Company Description:
In 1906, John Burns started the company's first construction project for Middlewest Utilities Company, a predecessor of today's utility companies. He was a man of foresight and vision. In the early nineteen hundreds, utility companies were using full-time pick and shovel crews to handle their installation and repair work. This system proved inadequate. The utility companies were unable to mobilize crews large enough to handle the added burden of emergency work. Like Henry Ford and other men in this era of emerging progress, John Burns realized the probability of a rapidly-expanding population and seized the opportunity to profit by providing a better service. He continued to demonstrate his sound business judgment by building John Burns Construction Company through the depression years without financial falter.
John Burns' idea and his company grew under the leadership of his nephew, John F. O'Malley into the 1960's. To this day, generations of the O'Malley family own and remain an integral part of running the business.
Expansion is an almost constant process with John Burns Construction Company, enabling the company to keep pace with the changing demands that require new technology and more exacting quality standards in the field. Being in the industry for over a century, John Burns Construction Company is an undisputed leader in underground construction and in the field of general contracting. The pioneers in the specialized field of underground construction used their expertise in assessing their clients' needs and providing them with competent, on time service to satisfy the general contracting market.
A network of strategically located offices throughout the country gives John Burns Construction Company the ability to handle multiple concurrent jobs without slowdowns or interruptions. Anywhere in the country where construction is to be done, consider John Burns Construction Company.
