CORE Construction’s rich history started with one key moment in 1937, when our founder, Otto Baum, applied for a loan to start a masonry company. He had nothing to use as collateral except for his proven character and exemplary reputation. When the bank manager asked the loan officer why they should consider Otto's request, the officer simply replied, "I trust him." This event sparked the beginning of a company that would one day grow to multiple locations across the U.S., supported by over 1,200 employees and a strong culture built on the same trust Otto started the company with in 1937. Generally, you have two options when selecting a construction partner. You can choose a local team but sacrifice the resources of a national organization, or you can choose a national builder but sacrifice the local touch. At CORE Construction, we believe you should have the best of both worlds. Our team is committed to delivering the high-quality services of a nationwide leader, while using a local workforce to create customized buildings that meet your needs and strengthen the community. Serving out of our local Boise, Idaho office and supported by our national resources, our mission at CORE is to EARN the trust of our employees, building partners and clients. We earn this trust by adhering to our CORE values of Integrity, Fairness, Continuous Improvement and Results! With a strong expertise in educational, public-sector and municipal facilities, we are honored to serve the State of Idaho.
