In 2009 Wespac builds on diversification including healthcare, religious and Native American market sectors. Flagstaff crews stay busy servicing the reservation projects as well as completing Wespac\'s first shell hotel, The Flagstaff Courtyard Marriott. The Marriott goes on to win AZRE RED Award Honorable Mention.

A sustainable retrofit was completed on the Wespac office, complete with solar panels (anticipation of 30% cost savings), motion detection lighting and dual-flush toilets.

Founder John Largay opens up The Compound Grill, an 8,700 SF live music venue, inspired by the success of The McDowell Mountain Music Festival.

Wespac starts the year off completing Triology at Woodlands, CA HOA Center. The project goes on to become a finalist in the National Association of Home Builders Best Clubhouse at an Active Adult Community. While work finishes up in California, the home office introduces \"Building is our Passion\" into daily marketing materials, a true representation of how employees feel about constructing!

The McDowell Mountain Music Festival has its best attendance to date and proudly donates $130,000 ($65,000 respectively) to two local charities: Phoenix Day and Boys Hope Girls Hope.

Work in Northern Arizona continues to prosper and prompts permanent headquarters off of Humphrey\'s Street in downtown Flagstaff. The NAZ Division gains notoriety with a Gold Nugget Grand Award - Best Public/Private Recreational Use Facility for the Pine Canyon Clubhouse.

Wespac also takes the second spot in hospitality awards winning the Gold Nugget Merit Award - Best Public/Private Recreational Use Facility for the Hacienda at Blackstone, a 36,000 SF private clubhouse located in the master- planned community of Vistancia.

Business with repeat clients continues to be the core of Wespac\'s success. One of the most prominent projects in history, Pinnacle at Kierland Phase IV, is the fourth with local developer. The six-story, 206,676 SF, Class \'A\' spec building is Wespac\'s largest office to date.

In 2006, Wespac celebrates sustainable building completing the first LEED building at ASU - Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building II (LEED Silver) and also the first City of Phoenix LEED Gold Certification; The Glenrosa Service Center. Both projects go on to win numerous awards including: Southwest Contractor\'s Best Of - Green Building, ASU ISTB II.

Wespac\'s Northern Arizona Division wraps up several projects in Pine Canyon: a 36,000+ SF clubhouse, guardhouse and custom home.

Wespac again ranks in the Top 50 Private Companies in Arizona for 2006 by Arizona Corporate Excellence (ACE) Awards.

Wespac breaks ground on the Residences on Main, a six-story luxury condominium project and Wespac\'s FIRST tower crane project. Wespac is also named 24 of Top 50 Private Companies in Arizona for 2005 by Arizona Corporate Excellence (ACE) and receives Business Journal\'s 2005 Best Places to Work for mid-sized firms in the Valley. These awards are largely due to Wespac\'s passionate support of the local community and employee programs. In 2005, Wespac spent $70,000 on continued education for employees, offers fully paid health insurance for employees AND families, actively participates in 28 industry-related associations and continues to promote the McDowell Mountain Music Festival, which promotes the arts and raises money for local charities.

In 2004, Wespac sponsors the first annual McDowell Mountain Music Festival at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona. Drawing more than 6,000 people in its first year, the festival celebrates music as an art and benefits two local non- profit agencies: Arizona Quest for Kids and Phoenix Day. Winning for a third time, Wespac is named NAIOP\'s General Contractor of the Year.

Wespac surpasses $100 million in revenues. In 2003, Wespac contracts our largest project to date, Vistancia, with Shea Homes and SunBelt Holdings. Vistancia is a multiple-phased master-planned community, with the first phase alone valued at $35 million. That same year, Wespac is awarded the Gold Nugget Award of Merit for The Hideaway in California.

In 2002, Wespac contracts its first out-of-state project, The Hideaway, a $3 million golf clubhouse in La Quinta, California. Wespac also wins a Gold Nugget Grand Award for We-Ko-Pa Golf Clubhouse, as well as two Award of Merits and two Best of 2002 Awards from Southwest Contractor Magazine. The Red & Alva foundation is also established to provide grants to non-profit entities that benefit our community through cultural, environmental, arts, family and educational programs.

