We have offices in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Lafayette, and South Bend, IN; Detroit and Kalamazoo, MI; Chicago, IL and Toledo, OH. We have worked in over 40 states and six foreign countries and are geared to travel when the opportunity presents itself. We are currently the largest contractor of our type in Indiana and ranked the third largest specialty contractor in the United States. We specialize in the full range of new and retrofit construction for industrial, commercial, institutional, food processing, medical, commercial and bio-fuel projects. The scope of our work includes the "self-performance" of eight broad disciplines including Mechanical, Process, Refrigeration, Electrical, Process Controls, Water and Waste Treatment, Fire Protection and Temperature Controls.

 

We complete approximately $270 million total volume per year, including projects from $500 to $50 million. Nearly 70% of our work is the Design/Build, negotiated type on a "single-source," turnkey basis. Our organization of approximately 1,500 people is complete in every detail including the professional engineering and technical expertise as well as the solid construction experience and support personnel to "fast-track" projects utilizing the highest skilled work force in our industry. Our in-house MIS and CADD systems are the most advanced in the industry and help us to better engineer, estimate, and project manage 2,000 projects per year. Our advanced education and training programs assure our TQM process remains one of continuous improvement. We also offer real time simulation of processes, material handling and facilities as part of our "self-performed" design/build services. Our 3D Modeling has proven successful in elevating the levels of prefabricated modular construction to reduce cost and schedule. Shambaugh & Son has been recognized nationally for our excellence via our ISO 9001:2000 Certification. Our top industry awards for innovation, successful projects, productivity, quality, safety, et al can be viewed on our Awards page. Our commitment to our customers via our Customer P.R.I.D.E.
