Our History

Full Timeline

1975

Firm Founded

In 1975, ‘CHS Construction’ was founded and began building and renovating projects throughout northern Nevada. Dave Clark and Bernard ‘BJ’ Sullivan were both key team members of the firm and helped grow the firm as it worked to integrate into the growing northern Nevada construction market.

1981

Ownership Change & Rebrand

Dave and BJ made the bold move to purchase CHS Construction in 1981. Their vision for a different kind of construction company led them to rename it to Clark & Sullivan Constructors (C&S), marking the beginning of a legacy that would span decades. In an unprecedented marketing move that would become legendary in the local construction industry, they painted their entire fleet of work trucks a distinctive raspberry color. After a year under the intense Nevada sun, these trucks faded to an unmistakable pink hue. While this initially dismayed the superintendents who drove the trucks, it proved to be a brilliant strategy. The community often remarked, 'You guys must be really busy, because I see your pink trucks everywhere.' This unconventional choice became a symbol of the company's willingness to be forward thinkers.

1985

Upping the Ante

The mid-1980s marked a significant evolution in C&S’s capabilities as the company strategically expanded its project portfolio. The firm began taking on increasingly complex projects across public facilities, education, and commercial buildings. This diversification demonstrated the company's growing expertise and established C&S as a versatile contractor capable of handling multiple project types while maintaining the highest standards of quality and client satisfaction.

1994

Southern Nevada Expansion

Seeing massive growth in Southern Nevada, C&S opened an office in Las Vegas and began serving both public and private clients throughout the southern half of the state. In the late 2000s, in an effort to better serve our Nevada clients, C&S consolidated all project operations to the main office in Sparks.

1995

Adoption of Collaborative Delivery Methods

Recognizing the changing landscape of construction management, C&S pioneered the adoption of collaborative delivery methods in the region. The company developed expertise in Design-Build and Design-Assist approaches, setting new standards for project efficiency and client satisfaction. This forward-thinking approach allowed C&S to offer clients more flexible, cost-effective solutions while maintaining their commitment to quality construction and strong partnerships.

2001

Northern California Expansion

In a strategic move to put down roots in a state we were already working in, C&S established a California Division Office in northern California. This expansion represented more than just geographical growth – it was a testament to the company's strong reputation and proven track record. The new office allowed C&S to bring its collaborative approach and construction expertise to California's dynamic market while maintaining the same level of service and community commitment that made it successful in Nevada.

2004

Dave Clark Retires

In 2004, Co-Founder Dave Clark retired, leaving BJ Sullivan at the helm of the business. Dave left behind a legacy of service-oriented and relationship-driven leadership, which is still felt and exemplified today!

2014

Rebrand to Current Logo

The leadership team honored the company's innovative spirit by introducing a striking lime green color – a modern echo of the famous ‘raspberry’ of the past. This transition maintained the company's core values while bringing fresh energy and ideas to the organization and looking towards future growth. The name also made a slight change to the ‘Clark / Sullivan Construction’ (C/S) we know today.

2019

BJ Sullivan Retires

BJ Sullivan, the last remaining founder, retired in 2019, thus beginning a new chapter under fresh leadership under the management of Partners Kevin Stroupe, Jarrett Rosenau, Jerry Hogan and Ted Foor. This transition to long-standing team members ensured the company maintained its core values while bringing fresh energy and ideas to the organization.

2025

Delivery Methods

The greatest opportunities for innovation, quality, responsive scope and competitive pricing result when owners, users, designers, contractors and subcontractors all collaborate on one team. Collaboration can be found in all of our delivery methods.

Design-Build: By providing a single point of responsibility, C/S collaborates with all on the team to deliver quality, innovation, timely construction and the best possible value.
Construction Management At Risk (CMAR): We successfully manage the design, budget and schedule from preconstruction through final completion, turning conceptual plans into a complete and fully operational building that exceeds expectations while working within a guaranteed maximum price.
Lease-Leaseback: This creative contractual agreement is similar to CMAR. C/S provides both pre-construction and construction services with flexibility, financing options, and a single point of responsibility. We can provide exceptional value and timeliness working within strict design requirements and regulations.
Design-Assist: As a team contributor during pre-construction, C/S optimizes constructability, provides pricing alternatives, scheduling insights, logistics and more to enhance value.
Design-Bid-Build: While we don’t get to weigh in on this traditional delivery method, we still work collaboratively to ensure the team stays true to the project vision by facilitating partnering meetings. We also look for ways to add value to the project by working closely with subcontractors in quality control. The common thread running through the first four delivery methods is pre-construction services.
