CHOOSING BETTER WAYS TO BUILD
At Tooles-Allied, we take pride in how our people conduct themselves with integrity while delivering excellence to clients and communities. Our approach to ethical behavior and compliance with local laws and regulations is recognized in the industry, and we maintain an unwavering commitment to SAFETY, integrity and product distinction. Our success only comes when we hold true to our shared purpose and core values.
OUR CORE VALUES
SAFETY FIRST
We are a company that emphasizes SAFETY above all else, and believes that keeping teams safe is a shared responsibility.

We are committed to setting industry standards for safe and responsive services that provide value and expeditious delivery to our clients, the first time around.

INSTILL INTEGRITY
We maintain our commitment to the highest standard of ethics and integrity in all that we do, every day of the year.
BUILDING OUR COMPANY ON A FOUNDATION OF SAFETY
SAFETY, cost, scheduling, quality and productivity are all integral parts of the construction process. We believe that the same “basic management” that brings a job in on time and under budget should also bring it in safely.
At Tooles-Allied, our philosophies of “Building Better Through Basic Management” or “Strong SAFETY” and “People-Based SAFETY” are the cornerstones of company operations and our continued success.
A STRONG SAFETY PROGRAM:
- Protects the company’s most valuable asset, its employees.
- Eliminates unexpected interruptions in the work process, allowing for more accurate scheduling.
- Reduces insurance costs, thereby making Tooles more competitive.
- Makes the work force feel more confident and secure, improving quality and productivity.
- Prevents incident-related disruptions, reducing job cost and increasing profitability.
- Reduces unnecessary legal and financial burdens of the owner, improving the Tooles image among potential and current clients.
A PEOPLE-BASED SAFETY PROGRAM:
- Promotes a “want to” engagement with regard to SAFETY as opposed to a “have to” compliance with it.
- Focuses on promoting a positive attitude for success as opposed to a failure-avoidance culture.
- Promotes “fact finding” not “fault finding.” Most behaviors are the result of the system, not the cause of the problem.
- Helps first line supervisors to be SAFETY coaches by encouraging them to focus on positive SAFETY activities such as pre-task planning, toolbox talks and encouraging positive feedback.
- Celebrates SAFETY achievements but focuses on the process that gets us there.
CONSTANTLY IMPROVING
In an effort to maintain the highest quality SAFETY program in the industry, this program is reviewed annually for areas of deficiency or, more frequently, to identify possibilities for proactive improvements. Additionally, in any areas of discrepancy between this policy and state, federal or customer requirements, the highest standards will be enforced.
PROMOTING AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT
As a minority-owned firm, Tooles-Allied Contracting takes pride in ensuring the participation of other small, minority and women qualified firms in our projects. In fact, we consistently meet and exceed participation goals on our projects. This is done by our continual tracking of participation throughout each project to guarantee we are maintaining the requirements of our clients.
Tooles-Allied is committed to making sure that our workforce is diverse and inclusive of the communities in which we do business and have developed a strong database of prequalified suppliers and subcontractors to ensure diverse inclusion within our bidding process. This allows us to not only enhance our presence within the local supplier/subcontractor community, but build long-lasting relationships with each other and our clients.
