Our History

The Company Begins
The Streeter family traces its’ construction roots to the early part of the century with Streeter Construction Services, owned by Arthur Streeter.  Arthur’s son Henry operated his own company from the great depression through the end of the 40’s before joining forces with his brother Charles and officially incorporating Streeter Associates on June 13th, 1949.  Classy and well-mannered, Henry Streeter, Sr. set the tone for what would become one of the most well-respected family businesses in the region.

Seeds Planted
During the 1950s, the company planned for the succession of Henry by bringing in a partner, James A. “Big Jim” Norris.   Led by the financial acumen of Charles M. Streeter, Sr. and the construction expertise of “Big Jim” Norris, Streeter developed a business model based on providing the highest quality of construction services with the goal of creating satisfied customers and repeat business.  It was at that time that they planted the seeds for future long term relationships with Arnot Ogden Medical Center, Hardinge Inc., Westinghouse, Elmira College and Cornell University.

Sons Join the Team
In the 1960s, a second generation Streeter and Norris joined the firm. James A. Norris, Jr. and Charles M. Streeter, Jr. participated heavily in the growth of regional schools with buildings for Elmira City School District, Ithaca City School District, and the Horseheads School District.

Building Relationships
The company continued to develop an excellence in educational construction, continuing relationships with Elmira College and Cornell University while also developing new relationships with Ithaca College and Corning Community College. The company also continued developing an expertise with manufacturing construction working for existing customers like Hardinge Inc. while establishing new relationships with companies such as Corning Glass.

Expansion
After the expansion of services during the 1970's, Streeter continued steady growth in the 1980's, expanding its' customer base, work force and offices to stay ahead of the growing demands of the industry. Charles M. Streeter, Jr. became President in 1987 and with his doctrine of "management with integrity," the company continued to expand its' services, customer base and geographic reach.

Additionally, Streeter developed an expertise at constructing Skilled Nursing Facilities for customers such as the Ithaca Reconstruction Home, Schuyler Memorial Hospital and Ira Davenport Hospital.

A Tradition Continues
Since its' inception in 1949, Streeter Associates always managed growth and change extremely well while keeping true to its mission to provide the best possible construction services resulting in satisfied customers, long term relationships and repeat business. The 1990s were no exception as Charlie Streeter managed growth and changes to the company by promoting John Carpenter to Executive Vice President and Roland Grap to Vice President. Additionally, Charlie's son Jeff joined the company to carry the "Streeter Values" into the new millennium. Streeter continued their relationship with valued customers such as the Arnot Ogden Medical Center, Elmira College, Cornell University and Corning Incorporated while forging new relationships with Oswego Health to build several health care facilities and Adelphia Cable and Orthstar Enterprises to build new corporate headquarters.

Our Areas of Operation

Streeter Associates has been operating the Southern Tier of New York State and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania since our inception. Our main office is in Elmira, New York with a satellite office in Vestal, New York. We have successfully performed a multitude of projects in this region and some at distances beyond our typical reach. We know the local supplier and subcontracting market well and are very proud to see the results of our effort serve the communities we call home.

Safety Management

Streeter Associates' commitment to safety starts at the top. All upper management, Project Managers, Project Estimators and Superintendents attend regular company-wide safety meetings. We have a comprehensive on-going safety and health program that is designed to provide an accident-free and illness-free work environment by conducting safety and health training, hazard communication training, weekly on-site "Tool Box" safety meetings and OSHA Construction Safety Programs.

As Construction Manager, Streeter Associates, Inc. conducts a "Pre-Job Safety and Hazard Communication Contractor Review" as well as joint "Safety Audits" with all site contractors. This enables us to demonstrate our commitment to safety, review the contractors' commitment to safety, and build a cooperative relationship.

All Streeter Associates employees are subject to a mandatory drug-testing policy to ensure that our personnel are making clear and prudent decisions at all times. In a number of cases, we may require our sub-contracting partners to conduct similar testing with their teams as a part of the pre-construction process.



Lovell Safety Management
Streeter Associates utilizes the services of Lovell Safety Management, having been a member of Safety Group 469 since 1956. As a result, Streeter Associates has access to Lovell's safety service through direct contact with their staff and professionals.

Streeter Associates has a comprehensive and on-going safety and health program committed to providing an accident-free work environment for all employees. We conduct Safety and Health Training, Weekly Tool Box Talks, and OSHA 30 Hour Construction and Health Training Programs on an annual basis. Our Project Managers and Superintendents are well versed in OSHA's Standards for Construction 29 CFR1926. Every Streeter Associates employee is subject to random substance abuse testing to ensure that workers are alert and prudent with their actions. Every project starts with a pre-job safety review and regular safety audits. Our excellent safety record has garnered the attention of many of our customers who wisely choose to make that a part of their contractor pre-qualification process.

Our Safety Program includes the following objectives:

• Review subcontractor safety qualifications and safety programs prior to subcontractor bidding during the pre-qualification process.
• Prepare project specific safety plan.
• Review subcontractor's project specific safety plans prior to allowing subs to work on the site.
• Participate in and conduct job site safety meetings.

• Review all incident, accident, near miss and inspection reports.
• Correspond with Lovell Safety Group for regular inspections.
• Provide written correspondence to subcontractors when necessary.

Working Toward Sustainable Building Practices

Years before the creation of the US Green Building Council (USGBC) in 1998, Streeter Associates would often provide building performance studies for its customers, focusing on material life cycles, potential energy savings, and overall building performance improvements. As the Green Building movement evolved, the USGBC began establishing criteria for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified buildings, of which Streeter Associates has built several. Streeter is a member of the USGBC, and has several employees who maintain individual memberships in the upstate New York chapter of the USGBC. Management of the company regularly attends and encourages participation in various USGBC meetings and training sessions not only to keep up with the trends and changes, but also to provide vital input to the cause. This experience and training enables Streeter Associates to be a vital team member in the pursuit of "building green."
