<p>“I know, that at the end of the day, everyone wants the same thing: for the job to be done right. It’s my job to make that happen.”</p>
<hr />
<p>Throughout his career, Andy Barrow has worked in many different areas of construction, so he understands all of the intricacies of a job site. Each particular aspect of a construction job presents its own challenges, which is why Andy’s experience makes him perfect to be the person in charge of tackling all of them.</p>
<p>As a foreman he’s overseeing each job from beginning to end, ensuring it’s completed on time and under budget. He’s on the worksite every day making sure materials are in place and that the proper manpower is there to utilize them. He’s anticipating problems before they occur and crafting effective solutions. He knows that it is his job to make sure everyone else can do their job.</p>
<p>Andy feels that, at Rhodey, he found a company that does for its employees what he does on the job site every day. “Pam take care of her employees. She makes sure that they have everything they need to do their jobs as best they can. The entire company does.” He credits the family atmosphere and the people Rhodey hires as the reasons that they maintain such high levels of quality and satisfaction. Andy knows that he’s an essential member and leader on the Rhodey team and he doesn’t take that role lightly. He’s determined to do everything he can to make sure the work he does is up to the high standards that he, and the company he works for, have set.</p>
<p>In 2019, Andy completed the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Superintendent Career Training Program.</p></div>

When it comes to his work, he likes to focus on three main things: craftsmanship, quality and efficiency.

<p>“I realize the team is bigger than myself. I know that if I do my individual job to the best of my abilities, the team at Rhodey Construction has the best chance for success.”</p>
<hr />
<p>Christopher (Chris) Bromwich joined the team at Rhodey Construction as a General Foreman. Prior to his current role, he worked in several trades. He has been a flooring installer, drywall hanger, residential framer, exterior specialist – and has even run his own company.</p>
<p>His diverse job experience has helped him gain a better understanding of the building process. In addition, due to his involvement in different stages and areas of construction, Chris also has extensive knowledge of deadlines in order to ensure a proper build.</p>
<p>As a General Foreman, Chris works on the layout of the build, assisting others on his team with wall placement. Once sketches and blueprints have been approved, he, along with the rest of the team, get to see the project begin to take shape from its bare bones. At this stage of the process, Chris sees the build as a piece of art that gradually begins to take form. From hospital conference rooms to football fields, Chris has a wide array of project management experience.</p>
<p>For Chris, one of the most enjoyable aspects of his job is getting to meet so many new people. Whether it’s the project managers, on-site foreman or any other employee working on the site, he believes everyone has a life story that’s interesting to hear and skillsets that can contribute to the project.</p>
<p>As a student at Winfield High School in Winfield, MO., he attended the building trades class at Pike-Lincoln Technical Center. He then went on to complete the St. Louis Carpenters Apprenticeship Program.</p></div>

<p>“Our biggest strength is that everything we do as a company, we do to the best of our ability. To me, Rhodey’s very high standards and quality workmanship make them stand out</p>
<hr />

In doing so, he’s involved in what he describes as the “big picture” of each project, not only listening to the desires of the client, but also communicating those desires, along with expectations, to the rest of the team in order to bring any project dreams to reality.</p>
<p>Like other team members, Craig takes pride in the work he does for clients, not only for himself, but also for the success of the project. A self-starter, his attention to detail, including craftsmanship, quality and efficiency, ensures every aspect of a job is performed with high standards at the forefront. Among his greatest strengths is his flexibility, working on different projects in the field and maintaining quality throughout the entire process.</p>

<p>“I aim to create a strong customer relationship on each project, with every client. It helps to establish trust in me, my team and Rhodey, which translates to repeat.”</p>
<hr />
<p>General Laborer Foreman, Greg Stinchcomb, has been with the Rhodey team since 2004, always willing to step-in to do a variety of jobs wherever needed. Whether he’s leading a group of subcontractors or doing the work himself, Greg is an enthusiastic and trusted member of the team. His goal is to establish a close working relationship with co-workers and clients from the start, establishing trust throughout each and every project.</p>
<p>Greg’s strong work ethic is demonstrated by his effort to meet and exceed customer expectations.

<p>“We really enjoy what we do. The work is fun, challenging, and most of all; the end result offers a real sense of accomplishment.”</p>
<hr />
<p>Jason Appel re-joined Rhodey as a project manager in 2021 after working as a commercial developer and constructor. Prior to developing and managing multi-million dollar real estate properties Jason worked at Rhodey for over 12 years focusing in healthcare at BJC’s facilities.

This belief has only been strengthened since spending time on the Owner’s side of the table.</p>

He is responsible for reviewing plans, soliciting subcontractor bids, awarding contracts, and managing the schedule and budget throughout the duration of the project.</p>
<p>After receiving his bachelor’s degree in 1998 in construction management from Southwest Missouri State University, Jason was an estimator in the field of new home construction and worked during college, hands-on, in residential remodeling.

