Long-Time Leader With A Newly Expanded Role
Mike Loven founded Loven Contracting in 1985 as a two-person operation. Thirty-six years later, the Flagstaff, AZ-headquartered general contracting firm services clients across the southwest in a wide range of industry sectors. Mike’s lifelong focus on ethical standards and high-quality construction methods has been the key to building the firm’s long-term client relationships and outstanding reputation for project delivery and process.
Beyond Mike’s many tangible accomplishments, he has fostered an employee-oriented culture of excellence across all aspects of Loven Contracting operations. “Early identification of talented personnel and trade partners has enabled us to build a team that is laser-focused on client results,” says Mike. “Loven Contracting personnel have the tools and opportunities they need to grow their careers, which translates into employee retention and consistent best-quality project delivery.”
As CEO, Mike will continue to provide primary leadership in implementing the firm’s construction standards and the VPP Star Safety Program – the highest level of workplace safety certification available. “I will also focus on client relationships and solidifying a 36-year legacy of quality project delivery,” said Mike. “This transition will enable more in-person service for our clients and increased time with our team members in the field – reinforcing the core philosophies that make us successful.”
