Celebrating 25 years as one of Nevada’s premier general contracting firms, Burke & Associates has carved a niche through consistency, stability, and award-winning construction.
During this period of economic uncertainty, Burke continues to provide leadership and stability in the marketplace. Burke’s financial stability is reflected in their substantial bond and insurance capabilities and holds ‘unlimited’ building license classifications, which is of vital importance to the diverse development community they build for.
Throughout the years, the company has garnered numerous awards and accolades, including NAIOP’s prestigious General Contractor of the Year Award and the AGC / SIR Contractor of the Year Award. Most recently, Burke was a recipient of multiple Merit Awards for their work on Cashman Equipment Company’s Corporate Headquarters, the largest LEED gold certified industrial project in the state of Nevada.
But, according to Senior Vice President Tony Dazzio, none of these acknowledgements mean as much as the satisfaction of a job well done and knowing they have met or exceeded the expectations of their clients.
“There are many things that make this company great, but it all starts with one thing; and it’s the most important thing; the people at Burke & Associates,” says Dazzio. “Burke & Associates is comprised of a group of dedicated professionals that are committed to building outstanding projects that exceed customer expectations. If you want to build a superior construction firm and meet the demands of an ever changing market, you have to hire and support good people. I think a significant difference here is that when we recruit we’re not just filling a position, we’re hiring people. We’re looking at those who are looking to grow, contribute, and benefit the organization.”
One example of Burke’s response to an ever changing market can be seen in its commitment to Green Building technology. Significantly, Burke has put its money where its mouth is by embracing LEED Certified building practices by sending their employees for LEED training long before other companies started to do so, with eight employees becoming LEED AP’s in 2008. They are committed to being the pre-eminent Green Building General Contractor in the State of Nevada.
Over the years Burke & Associates has continually diversified its portfolio and constructs projects in several different market segments; including public works, gaming, retail, office and industrial; in the process surpassing the expectations of their very satisfied client base.
The secret to this success, according to Dazzio, is the caliber of people who make up the Burke & Associates team. It’s a reciprocal alliance, one in which the principals stay involved in the day-to-day process; members of the team are continually trained, offered support, and encouraged to offer up their best work. This in turn leads to the consistency and stability for which Burke & Associates is known.
“This is how we fulfill our mission,” says Dazzio, “delivering on the promise we’ve made to our clients is something we take very seriously.”
Some of the firm’s clients include Cashman Equipment Company, Marnell Corrao, Clark County School District, El Cortez Gaming Group, MGM/Mirage, Harrah’s Entertainment and Peccole Nevada.