<p>“I really like that I can come into work and do what I think is right — do what’s going to be best for the client — and Rhodey has my back on every decision.”</p>
<hr />
<p>General foreman Jason Nipper has spent his career as a carpenter, and it shows in his workmanship and his emphasis on quality. When he can, Jason puts on his tool belt and works right alongside his crew; on larger projects, he takes more of a supervisory role.</p>
<p>In addition to carpentry skills, Jason’s communication ability comes into play on every project. He talks daily with the project manager to ensure the right manpower and plan out the phases of a build, and he’s a key on-the-job contact for the project architect. More important, Jason is great at communicating with our clients, because his hands-on involvement in the project means he can provide detailed information about the work in progress. “When you take pride in your work, and that shows through to the client, they feel confident in the crew that’s on the job,” he says.</p>
<p>Jason takes a highly solution-oriented approach to the building process, and he appreciates that he has the authority to make smart decisions on the fly when an unforeseen problem crops up. He’s earned the trust of the architects that Rhodey works with, who know that Jason has a great eye for aesthetics and can bring their vision to life.</p>
<p>Jason joined Rhodey in 2007, starting as a carpenter and working his way up to general foreman. Prior to coming onboard, he worked in residential construction building multimillion-dollar homes — those refined architectural designs, high-end finishes and luxury materials sharpened both his carpentry skills and his attention to detail. He enjoys working for a company that values both customers and employees highly: “I’ve always treated the guys I work with like I want to be treated: with respect. And Pam is that way, too.”</p></div>

Not wanting to hold up any progress on the job, Jim seeks out the right information at the onset of a project and gets questions answered right away. By being enterprising and looking ahead during each project, Jim often circumvents potential problems, and should they arise, addresses them right away. Safety is at the top of his list — he ensures that everyone is following the rules and that accidents just don’t happen.<br />
Jim’s ultimate satisfaction comes from upholding the Rhodey standards of quality. He enjoys the variety of the job and finds it exciting to start the next project, meet fresh challenges and work<br />
with new people.</p>
<p>In 2015, Jim completed the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Superintendent Career Training Program.<br />
“It’s really important to me to seek out and provide clear information, that way I can anticipate potential problems and address them right away. There’s no project downtime, which keeps the budget in line.”</p></div>

<p>“I try to make the client’s project run as smoothly as possible by being attentive to every detail. I try to make the process fun and enjoyable; if I keep them happy, then I know we’ll get another opportunity to work on their next project.”</p>
<hr />
<p>As vice president, Jim Feldmann takes the lead on Rhodey’s healthcare-related construction business. His 20+ years of experience give him deep knowledge of medical facilities and a real sensitivity to the nature of these jobs. “I work with each institution’s facility and design team to develop a plan to keep the patients safe and the staff functioning,” he says.</p>
<p>Jim guides projects through the design development phase, providing valuable insights on construction feasibility and ensuring that renovation plans work with existing conditions and systems. He outlines each phase of construction (often involving simultaneous projects) to meet schedule and budget requirements while also respecting patient care.</p>
<p>With his strong communication skills, Jim maintains frequent contact with the client, subcontractors and with his right-hand man on the job: the superintendent. “Communication is key to being successful in this business. There are always issues that arise from field changes, conflicts in existing conditions or delayed lead times. As long as we communicate with each other, most situations resolve themselves easily.”</p>
<p>He earned his BS/BA degree in construction management with a minor in business from Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville. He also received his Healthcare Contractor’s Certificate training from the American Society for Healthcare Engineering.</p>
<p>At Rhodey, Jim appreciates that the organization is built on mutual trust and respect for employees’ knowledge and experience. Pam Duffy, he says, encourages and enables her team to make their own well-informed decisions.</p></div>

<p>“I came to work with Rhodey because of the Firm’s reputation for quality and integrity. You just don’t find that every day.”</p>
<hr />
<p>When he joined the Rhodey team, Jim Imperiale, LEED AP, DBIA, was already an industry veteran with more than 30 years of work in civil construction. Jim has experience in nearly every aspect of the business, from field work to management to business ownership, and he brings a high degree of integrity and fairness to his professional relationships. As a vice president in the company’s general construction and subcontractor services divisions, Jim oversees each step of the building process to successfully realize the customer’s vision.</p>
<p>Jim’s hands-on approach to each project begins with helping to determine specs and estimating. From there, he guides every aspect of the job, including field supervision, scheduling, client service, architect and engineer relationships, contracts and change orders, and preparing warranty packages as part of the closing phase. Jim takes a proactive and organized approach to project management, and he has an excellent track record of delivering projects on time and on budget.</p>
<p>After attending Fontbonne University as a business administration major, Jim owned his own concrete restoration company, where he directed projects at a high level and also managed<br />
day-to-day issues.</p>
<p>Jim’s experience as a subcontractor working with Rhodey introduced him first-hand to the exceptional way that our company values our suppliers and subcontractors as well as our clients. Jim recognized that these relationships — built on partnership and trust — make our company stand apart. “I liked the culture of the company from the contacts I had made there,” he says.</p></div>

