Built on Family. Driven by Trust.

About

P. Makinler Building Group was founded with a simple but powerful goal: to change how people experience construction.

Too often, construction feels transactional, impersonal, and stressful. We set out to build something different—a company grounded in relationships, transparency, and accountability, where clients feel heard, supported, and confident at every stage of the process.

As a family-owned and owner-operated building group, we take a personal approach to every project. When you work with P. Makinler, you work directly with the people responsible for the outcome. No layers, no handoffs, and no guesswork.

Our Story

More Than a Name

P. Makinler isn’t just a company name—it’s a reflection of why we do what we do.

The name is derived from the founders’ children, a reminder that everything we build should be done with care, responsibility, and long-term thinking. It represents our belief that construction isn’t just about what’s built today, but how it serves people tomorrow.

That mindset shapes how we approach every project:

  • We plan with the future in mind
  • We communicate openly and honestly
  • We treat every build as if our own family would rely on it
This personal connection is what drives our commitment to quality, trust, and lasting value.

Our Core Values

Relationships

We strive to create partnerships and teams that thrive on trust, diversity and ideas. We build sincere, authentic and meaningful relationships that often endure beyond the project.

Trust

Trust drives results. We earn the trust of our clients through a pattern of unquestioned integrity. Our mission is to provide superior construction and exceed customer expectations, through our culture of honesty, empathy, and integrity.

Innovation

P. Makinler seeks innovative and creative approaches to our construction process. We support the kind of creativity that pushes boundaries and advances your goals to drive progress.
