Safety

our number one priority.

Since 1939, Funk Construction, a third-generation family-owned company, has made family an integral component of safety. One only needs to see the long-standing employment durations of our personnel to realize that they truly are part of our family. We focus on the implementation of the HOW’S and the WHY’S of safe practices – for the job sites and in our homes.

Attention to detail. Minimal change orders. When Arthur Funk and Sons constructed our 72-unit, tax-credit building in Parkesburg, Pa., it was experience and quality of work that made them our first choice. It was truly a cooperative and collaborative effort that brought our project in on time and on budget. Arthur Funk and Sons met – and exceeded – expectations!

The company Experience Modification Rate (“EMR” shows a 3-year period of accident claim costs and is a major factor in determining the Worker’s Compensation premium calculation) has remained below 1.00 since 2001. In the construction industry – as well as in the manufacturing, pharmaceutical, medical/hospital industries, among others – it is considered paramount that firms maintain their EMR’s at or below the 1.00 calculation, often as a contractual prerequisite. As a result, the associated premium cost remains well-controlled. This success is directly attributed to the company’s commitment to safety.
