History
Smith & Pickel Construction, Inc. has been providing general contracting services from our Oklahoma City Headquarters since 1976.

Established under the name Yordi and Logan Construction, the business was renamed Yordi Construction in 1978.

As Yordi Construction, the firm concentrated on Competitive Bid Projects. These projects were mainly composed of schools, state, and federally funded projects.

In 1983 the company decided to obtain work exclusively through the negotiated contract method. We believe that this form of contractual relationship fosters a more productive working arrangement between the Architect, Owner and General Contactor. All are members of a team working together toward the same goal of building an economical but high quality project.

Sam Smith and James Pickel purchased the company from Ron Yordi in 1990 after being in his employ for many years. The company immediately became Yordi Smith & Pickel and was subsequently named Smith & Pickel Construction, Inc.

Specializing in all phases of commercial construction, Smith and Pickel Construction, Inc. has become one of the premier general contractors in the Southwest. Our volume of work consists of individual projects ranging in size from less than $100,000 to more than $20 million, and includes office buildings, tenant spaces, medical Facilities, biotechnical facilities, federal buildings, churches, financial institutions, educational facilities, assisted living centers, art museums and facilities for non profit organizations.

With a total staff of 24 engineers, project managers, superintendents, and other support personnel, Smith and Pickel Construction is well-equipped to handle several projects simultaneously. We utilize the latest in computer technology and provide our staff with the safest, most modern construction equipment available.

The management of our firm is directed by Sam B. Smith, President, and James A. Pickel, Executive Vice President. With degrees in Construction Management and Economics, respectively, and over 58 years cumulative experience in the construction industry, they provide a solid foundation for long term planning as well as day to day operations.

Quality. Integrity. Commitment. The solid foundation upon which Smith & Pickel Construction is built.
