Denver-based general contractor Shaw Construction is coming off the biggest year in its 58-year history. Founded by George Shaw in 1962, the firm cut its teeth on projects in Colorado’s mountain towns, building a reputation for multifamily, commercial, municipal and education facilities, along with high-end custom homes.
Today, the midsize builder’s 250 employees are spread across offices in Denver and Grand Junction, Colo., Jackson, Wyo., and Salt Lake City. Shaw has methodically helped to shape the faces of Telluride, Aspen, Vail and Jackson Hole, and its diverse project portfolio includes a balance of multimillion-dollar homes, community-focused work and affordable housing.
