Warfel Construction Achieves Platinum Level in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System
East Petersburg, PA—Warfel Construction is proud to announce that it has achieved Platinum Level in the Associated Builders and Contractors’ (ABC) STEP Safety Management System for 2025. This prestigious recognition underscores Warfel’s unwavering commitment to safety and dedication to fostering a culture where safety is prioritized at every level.
Established more than 30 years ago, STEP (Safety Training Evaluation Process) is a leading safety benchmarking and improvement tool that helps construction firms strengthen their safety programs.
STEP participants consistently outperform industry standards, with top-tier companies achieving incident rates nearly six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) construction industry average.
“Safety is more than policies and procedures—it’s embedded in our culture here at Warfel,” said Conlan Swope, President of Warfel Construction. “It’s a shared responsibility, from the field to the office, and this recognition reinforces our ongoing efforts to protect our employees, clients, and partners.”
What It Takes to Achieve Platinum STEP Status
Earning Platinum Level recognition in the ABC STEP program requires companies to meet rigorous safety standards and demonstrate a lasting commitment to workplace health and safety. This includes being an ABC member, achieving a minimum Key Component self-score, and maintaining an incidence rate at least 25% below the national BLS industry average.
Additionally, Platinum-level companies must report zero fatalities or in-patient hospitalizations, maintain a clean OSHA record with no serious, repeat, or willful citations, and sign the Drug- and Alcohol-Free Workplace Pledge. They must also submit their OSHA Form 300A, reinforcing transparency and accountability in workplace safety.
A Culture of Safety and Continuous Improvement
At Warfel Construction, safety is not just a set of rules—it’s a core value that shapes daily operations, decision-making, and long-term success. The company continuously enhances its safety protocols through innovation, training, and leadership-driven accountability.
“This recognition reflects the hard work of our entire team in making safety a core part of our culture. While we celebrate this achievement, we are even more focused on the road ahead, continuing to enhance our safety programs, embrace new innovations, and ensure that every person on our job sites goes home safely,” said Jason Beiler, Safety Manager.
Key elements of Warfel’s safety-first approach include:
Safety Integration in Every Meeting – Ensuring open communication and hazard awareness.
Ongoing Training and Education – Equipping employees with the knowledge to recognize and mitigate risks.
A Dedicated Safety Committee – Reviewing incidents and recommending proactive improvements.
Stop Work Authority – Empowering employees at all levels to halt unsafe operations.
Technology-Driven Safety Measures – Predicting hazards and streamlining reporting processes.
Total Human Health Approach – Addressing not just physical safety but also mental well-being, financial security, and work-life balance.
“Safety is a journey, and that journey is possible because of systems like STEP, which enables ABC member contractors to build health and safety into their culture actively,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment, and Workforce Development. “Warfel Construction’s achievement reflects their strong commitment to protecting their workers and delivering excellence for their clients.”

Warfel Construction Celebrates Women in Construction Week with a Commitment to Empowering All Employees
East Petersburg, PA – In honor of Women in Construction Week, Warfel Construction celebrates its ongoing commitment to empowering women in the construction industry. Initiated in 1998 by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), Women in Construction Week highlights the vital role women play in shaping the future of construction. Warfel remains dedicated to fostering a culture of mentorship and support, ensuring that women thrive across every aspect of the organization—whether in the field, the office, or in leadership roles.
Supporting Women in the Workforce
According to a recent study by NAWIC, women make up just 11% of the overall construction workforce, with only 4% represented in the trades. Despite these numbers, women’s contributions to the industry remain invaluable. Warfel recognizes this and is committed to creating a workplace where women can excel and succeed. Over the past decade, Warfel has seen a 68% increase in female employees, underscoring their dedication to building a more diverse workforce.
“We are deeply committed to fostering an environment where every team member feels welcomed and valued,” said Conlan Swope, President of Warfel Construction. “Each of our employees plays a key role in our success, and as we look to the future, we will continue to advocate for more opportunities for women in construction.”
RISE: Empowering Women Through Connection
Warfel supports women through its internal group, RISE (Redefining Industry Standards for Equality). Open to all employees, RISE provides support and resources for those who consider themselves minorities in the construction field. The group organizes events throughout the year—ranging from community service to team-building activities—that foster personal and professional growth. RISE is instrumental in promoting community among Warfel employees, ensuring that all team members feel connected and supported.
