COMPANY OVERVIEW
Wm. Blanchard Co. is a leader in building construction. The firm is the oldest builder in New Jersey, and an on-going family enterprise since 1860.
Its ability to compete and grow for six generations is an achievement in itself. It reflects Blanchard's continuing place in the forefront of its industry. Today, Wm Blanchard Co. approaches construction management with increased technical strengths, greater resources, and a solid commitment to fine work.
The secret of the company's success can be found in its rigorous commitment to high quality construction and on-time performance. These standards are the sound foundation upon which the firm is based. Today's projects require technical excellence and detailed scheduling. And these abilities are only acquired through hard work and long experience. Back in 1942, it was Blanchard who converted automobile plants into factories to produce fighter planes, and succeeded in that vital effort within a four month completion schedule.
Construction was a people business then, and it is now. Machinery and new technology are important - Blanchard is investing heavily in the technology that will take it well into the 21st century - but ultimately the decisions and skills of people make the difference between an ordinary job and an extraordinary piece of work.
At Blanchard this is achieved with the active participation of the principals directly in the projects. The leadership style at Blanchard is shown in their personal involvement in each job. It is a team effort, with project managers, craftsmen, engineers, superintendents, and home office people working together to achieve the very best results.
The list of clients for whom Blanchard has built ranges from Fortune 500 companies to hospitals to smaller enterprises. No matter what the project, every client benefits from Blanchard's dedication to constructing buildings that are worthy of its name.
