Jack Gore, President, Construction
PIRHL’s construction arm is led by Jack, who has over 30 years of experience with residential, commercial, retail, medical and institutional construction. He coordinates the design development process between the architect, structural, civil and MEP engineers, negotiates and buys out all subcontracts, and manages the on site superintendents who coordinate the construction of each job.
Jack’s commercial construction experience and his work as an owner’s representative, enable him to challenge traditional affordable residential construction assumptions. This valuable perspective facilitates more time-efficient construction techniques, longer-term product durability, living space design improvements, enhanced façade aesthetics and reduced long term maintenance issues.
For 21 years, prior to joining PIRHL, Jack served as a senior project manager and Vice President for Dellagnese Construction (design-builder, property owner and manager) and Kenmore Construction (construction manager and heavy-highway contractor) both located in Akron, Ohio. He oversaw all phases of preconstruction/bidding, construction and closeout activities. His experiences also included risk mitigation, risk management and long-term building ownership. Jack worked closely with owners, design professionals, civil, structural and MEP engineers on conceptual and construction budgets, completing project estimates, negotiation and execution of prime and subcontract purchases, creation of project schedules, scheduling and coordination of prime and subcontractor activities and the management of field and office staff.
Jack’s past work includes the construction of projects ranging from 3,000 to 325,000 square feet in size and $50,000 to $41,000,000 in value. Projects completed include multi-tenant office buildings, medical office buildings, suburban corporate centers, retail facilities, public libraries, primary and secondary schools, outdoor sport facilities, roadway and utility extensions, university dormitories, parking decks and the University of Akron’s Student Recreation Center and Field House.
