At COLAS, we are raising the standard for quality construction with a focus on sustainability, equity, and access to opportunity; we build to inspire community. We prioritize people over profits, and we're proud to be a leader in the construction industry for commercial real estate. Our story began in 1997 in Portland, a city we are proud to call home and build for, reshaping the landscape to serve the community. As an American general contracting firm founded by Hermann Colas, Jr., a scholar and U.S. Veteran with proud Haitian roots, we remain true to our values. We build with excellence, sustainability, and the future in mind while dedicating resources to lift others as we climb. Our dedication to the construction industry was not inspired by winning awards, however, COLAS is honored to be among Oregon's Most Admired Companies for four consecutive years (2018-2021). Colas Construction is the only construction firm to win top honors in safety with the Outstanding Rose and the Grand Rose Awards in two consecutive years in 2020 and 2021. In addition, COLAS is the proud recipient of the ROSE Safety Award and the PRIDE Safety Award over multiple years. We are proud to have achieved the highest level of recognition for safety and value being a leader in the commercial construction industry.
