Colas Construction

He built with his words.

Perseverance shapes the future long before it arrives.

A Kids Book About Construction now sits inside the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library, in Atlanta, where Dr. King was born and raised, a reminder that learning creates access, nurtures imagination, and opens doors that once felt out of reach.

Progress is sustained when we give, listen, and lift others as we move forward.

Honoring Dr. King means continuing the work through education, representation, and building pathways for the next generation.

Wow, this is special. Shared by our Founder, Hermann Colas Jr., whose hands are proudly holding Vol. 41, No. 37 of the Portland Business Journal. A meaningful moment that reflects the journey, the people, and the standards behind our work at COLAS.

From our project sites in OR and WA, this recognition reflects the standard we hold ourselves to every day. COLAS is honored to be recognized by local CEOs as one of the region’s Most Admired Companies.

Congratulations to each company recognized. It's an honor to be included among organizations making a lasting impact.
