It’s Subcontractor Appreciation Month and our team sincerely values the relationships we’ve built with our subs. That’s why in September we've been celebrating the trade partners that make our projects possible! “Healthcare construction is some of the most rewarding and demanding work we do. Whether building a new clinic or retrofitting a radiology suite, success depends on our subcontractors’ deep understanding of what’s at stake. Pence’s partners help us navigate the challenges of working in active, occupied medical facilities where critical building systems like fire protection and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) must remain uninterrupted. They must also understand infection control guidelines and help us plan around patients and staff with constant communication and care. Healthcare construction is a specialty and we couldn’t do it without trusted partners who bring technical expertise, precision and collaboration to every project. They’re not just part of the process—they’re essential to the outcome.” – Jennifer, Project Executive At Pence, one of our core values is “We succeed together.” Our subcontractors’ dedication drives our shared success and we’re grateful for the behind-the-scenes brilliance they bring to every healthcare project—this month and throughout the year! #buildingspaceforpeopletoflourish #construction #constructionindustry #contractor #driventoconstantlyimprove #generalcontractor #pencecontractors #respect #subcontractors #subcontractorappreciationmonth #thankful #tradepartners #weforgerelationshipswithmutualrespect #wesucceedtogether A few of the many fantastic trade partners we’ve proudly worked alongside recently include: · American Iron Welding & Repair · Arctic Sheet Metal · Basic Fire Protection, Inc. · Carlson Roofing Company Inc · CASH'S DRAPERY · Christenson Electric · DON FRANK FLOORS INC · Floor Solutions LLC · Hammerquist HVAC & Plumbing · Harlen’s Drywall · Kipco Construction · Kraft Masonry, Inc. · MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions · MCDONALD & WETLE ROOFING, INC. · Mid-Valley Commercial Construction, Inc. · NessCampbell Crane + Rigging · NORTHSIDE ELECTRIC INC · Omlid & Swinney Fire Protection · Oregon Commercial Painters · Parker Concrete Inc · Pence/Kelly Concrete, LLC · Red Hawk Fire Protection · River City Glass, Inc · SALEM WOOD PRODUCTS, INC. · Smith Roofing & Sheet Metal · SteelFab, Inc. · The Harver Company · Weitman Excavation

On 9/15, the Molalla community gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of its new Molalla River Middle School (MRMS)! Led by Superintendent Tony Mann and Principal Randy Dalton, the ceremony brought staff and students together with School Board officials, the PAC and volunteers who worked tirelessly to pass the May 2024 bond, the Bond Oversight Committee, and project partners Opsis Architecture and Otak CPM. Thanks to everyone who attended. This milestone marks the start of a long-awaited and much-needed replacement for the 70-year-old middle school, ensuring a modern learning environment to serve future generations. Pence is honored to be the district’s partner on this important project, which will open its doors in fall 2027. Congratulations to the Molalla River School District! We look forward to watching the new campus become a source of pride for students as it takes shape, and inspire learning and growth for decades to come. #bondproject #buildingforthefuture #buildingoregonschools #buildingspaceforpeopletoflourish #buildingspaceformolallatoflourish #buildingspaceforstudentstoflourish #communitygrowth #construction #education #excellencecharactercommunity #gowolverines #groundbreaking #groundupconstruction #growingexceptionalfutures #k12schools #molallaoregon #molallarivermiddleschool #molallariverschooldistrict #molallariverschools #oregonschools #pencecontractors #penceproud #schools #wesucceedtogether