For a second time, Wespac is selected General Contractor of the Year by NAIOP. We form our first community outreach committee that coordinates Wespac\'s first community work project, the Chrysalis Shelter in Scottsdale. Employees volunteer to coordinate construction improvements outside and within the shelter for abused women and children. That same year, during the Holidays, Wespac employees donate more than $2,500 in clothing, food, toys and living items to all the residents of the Chrysalis Shelter. Also in 2001, Wespac Communites is incorporated to manage the construction of multi-family projects such as Artisan Lofts on Osborn.

In 2000, Wespac continues to be recognized by industry peers and associations for our excellence in construction. The Arizona Masonry Guild (AMG) awards The Flinn Foundation, a $3.6 million, 20,515-sq.-ft. design-build office building with The Orcutt/Winslow Partnership, an award of merit for masonry excellence. That same year, The Flinn Foundation garners the Valley Forward Envirnomental Excellence Award for its innovation in Green construction.

Wespac surpasses $50 million in revenues. We no longer fit within the constraints of the 16th Street office. Despite knocking down walls, doubling up people in offices and expanding to the second floor, we still don\'t have enough room. We decide to build our own office. In June the building is complete and we move into our new home at 26th Street and Northern. In 1999, Wespac wins Contractor of the Year from the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) as well as a Gold Nugget Award of Merit for Kierland Office Park and Jay Coffey, our current General Superintendent, is named the Superintendent of the Year by the American Subcontractor\'s Association (ASA.) In 1999, Wespac Residential is also incorporated.

In 1998 Wespac goes high-tech with our field superintendents being supplied with laptops. In addition, two of Wespac\'s projects are honored with awards. Sunridge Canyon Golf Resort is awarded the Gold Nugget Award of Merit for design excellence and the Tempe Fire Station is awarded the City of Tempe Beautification Award for excellence in design and contribution to the community.

As Wespac continues to grow, we nurtured relationships, built quality projects and thrived on new challenges. In 1997, Wespac was contracted by Furst Properties to build Kierland Office Park, a two building, two-story office complex located within the Kierland master-planned community. Kierland Office Park marked a number of firsts for Wespac. Our first multi-story project, our first project over $5 million and our first project to include a project engineer.

With the construction of a second golf clubhouse underway, Sedona Golf Club (which is also our first out-of-town project), Wespac hosts our first annual golf tournament. Held at Sunridge Canyon Golf Club in order to showcase our first golf clubhouse, Wespac\'s golf tournament is attended by all those that have contributed to our success-- owners, developers, brokers, architects and subcontractors. 1996 also marks our first residential project, a 7,000- sq.-ft custom home in Scottsdale, and our first company truck, given to our first service manager.

In 1995 Wespac surpasses $10 million in annual revenues. To celebrate our success we hold our first annual Pighunt. The event, held at John Largay\'s home, is a wild success! That same year, Wespac is awarded our first golf clubhouse, Sunridge Canyon Golf Club. Located in Fountain Hills, this $1.9 million, 21,360-sq.-ft. clubhouse is the first of many golf and hospitality projects Wespac will build.

With annual revenues nearing $10 million, Wespac began to outgrow the 1,200 sq. ft. office at 44th Street. The decision was made to move our office to 16th Street and Northern. In addition, Jay Coffey, a superintendent at the time, finally received his first company cellular phone. Prior to having a personal cell phone, Jay used local pay phones to run his job, cashing in rolls of quarters with each pay check. Jay finally got to throw away all that loose change and experienced the freedom of the Motorolla BRICK phone.

After two years and more than 100 tenant improvements, Wespac was contracted to build our first ground-up project, American Hardwoods. Totaling 30,000 sq. ft., the tilt-panel project brought in our highest contract to date almost $600,000!

During the formative years of Wespac, 100% of our business was derived from tenant improvements. During this time we thrived on the challenge of building more than just tenant build-outs. We focused on building relationships. Clients became friends and the company continued to grow.

Founded by current owner and president, John Largay, Wespac Construction opened for business in June 1991 while the land development market in Phoenix was at its lowest. Wespac concentrated on establishing a well- respected reputation as a quality general contractor, setting the foundation to the way we do business to this day. It is our enthusiasm for building and our ability to tackle any challenge that makes us so successful. Afterall, enthusiasm will find solutions when none are apparent, and it will achieve success where none is thought possible.
