GLEAVE CONSTRUCTION
Contact:
Seth Gleave, Vice President 
Web site/Phone Number: www.gleaveconstruction.com, (260) 744-2757
A Chamber member since: January 28, 2010

If you had 30 seconds to communicate to someone what you do, what would you say?
We are a residential, commercial, and industrial fence company. We do have our general contractor’s license, and we’re the contractor you call when you don’t know who else to call.

What is one thing that sets you apart from all others?
The main thing is that there are no companies similar to us. We work really well in hard situations because we are so diverse with the fencing, construction, concrete, etc. There’s no aspect of any project that we can’t handle ourselves.

Who are you looking to connect with through your Chamber membership?
Other businesses, factories - anyone who needs a quality product at a reasonable price.

What is your #1 goal for 2010?
With the way the economy is, our main goal is to survive the recession. But since we have 40 years of experience and since the people that work for us have been with us for substantial amounts of time, we feel that we aren’t just a Fort Wayne company - we’re a Fort Wayne family that strives to be here in the future working on projects that everyone in Fort Wayne will know about.


PROJECT DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT, INC.

Contact:
Gerry Bollman, Senior Project Engineer
Web site/Phone Number:
www.pdm-i.com, (260) 494-3480
A Chamber member since: March 31, 2010

If you had 30 seconds to communicate to someone what you do, what would you say?
We are an engineering and facility design firm that works with clients to plan, design, and implement those designs. We serve commercial, industrial, and church markets, working with them early on in the planning phase to review the building codes and their needs so at the end of the project the facility works for them both functionally and aesthetically.

What is one thing that sets you apart from all others? Our dedication to the design build methodology of delivering a project and our focus on the planning function to assure that the client understands what he is getting before the hole is dug and the concrete is placed.

Who are you looking to connect with through your Chamber membership?
At this point, we are looking to connect with two sources: design build contractors, and clients that are looking to buy existing facilities and do a renovation of those facilities due to the current building code limitations.

What is your #1 goal for 2010?

To teach clients the value of design build and then be able to work with them on that methodology.
