What makes Bryan Construction stand apart from its competition?
“I think it’s the fact that we consistently try to improve our game in providing that customer service, in honesty and integrity. Companies don’t want to just negotiate a job; they are looking for a partner. The commercial construction company becomes that partner. We try to put ourselves in their shoes, in their seats. By doing that, we provide that value. At the end of the day, the product will probably look the same from one contractor to the next. It’s about the journey, the process getting to that ribbon-cutting stage and the follow-up after the project has been built. We’re not the largest construction company in town, and that pushes us to work harder.”

What makes your business stand out from all the others?
“We are a unique company in that very few people in the region have our capabilities. We can build and design large and complex equipment in diversified areas. We’re currently supporting a large energy project in France and just finished building structures for large telescopes in Mexico. We are also working on a specialized project, shipping a machine that reconditions the inside of nuclear reactor vessels. It’s the biggest single thing we’ve built, and we also do small projects. Colorado Springs is a unique area, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of the community. It’s a great place to do business.”
