The PENTA Building Group was founded 20 years ago in Las Vegas and has grown into a nationally recognized contractor, serving communities in Southern Nevada, California and Arizona. PENTA is all about people, and this drives every aspect of the way the company does business.
With 12 core values guiding the approach to each project—including accountability, honesty, fairness, teamwork and flexibility—PENTA completes high-quality projects while maintaining a safety rating well below the national average, and zero instances of owner-initiated litigation through more than $7 billion in construction and preconstruction services.
PENTA’s services span far and wide—building or renovating everything from concert venues, hotel properties and multipurpose arenas, to health care and education facilities, public works and parking structures. An industry leader in adopting new technologies, the company provides the highest level of performance on each project.
In the last year, PENTA completed 13 projects in Nevada alone. Its work on the Caesars Forum Convention Center, which is recognized as the Building Project of the Year (over $30 million), is one of its proudest accomplishments from this year.
2020 presented unique challenges, yet PENTA continued to rise above them and continue to work while protecting the organization’s biggest asset: their employees. COVID-19 forced radical change to the entire construction industry. PENTA acted quickly to redefine processes at all job sites to assure that they could continue work, including mandatory health screenings of all employees prior to entering the job site, education for all employees on the CDC’s and OSHA’s COVID-19 risk mitigation practices and requirements, assigning a full-time COVID-19 risk mitigation officer at each site and hiring sanitation specialists to disinfect all common areas and shared tools/equipment.
This thoughtful mentality extends to each community where PENTA works. In 2019, PENTA’s charitable organization PENTA CARES donated more than $900,000 and organized 335 volunteers, who served approximately 3,000 hours with more than 40 nonprofits. Funds and volunteer efforts conducted by employees and family members directly contribute to organizations that provide aid to issues such as food insecurity, veteran services, homelessness and childhood cancer. PENTA has donated over $8 million to 350 charities since 2000.
