Growth leadership Saunders Construction has announced leadership changes with Justin Cooper promoted to President & CEO and Ryan Balakas to Senior Vice President, signaling a growth-focused strategy and potential for expanded enterprise deals and long-term partnerships.

Strategic expansions The consolidation of Heath Construction into Saunders underpins a regional expansion across Northern Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, presenting cross-sell opportunities to clients in healthcare, education, and municipal sectors on larger, integrated project scopes.

Healthcare expansion Recent and ongoing hospital projects and lab/icu expansions (for AdventHealth and other healthcare facilities) indicate strong demand in hospital construction and cardiovascular/upgraded facilities, suggesting target accounts in regional health systems and specialty clinics.

Public and transit wins Collaborations with Roaring Fork Transportation Authority and other public sector clients highlight a track record in design-build and sustainable infrastructure, offering a pathway to pursue additional transit, maintenance facility, and municipal projects.

Digital and ecosystems A diverse tech stack including AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, Trimble, and Unanet shows readiness for data-driven project delivery and integrated operations, enabling sales pitches around BIM-enabled construction, efficiency improvements, and cloud-based project management.