During Women in Construction Week 2025, Warfel’s RISE group, in collaboration with the NAWIC South Central PA Chapter, hosted a special event for members of local construction firms. The event featured a tour of Warfel’s College Avenue project site in Lancaster, PA, offering attendees the opportunity to connect, share experiences, and strengthen their professional networks within the industry.
“Women in Construction Week is a time to celebrate and elevate the incredible women who are shaping the future of our industry,” said Rachel Quinn, President of the NAWIC South Central PA Chapter. “This year, our members truly embodied that mission by stepping into leadership roles, hosting insightful tours, and fostering valuable connections. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors for their support—together, we’re breaking barriers, building stronger networks, and driving progress in construction.”
Celebrating Women Across All Departments
Warfel’s dedication to supporting women goes beyond recruitment. It incorporates mentorship, leadership development, and the cultivation of a workplace culture that values diversity at all levels.
“Women in construction bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the table,” said Colleen Lynn, Director of Business Development at Warfel Construction. “We’re proud to support the growth of women leaders in all aspects of our business, and we’re excited to see how this impact will continue to grow.”
Looking Ahead
As Women in Construction Week concludes, Warfel reaffirms its commitment to empowering women within our organization and across the construction industry. Moving forward, we remain focused on strengthening our relationships with partners like NAWIC and continuing our efforts to build a workforce that encourages innovation and leadership for generations to come.

Winchester, VA – Warfel Construction is proud to announce the successful completion of the Villas at Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury (SVWC). This milestone not only marks the conclusion of a significant project but also highlights Warfel’s ongoing growth and commitment to Virginia, underscoring the company’s dedication to its people, culture, and long-term relationships.
The Villas at SVWC
In April 2022, Warfel opened its Virginia office to support the Villas project, a $110 million expansion of SVWC’s existing Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). This project adds 97 independent living apartments to the Winchester community, consisting of ten Villas that offer an elevated lifestyle for residents. The Villas feature modern amenities, including open floor plans with abundant natural light, large patios, energy efficiency, personal garages, and scenic views of ponds, meadows, and trails.
A Commitment to Community, People, and Quality
“Our mission, Clients for Life, extends beyond the projects we work on,” said Steve Davis, Vice President, Virginia at Warfel Construction. “The Villas at SVWC reflects our dedication to delivering high-quality construction while fostering lasting relationships with our clients and communities. We’re proud to be part of this significant development in the Shenandoah Valley.”
At Warfel, community involvement is fundamental to the company’s culture. As part of the Clients for Life mission, Warfel is committed not only to the projects they undertake but also to building strong relationships with the communities they serve. Warfel takes pride in creating a lasting impact by contributing to local initiatives and becoming active members of each community long after the construction is complete. This approach underscores Warfel’s deep commitment to the regions where they build, fostering environments where clients, partners, and residents can thrive.
Growing in Virginia
What started as a team of five has grown to over twenty-nine employees in Warfel’s Virginia office. Located at 112 N Loudoun St. in Winchester, the office has transformed from a vacant space into a vibrant hub that has played a pivotal role in supporting the Villas project and building local connections. This expansion is a clear reflection of Warfel’s long-term investment in Virginia and its commitment to hiring local talent.
“We don’t just build buildings; we build relationships,” said Steve Davis. “Our employees have become like family to the residents of SVWC. We take our people-first approach seriously—whether it’s with our team, clients, or the residents we support. We’re proud of the trust and mutual respect we’ve earned in Virginia.”
Giving Back to Shenandoah Valley
In addition to providing senior housing, Warfel’s team has actively engaged with the local community. They’ve sponsored events such as the United Way and the Apple Blossom Festival and contributed to various non-profit fundraising initiatives, reinforcing Warfel’s commitment to the region.
Building Trust and Lasting Partnerships
Jeannie Shiley, President and Chief Executive Officer at SVWC, shared her appreciation for the collaboration: “Warfel did an amazing job for us. We trust them, respect them, and they trusted and respected us in return. That’s why we have such a great project completed. Over the last 5 years, I’ve made many good friends, and I believe we’ve earned the respect of our board through this project. It was huge for us, and I know we’ll be their Clients for Life.”
Looking to the Future
“We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with the Villas project, but even prouder of the relationships we’ve built here,” said Sheila Snyder, Senior Project Director, involved with the project. “Winchester is a close-knit community, and we have been fortunate to experience that firsthand. This project is just the beginning of our long-term commitment to Virginia and its residents. We treat our work as more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact on people’s lives.”
