Fairchance Construction Company, established in 1880 as McCormick Lumber Company, stands as one of Pennsylvania's oldest contracting firms. Transitioning from a lumber supply business to Fairchance Lumber Company in 1916, it eventually adopted its current name in 1994 to better align with its wide-ranging construction services, including general contracting, design-build, property development, and construction management. With four generations of the Balling family at the helm, the company prides itself on its robust reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects, consistently on time and within budget.
The firm has cultivated extensive experience across various sectors including automotive, healthcare, hospitality, industrial manufacturing, and multi-family housing, with a portfolio spanning not only Pennsylvania but also regions in West Virginia, Ohio, and beyond. Notable projects include iconic buildings such as the Hilton Garden Inn and numerous healthcare facilities like the WVU Childcare Center and MedExpress Urgent Care.
Fairchance Construction Company is deeply committed to ensuring customer satisfaction, with a business philosophy centered around building lasting relationships and delivering exceptional results. This ethos is reflected in the loyalty of its clients who repeatedly return for their construction needs. The company's longstanding association as a dealer for Butler Manufacturing since 1966, recognized as the oldest Butler Builder in the area, underscores its dedication to quality construction solutions using the latest technologies. In combining traditional values with modern innovation, Fairchance Construction Co. continues to navigate the complexities of the construction industry, striving to meet its clients' ever-evolving needs.
