2009 General Contractor of the Year--Sundt Construction Leads Path to Construction Industry's Future

摘要

"Dare to Challenge, Dare to Change" was the theme chosen by J. Doug Pruitt during his inauguration as incoming AGC president earlier this year. That also could be the battle cry for Sundt Construction Inc., the Tempe-based general contracting firm Pruitt leads as chairman and CEO. The 119-year old firm has continually adapted and diversified in response to the hurdles it faces, including the current recession. "If we were Sundt Retail, life wouldn't be pretty right now," Pruitt says. "If we were Sundt Housing, life would be ugly. But we are into heavy highway, bridges, light rail, industrial, water treatment, mining, power, buildings of various types, utilities. It's the diversity of market segments that we serve that is keeping our backlog up."
