About Skepton Construction

Controlled Approach

We take a hands-on approach to everything we do, giving us better control over every aspect of every project – from schedule, to quality, to cost. We do the right thing at the right time, every time.

On-Staff Expertise

We match resources and expertise to meet the needs of each project we do – from preconstruction through completion. Our on-staff experts have diverse backgrounds and proven expertise in nearly every type of commercial construction specialty, allowing us to self-perform important tasks throughout the duration of a project.

Industry Relationships

We have close relationships with the best subcontractors in our market, enabling us to anticipate and make changes easily while working within the framework of your budget. In the end, this enhanced control leads to a better quality product, lower overall costs, and increased project timeliness.

Over 50 years of quality, honesty, and hard work.

At Skepton, we believe in responsible commercial construction by providing our clients with a true partnership on general construction, construction management, and design-build projects and consistently delivering exceptional results – on time and within budget.

Impeccable safety record

We pride ourselves on our exceptional safety and performance record companywide, resulting in lower insurance premiums – translating into client savings.

Proven track record

We have never missed a project completion deadline. Over the years, we’ve delivered over 15 million sq. ft. of projects on time and on budget.

Focus on security

We conduct annual background checks including FBI Clearance, PA Criminal History, and Child Abuse History, as well as random drug and alcohol screening.

Project management expertise

We’re well versed in the preparation of bids, estimating, construction scheduling, submittal review, cost proposals, purchasing, job cost analysis, job billing, punch list completion, site management, quality control, and coordination of subcontractors.

Owner-advocate philosophy

We believe that in order for a project to be successful, in addition to being completed on time and within budget, it must meet the owner’s parameters, criteria, and goals.

Unwavering commitment

We are committed to keeping the lines of communication open, maintaining full disclosure from start to finish, and anticipating and avoiding costly mistakes.

Our heritage is strong like our work ethic.

From day one, Franklin envisioned building a construction business specializing in commercial, industrial, and institutional construction projects with a long history of completing jobs ahead of schedule and within budget.

And he did just that.

After a successful beginning in the construction industry as a carpenter, later working his way up to Job Superintendent, Franklin E. Skepton founded Skepton Construction in 1971.

For over 50 years, Skepton Construction has built many private projects and over 200 school projects with a range of estimated project costs in the hundreds of millions.

Skepton’s rich tradition of building schools has allowed for our company’s progression into commercial work – a successful transition thanks to our unwavering dedication to meeting schedules and tight budgets.

Today, Skepton Construction is a full-service commercial construction company capable of taking on any type of project across many industries. We’re a modern commercial construction company with old-school values and beliefs.

The onsite personnel of Skepton had done a great job in keeping all parties up to date throughout the construction process. The project workmanship has been excellent and all issues have been addressed in a timely manner. They are very accessible from their on-site team all the way to their senior leadership. They are true problem solvers.

James F. DunleavyVP of Finance & Operations, Northampton Community College

During my last few years at Cedar Crest College we did many large and small construction projects. Skepton was the lead on each of them and every one of them was on time and below budget! These folks are the best construction firm I have worked with in my 20 years in higher education.

The quality, attention, exceeded our expectations, and of course, the project was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.

Everyone involved understood from the start that this project was going to challenge each of the contractors to perform at their highest level in order to meet the schedule and regulation limitations. Skepton Construction met all of these challenges.

Skepton not only brought industry knowledge to the table, but they carefully listened to what we wanted and communicated with clarity and frequency throughout the entire project process. They had a high focus on quality, safety and on delivering our facility at the right price without sacrificing our wants and needs. At the end, we were on time and below budget. Our company owner, Mr. Jacquet, noted that this is the nicest building in our worldwide group.

Lionel MeleoPresident of North American Operations, Jacquet Metals

My sincere appreciation to all at Skepton Construction for a job well done. Never doubted my decision to drop this project in your lap. Quality of work, communications, integrity and honesty, were, as expected, always on display.

Throughout our projects: Palmer Elementary School, Cheston Elementary School and the renovation of Cottingham Stadium, Skepton exhibited outstanding leadership, attention to detail, and a dedication to safety and quality. Their ability to effectively communicate with our team and adapt to evolving challenges made them an invaluable partner in these developments. I wholeheartedly recommend Skepton for any future projects. Their professionalism and commitment to excellence will undoubtedly be an asset to any undertaking.
