P.J. Hoerr, Inc.

P.J. Hoerr stands as a premier general contractor, construction manager, and design-builder.  Founded in 1914 by Philipp J. Hoerr as a concrete construction company, our stamp can still be seen on many driveways and sidewalks.  In 1957 P.J. Hoerr was incorporated and transitioned into general commercial construction.  Now into our 108th year of operation, P.J. Hoerr has become a diverse, multi-office commercial builder performing approximately $130 million of work annually.

P.J. Hoerr is privately owned by the executive team of Paul Bright serving as CEO, Kirk Anderson as President, and Scott Rinkenberger as Vice President.  The leadership team is rounded out with Colin Logue as Vice President of Bloomington/Normal Operations, John Sutherland as Vice President of Strategic Development and Nick Hart as Vice President of Operations. This team continues to lead the company based on the strong Christian values of its founder and past leadership.

What makes P.J. Hoerr different than other contractors is the large amount of pre-construction planning and design-build work that we perform.  The vast majority of our work is contracted in this manner.  We pride ourselves on being team players and we are very willing and able to take responsibility for both the design and construction on our projects.  Our staff currently includes a licensed architect and a licensed structural engineer.  We also know that cost is always an issue in construction, so P.J. Hoerr will always pursue contracts on a hard-bid basis.  We believe this “keeps our pencils sharp” and maintains our knowledge of current market costs.

P.J. Hoerr self-performs approximately $30 million of carpentry, laborer, steel erection, and concrete work each year.  As opposed to some purely “briefcase” contractors and construction managers.  P.J. Hoerr knows the “nuts and bolts” of building construction.

In our relentless efforts to maintain a high-quality standard while reducing completion time to a minimum, we have created three other affiliated companies that work with us to achieve these ends.  These firms, Summit Masonry and Stone Works, Benchmark Cabinets and Millwork, and VanBuskirk Steel provide materials and craftsmanship during critical portions of the construction process.  Depending on the type of project, these companies will work directly for P.J. Hoerr or will supply independent bids and compete as an independent subcontractor.

Our P.J. Hoerr team of over 150 full-time employees stands ready to develop creative ways to help you design, manage, and build your next construction project.  Our philosophy of teamwork and our unwavering commitment to Philipp J. Hoerr’s early ideals of hard work and quality guide us to our ultimate goal… an enthusiastic, long-term, and delighted client.
