The Pickard organization today embodies the best talent in architectural, engineering and contracting. The company is built on the careers of its principals and rests on the shoulders of the original Pickard Construction, founded by David Pickard, Sr. more than 50 years ago.

We wish we could introduce you to every Pickard employee. However, by introducing our people at the top, you’ll soon see that the caliber of the Pickard organization is a result of the standards and professionalism of those managing the company. Each principal has practiced more than 20 years, some more than 40 years.