With the completion of the Villas project, Warfel is continuing to expand its footprint across Virginia, with several projects underway in Winchester and surrounding areas. The company’s commitment to the region remains strong, and Warfel looks forward to contributing to the growth and prosperity of the Shenandoah Valley for many years to come.
“Opening our office in Virginia was a key milestone in our journey, and seeing it flourish is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team,” said Conlan Swope, President of Warfel Construction. “We are incredibly grateful for the relationship built with Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury, and we’re excited for the future and the positive impact we’ll continue to make in the community.”

A Business Relationship that Stands the Test of Time
Lancaster City’s track record of cultivating many long-lasting organizations and businesses is evident by the list of names you see dotted throughout the city. The establishment and continued operation of these headquarters has been an engine for sustained growth, with some notable entries including F&M College, LNP, Cargas, Fulton Financial, Fulton Theatre, Central Market—the list goes on.
A surprising name added back to this list in 2023 was Hamilton Watch. With the opening of their first standalone store location in the US, they once again have a presence downtown after being absent for over 50 years. Hamilton is celebrating this continued history in the city where the brand was founded 132 years ago with a new boutique store and museum.
Warfel Construction completed the renovations to this boutique earlier this summer, providing the final touches to finish the space. As the project wrapped up, our team discovered an old photo that revealed an 83-year-long history between our two companies. Stroll through the past with us to learn about the founding of the Hamilton Watch Company, where they went in the 1970s, and the many surprising connections between this international watch brand, Warfel Construction, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The Founding of an Iconic Brand
The Hamilton Watch Company was established in 1892, being named after Andrew Hamilton, an attorney who was one of the original founders of Lancaster County in the 1720s and 1730s. In fact, he was the original owner of the site on which the watch factory was situated. During this period, Hamilton produced pocket watches to help America’s railroads run on time, and wristwatches for soldiers in World War I and World War II.

Early 1900s: Hamilton Expands and Warfel Founded
Hamilton’s continued growth during this period required expansions to their campus with various additions and renovations. Beginning as a much smaller factory, their headquarters grew into a complex of buildings which remains recognizable today. The second clock tower was added in 1916, creating the iconic and majestic structure viewed from Columbia Avenue downtown. Other extensions and landscaping projects were completed throughout the early 1900s and into the 1930s.
During this time, Warfel Construction was founded by David S. Warfel in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A Lancaster Business College graduate with a few years of experience under his belt, D.S. Warfel, then 28, decided that the growing Lancaster County could use a new general contracting firm. With his friend, Harry W. Peters, he established the D.S. Warfel, General Contractor firm in 1911.
The beginning of his legacy started when he took his first job constructing a small church downtown. A reputation for good work and fair prices quickly brought about many referrals. The Lancaster Train Station, completed in 1929, was one of the first major projects Warfel completed during the company’s early years.
Hamilton and Warfel’s business relationship started in 1941 when construction began on the 4-story administrative office addition to the front of complex. Between 1941 and the 1970s, Warfel also renovated various areas of their facility, along with adding a boiler room, toilets, garages, loading platforms, connecting corridors, a vault, engineering laboratory, among other small additions.
The aerial photo above shows the administrative building that Warfel constructed in 1941 (the detached wing on the bottom right side of the photo), flanked by the two clock towers on either side. This shows the scale to which the factory grew by the mid twentieth century. Photo from the 1951 Hamilton Watch catalog.This photo was found in Warfel Construction’s historical archives while looking for an historical photo of another project. This led to the discovery of the many connections woven together through the Hamilton Watch Company and Warfel Construction’s business relationship. The above photo lives alongside a project ledger showing the administrative building being completed in 1941 for $220,000.
1960s, 70s, 80s: Hamilton Moves to Switzerland
Hamilton acquired the Buren Watch Company in 1966 and began to transition their operations to a new headquarters in Switzerland. Manufacturing was also incrementally moved to the Buren factory over the next few years, with most production ending at the Lancaster facility by 1969. In 1974, the Hamilton Watch brand was acquired by what would soon become The Swatch Group.
No longer producing watches, what was now Hamilton Technology remained at the Columbia Avenue complex until 1980, when they moved to N Queen Street in Lancaster, about a mile east. Their old factory complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and would eventually become the Clock Towers luxury condominiums that occupy the building today. The administrative building that Warfel built in 1941 now houses the New School Montessori.
