Bancroft Contracting
Bancroft Contracting Corporation is a generational family-owned heavy industrial general contracting firm that has been making significant contributions to the construction industry since its establishment in 1977 by Al Bancroft. Headquartered in South Paris, Maine, the company was handed over to his son, Mark Bancroft, who became president in 2002 and acquired the company in 2004. This familial legacy has not only contributed to the company’s foundation but has also instilled a strong value system focused on relationship-building and customer satisfaction.
Bancroft Contracting stands out in the general contracting arena due to its commitment to self-performing a majority of its projects. The company's service offerings encompass a wide array of construction and industrial maintenance solutions, including dam construction and remediation, boiler maintenance, concrete construction and repair, crane services, industrial piping, and mechanical and millwrighting services. Notable projects executed by Bancroft involve dams, powerhouses, electrical distribution substations, bridges, as well as large commercial and industrial building foundations.
The company prides itself on employing a flexible workforce composed of seasoned construction professionals who thrive in a merit shop environment. This allows Bancroft to utilize a diverse range of skilled trades including structural welders, millwrights, pipe fitters, industrial electricians, riggers, and skilled laborers, enabling them to deliver projects efficiently and effectively.
Bancroft Contracting operates primarily in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, with capabilities to mobilize to Massachusetts, New York, and the Mid-Atlantic region when required. The company has even extended its services to locations as far west as Chicago and as far south as Louisiana on occasion, showcasing its adaptability and readiness to meet client needs across a broad geographic area.
Since its inception, Bancroft has consistently cultivated a reputation for relationship-based service, forging lasting partnerships with employees, vendors, and clients alike. The distinguishing feature of their approach is prioritizing long-term collaborations, viewing each project as a vital stepping stone to future endeavors. Their client portfolio includes prominent sectors such as pulp and paper manufacturing, power generation, and cement and plastic manufacturing, underscoring their versatility and expertise across multiple industries. Bancroft Contracting is dedicated to maintaining its reputation for delivering swift, professional, and effective construction solutions, a commitment that has solidified its foundation built on repeat business and customer loyalty.
Payment applications generally include the application for payment form and a continuation sheet (which includes a schedule of values and change orders). Depending on the situation, you may also include backup documents like materials receipts and invoices, payroll wage reports, and lien waivers.
It's a lot to keep straight, and it's further complicated by most GCs requiring their own custom payment application forms, rather than standard AIA templates. Fortunately, Siteline has more than 8,000 forms from over 6,000 GCs—in our system. Our software streamlines the entire monthly billing workflow, ensuring you submit the perfect pay apps on time, every time, which gets your invoices paid about three weeks faster.Want to see for yourself?
