His ability to manage the planning, coordinate with subcontractors, and keep the pre-construction activities on schedule was truly impressive. Kevin consistently communicated effectively, addressing any concerns promptly and providing clear updates throughout the process. With his extensive field experience, Kevin was able to maneuver through early challenges with ease, ensuring that our project was set up for success. His transparency throughout the process was greatly appreciated, making me feel informed and confident as a client.

For over 35 years we have contracted with Shaffer Building Company on everything from a 1 hour repair to comprehensive million dollar construction projects. We have never been disappointed with their response, personnel, workmanship, schedules, and costs. This Team truly sets the bar far above any GC that has been on any project at my 3 campuses.

Design & Trade Partner Testimonials
Our team had the opportunity to partner with Pat and Kevin Shaffer on a 650,000 square foot medical center retrofit involving major HVAC and plumbing equipment replacements in a fully operational HCAI 1 facility. From day one, they demonstrated a full knowledge of the scope, understanding not only the technical requirements, but also the critical implications of executing this work in a live healthcare environment.
Over the course of the project, we successfully planned and executed hundreds of cutovers, many tied to essential infrastructure and patient-sensitive areas. Pat and Kevin’s leadership was a constant. They approached each phase with a deep sense of accountability, ensuring every trade was aligned, every shutdown was tightly coordinated, and every stakeholder had clarity on expectations. Their commitment to doing things right, no shortcuts, no finger-pointing, set the standard across the jobsite.
Thanks to their disciplined planning, strong communication, and absolute ownership of their role as GC, we were able to complete our work with zero disruption to the facility’s operations.
We’ve worked on a number of complex healthcare projects, and it's rare to find a general contractor that brings this level of ownership and operational awareness. We look forward to working with Shaffer Building Co. again on the next one.
- TIM McELWEE, SR. PROJECT MANAGER, PAN PACIFIC MECHANICAL
I had a great experience partnering with Kevin and Team in a unified owner-architect–builder teaming for the preconstruction and design planning efforts of a complex healthcare emergency dept expansion project. As a team we were committed to actively listening to the client and stakeholders to understand priorities and constraints. Ultimately building trust through active listening and teamwork, setting the foundation for cost-effective, flexible, and value-driven project outcomes. Look forward to future teaming opportunities!