Hamilton Technology’s new location was the old Hess’s Department Store at 101 N Queen. They hired Warfel to renovate this new facility to suit their needs, and Warfel completed renovations to the building in 1981 and 1983. These renovations were almost exclusively to the interior of the building, leaving minimal changes to the exterior. Hamilton Technology utilized this space until 1989, when they were acquired by BulovaTech.
The Lancaster Hess’s Department Store location operated for only two years between 1971-1973, according to LNP. The exterior of the building remained almost untouched between 1973 and 2017 when construction began on its revitalization. File photo courtesy of LNP.
Early 2000s: New Clients, Familiar Places
In 2008, Bulova closed their location at 101 N Queen when the company was acquired by another firm and operations were ceased. The building remained untouched until plans started forming to revitalize the space around 2015.
During this time, Warfel created a connection with a new Client for Life when we renovated the Brent L. Miller Jewelers & Goldsmiths location on Manheim Pike in 2014. This project transformed an old automotive repair shop into a beautiful display room, complete with a new glass storefront and reimagined interior. This connection would soon bring Hamilton Watch back to downtown Lancaster through Ryan Miller, son of founder Brent Miller.
The revitalization of the abandoned automotive shop not only provided Brent Miller Jewelers with a stunning new space, but it also reignited the connection between Hamilton Watch and Warfel Construction.
In 2015, Warfel was introduced to Zamagias Properties, another new Client for Life. They were looking to reimagine 101 N Queen into a mixed-use property for commercial headquarters, retail space, and luxury condos. Construction began in mid-2017 with demolition to many existing features, leaving only the steel structure and floor decking.
With careful logistics and safety plans to work in the tight city space, the old façade was torn down, the building was renovated, and high-end finishes and design elements were installed. The project was completed in early 2020, and Cargas now occupies the large corporate office space, Starbucks shows visibly on the first-floor corner footprint, and various luxury condos overlook the city on the top floors.
In the above before photo, the Bulova logo can still be seen on each side of the corner facing the intersection.
2020s: Hamilton Returns to Lancaster
With connections formed and a value on recreating a strong historical presence in downtown Lancaster, the Hamilton Watch brand returned to the city with the opening of their N Duke Street location in July 2023.
With a passion for bringing Hamilton back to Lancaster, and a previous relationship formed through selling the brand at their jewelry store, Ryan Miller purchased the location, with Swatch Group as the tenant. The building had previously been the Ezra F. Bowman’s Sons retail watch shop and watchmaking school. Ryan’s father, Brent Miller, was a graduate of Bowman Technical School, which was located on the upper floors of the N Duke Street building.
Between Miller’s efforts and the Swatch Group’s desire to have a dedicated location for the Hamilton brand, they worked together to make this dream a reality. While the store was officially opened in 2023, it needed additional work to create a truly showstopping display room. The Swatch Group and Brent Miller Jewelers hired Warfel to enhance the new store, renovating cabinetry and interior finishes to complete the space.
The project started in February 2024 and was finished on time for the opening of the now complete Hamilton Watch boutique in July 2024.
The exterior of the N Duke Street location maintains the Bowman seal on the corner by the window. The new space is both a Hamilton Watch boutique and micro museum for the brand.
On Friday, October 11, Hamilton held a ribbon cutting for the store, followed by a reception. Team members from Hamilton Watch and Swatch Group took an historic horse and carriage ride around Lancaster before arriving at the event. Vivian Stauffer, CEO of Hamilton Watch, spoke about the history of watch making and Hamilton in Lancaster, reflecting much of the early history discussed above. Lancaster Mayor, Danene Sorace and Lancaster City Alliance President, Marshall Snively both spoke to commemorate the event. Many other community members attended to help Hamilton Watch celebrate their return to Lancaster.
Serving Clients Yesterday, Today, and into the Future
Our mission of Clients for Life® means doing such a good job on a project that our clients want to work with us again in the future. We’re proud of the almost century-long relationships we’ve formed with several clients, including Hamilton in all its many forms throughout the years.
While businesses change hands and move locations, the reputation created through fair business practices and quality service lives on. This is evident in Hamilton and Warfel’s business relationship, starting in 1941, continuing through the 20th century, and being reignited in 2024 through the relationships that were built along the way.
