Incorporated December 1993

Construction Partnership, Inc. is a labor-management association representing area construction industry contractors and union members working together for you, the construction user, in southern Minnesota.

Both labor and management members are your neighbors and relatives skilled in construction crafts and able to tackle the most challenging and difficult construction projects.

Benefits of Union Construction Today

Readily available workforce comprised of area residents whose compensation includes basic health and welfare and pension benefits.
Cooperation between contractors and workers in meeting the timetable and budget of the construction user.
Well-trained, highly skilled, OSHA certified crafts men and women working on your project.
Reduced workers compensation rates as the result of a safe union work environment.
Quality work, including service after completion of the project, provided by workers and contractors with long term loyalty and dedication to the construction industry.

"Construction Partnership has provided the forum for labor and management to discuss areas of common interests and goals as well as providing an opportunity to meet one on one with all the business managers. Keeping a project running smoothly involves everyone, both on and off site. Knowing the business managers on a first name basis has helped resolve conflicts before they affect the job site. As noted at a recent school board meeting, the school district is pleased with the progress and quality of the project."

This high skill level is due to years of formal apprenticeship training and delivers a product of superior quality. This expertise has been proven to be more efficient, which helps deliver projects on time.

"No problems presented themselves on any of the Rochester projects. In fact, there were hardly any hitches. The projects were completed on time or ahead of schedule and on budget."

Steven Kvenvold
City Administrator
Rochester

"From the bid process, through groundbreaking, and from our topping off ceremony in mid-December to the move in February, all aspects of the SELCO (Southeastern Libraries Cooperating) construction project were handled with the utmost professionalism. As an added bonus, the project came in on time, despite a tight construction schedule, and under budget. As you walk the halls, the quality of the craftsmanship is evident and after nearly a year of ownership, there haven't been any post construction complications. As a first timer to the world of library construction, I would certainly undertake another project with the construction partners that were involved in building the SELCO office."

Union-trained workers are the most efficient at their trade and are also the safest workers because from day one they are taught safe working habits. Safer workers mean lower workers' compensation insurance, which lowers the cost to the owner and keeps the project on budget.

"We have been extremely pleased during our relationship with Construction Partnership. Our Northrup Building renovation project was not only completed on time but the quality of the work was spectacular."

Dr. Jack Noennig
Superintendent
Rochester Public Schools

As an owner, developer, or builder, you want quality work for a competitive price. Contractors want increased market share and profits, while union workers want secure jobs with good benefits. At Construction Partnership, Inc. we work with owners, contractors and union workers to form a partnership so that each can achieve their objectives by working together through a "Partnership Agreement."

These partnership agreements have been extremely successful in surrounding areas because they bring the best players to the table. In the Partnership Agreement, owners agree to use union contractors and workers who maintain the highest quality construction possible

"As a National Construction Manager, our firm works with contractors and trades people all over the USA. I can tell you that nowhere in this country have we experienced a workforce capable of producing this level of quality workmanship in a safe manner, day in and day out, until we came to Rochester".

Stephen Owen
V.P. of Operations
Centex Rodgers, Inc.

The union contractors and workers are committed to these Partnership Agreements. That's why disputes on the job are settled immediately and strikes can't happen due to the commitment to this agreement.

Construction Partnership, Inc. and its members are committed to the construction of high quality buildings that are completed on time and within budget.

" On behalf of the SEMNBCTC, I would like to thank Construction Partnership for their commitment to the construction industry. When groups of owners, developers, cities and counties come together with general contractors and sub-contractors prior to construction, projects come together seamlessly. The team approach works. In this new century with costs, deadlines and community issues so prevalent, the coming together of all parties is essential." A JOB WELL DONE!
