About

History

It all started with our first renovations contract with the Department of Defense at the Pentagon in 1991.

Three decades and thousands of projects later, we are still performing strong and building upon those early relationships.  Today, we work in almost every market and provide our services to a wide variety of clients.

Centennial Founded on Eight Core Values

From the outset of the founding of the company in 1991, Centennial has been focused on our core values and ensuring that they are the basis for every decision made.   These core values include: Safety, Integrity, Customer Satisfaction, Cost Effectiveness, Collaboration, Passion, Employee Satisfaction and Adaptability.  Centennial team members are empowered to provide high quality, responsive construction and facility operations services within the framework of our core values.

Our first contract was an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for renovation services for the Department of Defense at the Pentagon.  Our performance and the relationships built on this contract cemented the company’s decision to focus on delivery of the best project outcomes for our clients, meeting our safety requirements, schedules, and quality expectations.

Our goal has always been to focus on the long-term relationship and to build a program with our clients, rather than just completing one project and moving on.  As a result, we have been working with the same clients for over 20 years and have re-procured many long-term contracts multiple times.  This is a testament to the important relationships and the trust we have built with our clients.

In 2005, Centennial was acquired by Bilfinger SE, Europe’s largest industrial services provider.  Although still managed as an independent business, Bilfinger provides Centennial with access to the resources and the expertise of a large, multi-national organization.
