McInroe’s approach starts with a ‘Safety Moment’
Chris McInroe joined Perlo Construction in 2005 as a project manager and advanced to senior project manager before being named project director in September. During that time, he has been instrumental in improving the company’s safety culture.
The initiatives he has championed include building safety into Perlo’s “Mock Project” training platform for newly hired project managers and engineers, and improving Perlo’s pre-construction meetings by adding several safety-related questions and considerations.
McInroe represents the company’s Project Manager Group as a Safety Committee Team member; spearheads the implementation of its Construction Athlete Program, a daily mobility, flexibility and strength regimen for field employees; and leads companywide training in the importance of “soft skills,” such as communication and body language, in the construction arena.

2019 was a good year for tenant improvement projects in the wider Portland area. One of the best of those actually featured a local general contractor, Perlo Construction, reimagining their own headquarters.
With the boom of industrial and warehouse construction in the area in recent years, Perlo outgrew its old space in Tualatin and decided to expand. They hired multidisciplinary firm Mackenzie to handle both architectural and engineering work on the project, and self-performed the general contractor role.