It’s Subcontractor Appreciation Month and our team sincerely values the relationships we’ve built with our subs. That’s why in September we're celebrating the trade partners that make our projects possible! “Who we are as a GC is defined by the people we work with—and a majority of those people are our subcontractors. They’re the expert trade partners who help us get projects off the ground by securing materials early, and our partners also help us cross the finish line safely and on time. Our success largely depends on their foresight, expertise and dedication. That’s why we’re committed to continuously improving our pool of subcontractors—not just through strong relationships, but by supporting third-party prequalification efforts and providing opportunities for disadvantaged subcontractors. At the end of the day, we don’t just build schools and public facilities, we build community. And that starts with choosing the right partners, creating opportunities and supporting one another throughout the entire construction process.” – David, Project Executive At Pence, one of our core values is “We succeed together.” Our subcontractors’ dedication drives our shared success and we’re proud to recognize the people who help us build stronger communities—this month and throughout the year! #buildingspaceforpeopletoflourish #construction #constructionindustry #contractor #driventoconstantlyimprove #generalcontractor #pencecontractors #respect #subcontractors #subcontractorappreciationmonth #thankful #tradepartners #weforgerelationshipswithmutualrespect #wesucceedtogether A few of the many fantastic trade partners we’ve proudly worked alongside recently on our K-12 school projects include: · ABC Roofing Co.

It’s Subcontractor Appreciation Month and our team sincerely values the relationships we’ve built with our subs. That’s why in September we're celebrating the trade partners that make our projects possible!. “As contractors, we navigate challenges daily—whether they come in the form of design, budget, tariffs, stakeholders, subcontractors, or at times even ourselves. After several years of navigating headwinds, it has been energizing to witness such a mature and visionary response from our subcontractors. In 2025, I noticed more people referring to “Subcontractors” as “Trade Partners.” That may sound like a small shift, but I believe this speaks volumes about the evolving relationships within our construction community. True partners recognize that our successes and failures are shared and that we all rise or fall together. This year has been a turning point. Instead of dwelling on the past, our Trade Partners are investing in the present, looking toward the future and putting people first. I’m proud of the resilience, collaboration and shared commitment that define our trade community.” – Tristan, Project Executive At Pence, one of our core values is “We succeed together.” Our subcontractors’ dedication drives our shared success and we’re so grateful they’re part of our team—this month and throughout the year! #buildingspaceforpeopletoflourish #construction #constructionindustry #contractor #driventoconstantlyimprove #generalcontractor #pencecontractors #respect #subcontractors #subcontractorappreciationmonth #thankful #tradepartners #weforgerelationshipswithmutualrespect #wesucceedtogether A few of the many fantastic trade partners we’ve proudly worked alongside recently include: · Anderson Roofing Company · COLUMBIA DRYWALL SYSTEMS, Inc.

Thanks to the Molalla River Middle School community members who stopped by our booth in the library at Back-to-School night this week! Our team and partners at Opsis Architecture enjoyed sharing the renderings, floor plans and virtual flythrough video of the new school. We had fun talking with families and parents, especially those of incoming 6th graders who will enter 8th grade when the future campus is complete. They will be among the first students to attend middle school in the modern facility once it’s finished. There were also lots of younger children in attendance who will be part of this inaugural group as 6th or 7th graders. It was heartwarming to see everyone as excited as we are for this much-needed school project that will provide exceptional future opportunities for Molalla students!

Shoutout to Daniel Ramos, Assistant Superintendent, and the team that stepped up in a major way when one of our health care clients reached out for help with an unforeseen issue at a busy facility! The situation required immediate attention over the weekend and, without hesitation, Ramos rounded up a crew of dedicated employees who sacrificed their time and showed up to tackle the challenge. A big thanks also goes out to Brandon Martinez, Josh Aguilar, Sabas Gonzalez, Trent Anderson, Will Lang and Wyatt Kesler for the exceptional effort giving of yourselves to fulfill our purpose. On a fast-track timeline, they collaborated and coordinated with multiple partners to complete the task and meet the Monday morning deadline. Pence is honored to have leaders like this working with and representing us! What a great testament to the relationship and trust these guys have built by serving our client well. We sincerely appreciate your professionalism, strong work ethic and willingness to assist in a time of need. – Tim & Jennifer #employeeprops #pencecontractors #pencepeople #penceproud #wegiveofourselvestofulfillourpurpose #wesucceedtogether