<p>Before stepping into his role at Rhodey, Josh spent three years interning with general contractors gaining knowledge in site management, estimating and customer service. He also spent two years as a steel subcontractor. Josh has worked on multiple projects, including educational, industrial and healthcare builds.</p>
<p>Josh obtained his degree in Construction Management from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. When he’s not working with clients, he likes to spend time at home with his four-legged family members: two dogs and two cats.</p></div>

<hr />
<p>Kevin Briggs has spent his career as a carpenter, and it shows in his workmanship and his emphasis on quality. When he can, Kevin puts on his tool belt and works right alongside his crew; on larger projects, he takes more of a supervisory role.</p>
<p>In addition to carpentry skills, Kevin’s communication ability comes into play on every project. He talks daily with the project manager to ensure the right manpower and plan out the phases of a build, and he’s a key on-the-job contact for the project architect. More important, Kevin is great at communicating with our clients, because his hands-on involvement in the project means he can provide detailed information about the work in progress.</p>
<p>Kevin takes a highly solution-oriented approach to the building process, and he appreciates that he has the authority to make smart decisions on the fly when an unforeseen problem crops up. He’s earned the trust of the architects that Rhodey works with, who know that Kevin has a great eye for aesthetics and can bring their vision to life.</p>
<p>In 2016, Kevin completed the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Superintendent Career Training Program.</p></div>

<p>“Our goal is creating an enjoyable building experience for owners. Being invited to do another project — or being referred to others — is what defines our success.”</p>
<hr />
<p>Pam Duffy loves the business of building. And she comes by that honestly: As a girl, she’d visit her father, John Rhodey, on his construction sites. She put herself through college by working alongside her father from the time he started this company in 1972.</p>
<p>John, a master builder of major civil engineering projects, taught his daughter how to run the business — but more important, he instilled the values that make the company successful: Sound ethics. Honest work. Strong relationships with both employees and clients. “We like to do business the old-fashioned way — where our word and handshake really mean something,” Pam says. “This applies to our employees as well as our customers. A company is only as strong as its people. We have great people and a healthy work environment. Lots of people might say it, but here it’s true.”</p>
<p>As president of the company, Pam spends her time communicating with clients and employees, keeping tabs on every ongoing project and managing essential business functions. She supplemented her practical, hands-on experience in the construction field with an MBA degree, giving her the skills to run the company and strategize its future. She describes her role as being part connector, part cheerleader and part visionary. At Rhodey she’s created an environment where employees feel empowered to make their own decisions within a framework of honesty, ethics, trust and client service.</p>
<p>Pam relishes the fact that so many of Rhodey Construction’s clients are repeat customers. “Clients originally come to us because of our reputation as an honest, ethical company that gets work done right. And they come back to us because we deliver what we say we’re going to deliver,” she says. “Dad taught me that if we do a good job and treat people fairly, the business will come. And it has.”</p>
<p>Pam stays involved in business and community activities including:</p>
<p>• Finalist in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program in the Central Midwest<br />
• Rhodey Listed Among Top 10 Women-Owned Businesses in St. Louis<br />
• Saint Louis Zoo – Living Promise Campaign Donor, Marlin Perkins Member<br />

<hr />
<p>Steve LeBrell serves as a superintendent for healthcare-related construction, and he manages some of Rhodey’s most challenging projects that involve medical personnel and their patients. When clients hire Rhodey to expand or renovate existing facilities, Steve is dedicated to coordinating with employees so that care is minimally disrupted.</p>
<p>Our healthcare clients tell us they particularly respect Steve’s conscientious, solution-oriented approach and his willingness to be flexible and accommodating when the construction team is working around patients and visitors. Clients value Steve’s leadership in ensuring stringent compliance with infection-control procedures.</p>
<p>Steve’s superintendent role involves overseeing construction, managing sizable crews and subcontractors, and coordinating schedules. Steve enjoys hands-on work in addition to supervising others. He collaborates closely with facility managers, project managers, charge nurses, security and infection-control experts.</p>
<p>Steve is dedicated to giving the client personal attention. “I do a lot of coordinating, personally walking through the project with the client to make sure the details are covered and that they’re happy. If there’s ever any question or any need, I’m right there on the job and can take care of it.” Additionally, Steve completed the training and testing requirements of the UBC Infection Control Risk Assessment ICRA in 2017.</p>
<p>After several years in commercial and residential construction, Steve joined Rhodey in 1988. He recall’s John Rhodey’s business philosophy, one that Pam has carried on. “John’s concept on the job was that he wanted things done right, and he didn’t care what effort was involved.” Coupled with a great reputation, Steve’s work reflects the company’s overall philosophy to work hard and get things done right.</p></div>
