Company Profile: 

The innovative leaders of Pioneer Construction represent the next generation of luxury, custom-home builders. By embracing cutting edge building techniques and materials, the latest technologies for HVAC and renewable energy, and, using local sources whenever possible, Pioneer Construction is setting a new standard for the high-performance house.  However, where President Jeff Birnbaum and Pioneer truly excel is in guiding clients – a lot of young families like his own – through the sophisticated building process. “I love the personal interaction with clients. We are on project sites daily and are always reachable by e-mail, text or phone,” says Birnbaum. “We are a small, flexible company and we take great pride in what we do.”

Pioneer Construction is quickly amassing a sterling reputation with clients and industry professionals. “We have been building a new home with Jeff for the last year and we have gotten to know all of the people at Pioneer. They are outstanding, very friendly and conscientious,” says client Brian LaBow. “They are always reachable and approachable. It’s been a complete pleasure.”
