Ed Myers, President & CEO
Industrial Constructors/Managers, Inc. (ICM, Inc.)
Values
- Honesty- A personnel judgement call that is fair and rewarding to all involved.
- Integrity- I will say what I mean and stand behind it. Words and actions are one and the same.
- Humility- Listen intently, answer slowly and I promise not to condescend. I will strive to improve daily for there is always room for improvement.
- Teamwork- Discuss and brainstorm with an open mind and honesty. Ideas will be different. Be strong for the good of the team and in the end support the team’s decision and do not second guess it.
Priorities
- Commitment- Commit to client needs, team members and the success of the project at hand. Commit to an outcome of on time and under budget.
- Safety- Send people home to their loved ones in the same shape (maybe tired) as when they reported for work. Everyone is your brother’s keeper because it is the right reason.
- Quality- It is what is expected when a client pays for a product and service and gives credibility to INTEGRITY. A quality job or service is a safe job done.
- Relationships- Our company is relationship based and the key to growth both personally and professionally. Success of the company revolves around strong, open relationships with clients, subcontractors and vendors.
Operating Principles
- Communication- Open, honest and to the point. Communication will be well thought out, researched and free flowing.
- Accountability- Deliver what is promised for the credibility and trust that will follow.
- Lifelong Student- Through trial and error you will get better. Listen, own, and become the solution the team will remember for the future.
- Feedback- Honest constructive feedback will be given for cultivating teamwork. Give corrections with suggestions and reasoning. Lay the foundation for buy in.
- Fun- Life is short enjoy what you do.
Expectations

- Great Attitude- Uplift and encourage the team to make better accountability and relationships.
- Be Proactive- Anticipate, look for and problem solve potential issues. Ask for guidance if needed.
Non-negotiables
- Safety Disobedience- Overlooking safety is unacceptable. It will be the quickest way to search for a new company.
- Discontent- Spreading discontent and gossiping in private is a sure ticket to unfavorable attention. Pledge loyalty.
- Taking Advantage- Taking advantage of goods and services for the benefit of oneself to the detriment of the company and others on the team will not be tolerated.
- Disrespect- All humans deserve respect, and it is expected at all times at work and company functions.
Buzz Kills
- Tardiness- Everyone’s time is valuable. Being late for appointments or meetings wastes time and is energy draining. Don’t be that person.
- Repeat mistakes- Mistakes are beneficial but only if you learn not to continually repeat them. Become a lifelong student and archive the hard-won wins for future reference.
- Over Talk- Repeatedly talking over others and not giving others the opportunity to speak breaks down communication and creates chaos.
- Being Unprepared- Unpreparedness can be catastrophic, leading to loss of clarity and forward progress.
- Unresponsiveness- Not answering messages or e-mails is unprofessional and rude. Others’ time and efforts are valuable. Please be courteous for one day you may need input from them. Build trust and relationships.
Commitment
My commitment is written into this document to give all of ICM insight on my priorities and how we will treat each other, clients and vendors. As I give feedback, I expect feedback in return. Believe me when I say I too fall and need help getting back up. Let’s make a difference!

Founder
Burnie Zercher
Burnie Zercher is Chairman of the Board and the Founder of ICM. He started the company in 1983 with just two employees.
Burnie was born and raised in Colorado Springs and graduated from John Brown University in Arkansas. He started his career as a superintendent at a construction company in Pueblo, working on projects at the Pueblo Steel Mill. When the steel market crashed in 1982, the mill had enough work to keep Burnie but not the construction company he worked for, which is how ICM was born.
Burnie actively volunteers in the community and is passionate about early childhood issues and education advocacy. He helped start EPIC – Executives Partnering to Invest in Children, has served on several boards and is very involved with the local Rotary Club. Burnie loves to cook and his ideal vacation would be a week at the Culinary Institute of America.
