McGough Construction Company has built its reputation from the North Star State all the way down to the home of the Grand Canyon. The company provides construction services ranging from site acquisition to post-construction facility management. McGough Construction concentrates on commercial, residential, and civic projects through its four primary units: construction; corporate services (layout, planning, financial estimates); development (logistics, project management, zoning); and facility management. Peter McGough and his six sons incorporated the family-owned and operated company in 1956. McGough Construction Company operates from offices in St. Paul and Rochester, Minnesota and in Phoenix. McGough has worked on projects that range from affordable housing and hospitals to corporate headquarters and worship centers. Clients have included 3M, Allianz, Carleton College, and American Express. The company also offers eco-friendly building services. Its Bright Green Center of Excellence offers preconstruction and planning services for clients who wish to reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of construction. McGough also built the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum-rated building in Minnesota. The Great River Energy headquarters building received the highest certification for structures that demonstrate energy efficiency and sustainability.
