Allan E. Bulley, Jr. graduated from Brown University with a degree in civil engineering. Upon completion of his formal education, he entered the building industry and the family business. Allan Jr. succeeded his father as President in 1970. Under Allan's tutelage the firm continued to nurture existing client relationships and pursued new construction ventures such as health care, senior living and fitness facilities.
1971One of the more unconventional projects Bulley & Andrews has tackled is the replacement of the ice rink at the Chicago Stadium in 1971. The existing floor system was removed and a completely new refrigerant piping system was installed. Concrete was then poured in place over the piping in preparation for the containment system for the ice layer. Members of our field forces who were Blackhawk fans considered this project a true labor of love.
Bulley & Andrews will not pursue all the contracting work in the area, only the most demanding
Bulley &Andrews places integrity, craftsmanship, prompt performance and service above immediate profit considerations
Bulley & Andrews believes that through proper planning, management and operating techniques, quality construction, can be delivered on a cost-effective and timely basis
Bulley & Andrews’ axioms established in the 1970's remain corporate tenets today:
1976During the early 1970's Bulley & Andrews completed several projects for St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, IL. The new Coronary Care Unit was remodeled to create one of the most advanced cardiac care units in the Midwest and the renovation of nursing stations allowed for complete visual and electronic monitoring of patients. In 1973, the new five-story, reinforced concrete Professional Building was erected and built out. The 26 foot channel-shaped pre-stressed concrete spandral beams presented unusual 'challenges' in scheduling and erection.
