee-owned construction management firm. This partnership merges Pinkard’s 60-year history and local market expertise in Colorado with Catamount’s national platform and resources. For the commercial real estate sector, the move signals a consolidation of construction services across key asset classes including multifamily, office, and healthcare, while providing a broader national reach for Pinkard's existing client base.

Under the new agreement, Pinkard Construction becomes a Catamount Constructors company, integrating its deep Denver-market roots with Catamount’s national employee-owned platform. The merger allows Pinkard to maintain its local leadership and relationships while gaining access to the expanded resources of a firm ranked in the Engineering News Record’s Top 400 National Contractors for 18 consecutive years. James Benning, CEO of Catamount, emphasized that the partnership is an investment in Pinkard’s people, who will now become employee-owners within the combined organization.

A significant component of the deal is the inclusion of Pinkard Frameworks, an in-house wood framing division that allows the combined entity to self-perform framing on projects. This capability is expected to modernize the wood framing process for developers and general contractors across the Colorado Front Range by providing faster timelines and more predictable outcomes. Tony Burke, President of Pinkard, noted that the transition enables the firm to tackle more complex projects and serve clients nationwide without losing the identity the company has built since its founding in 1962.

The combined portfolio covers a wide array of commercial real estate sectors, including affordable housing, senior living, industrial, and build-to-rent developments. Catamount, which maintains offices in Atlanta, Denver, San Antonio, and Tampa, brings 29 years of experience in construction management and sustainable building. Tom Alford, Catamount’s Chief Operating Officer and a former Pinkard executive, highlighted that the synergy between Pinkard’s local tenure and Catamount’s national scale creates a powerhouse capable of supporting owners and developers through increasingly complex market conditions.
