He eventually settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1933, the young entrepreneur founded Beckering Construction Company. From the beginning, Earl established a reputation for strong work ethics, personal service, quality craftsmanship and a hands-on management approach. In honor of Earl Sr.’s legacy, these qualities continue to be the trademark of our company. In 1962, under the leadership of Beckering’s son, Earl Jr., the company name was changed to Pioneer Construction to reflect the innovative attitude and expanding services of the rapidly growing firm. In 1971, Earl’s son, Tom, took the reins of the company. Under his leadership, Pioneer Construction expanded to become one of the largest full-service construction companies in the mid-west. Now in the fourth generation of family ownership, Tom’s son-in-law, Tim Schowalter, has positioned the company as a recognized leader in sustainable building while maintaining our heritage of quality construction delivered on-time and in-budget. VISION & MISSION Our Mission is TO BUILD. TO BUILD quality construction projects and finish them on time and on budget, TO BUILD with skill and craftsmanship, TO BUILD with passion, TO BUILD with respect, TO BUILD sustainably, TO BUILD safely, and TO BUILD profitably. At Pioneer, we believe that being a true builder is critical to our success. It is in the spirit of this longstanding philosophy that we focus on self-performance of key trades to drive project outcomes. This approach insures that our people can expertly control the schedule, quality, safety, and cost on every project. Continuously investing in our people, equipment, and new technology keeps us fresh and motivated as a company. Pioneer is setting the benchmark of what it means to be a true builder. Ultimately, it’s about people and our ability to get things done right. We strive to deliver the very best to our clients with an upbeat and professional attitude every step of the way. Our goal is to be the best. We measure our success in many ways, most notably by our percentage of repeat customers.
