About
At PWCampbell, our story is one of legacy, innovation, and resilience. What began as a general contracting company has evolved into a 4th generation family-owned and certified women’s business enterprise. We are a trusted leader in the financial industry, recognized for our expertise as a full-service design-build and integrated services firm.
Along the way, we expanded our reach with the creation of Phillip Wentzel Custom Homes, our highly successful residential division, and developed BrandVisionHD, a digital signage platform built exclusively for financial institutions. Through every chapter, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to building exceptional spaces and even stronger relationships. The journey of how we got here is one of hard work, vision, and dedication—this is our story.
Generations
Second generation owners, Jim and John Campbell shifted the focus to commercial construction, focusing primarily on the banking industry. Their keen business sense recognized that evolving into a design-build company would be a great benefit to our clients and a unique advantage over our competition. By the time the third generation, also named Jim and John, took the reins, the company was a well-respected name in the financial services industry, serving the mid-Atlantic region. This legacy has now been extended to the company’s fourth generation in Erin, Carlin, and Amanda.
PWCampbell isn’t just a name, it’s a legacy.
Family owned and operated, PWCampbell is founded as a general contracting company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
