About
Established in 1914 and continuously operating for over 110 years, P.J. Hoerr, Inc. is one of central Illinois's most tenured commercial construction and contracting firms, serving Peoria and surrounding communities including Bloomington-Normal, Galesburg, and the broader Illinois market. For facility managers and property owners overseeing complex commercial portfolios, P.J. Hoerr brings century-deep institutional knowledge to electrical and construction scopes across some of the region's most demanding project types. Their portfolio spans healthcare campuses such as Graham Hospital renovations and the Trillium Place Young Minds Center — a Carle Health affiliate — where power distribution, panelboard coordination, and code-compliant electrical infrastructure are critical to patient safety and USP800 regulatory compliance. Education projects including Illinois Central College's Workforce Sustainability Center and multiple Knox College renovations demonstrate P.J. Hoerr's ability to manage switchgear, lighting systems, and low-voltage data infrastructure within occupied, phased construction environments. Multifamily and senior living work, such as the Christian Buehler Memorial Home four-story addition, requires coordinated electrical service entrances, emergency backup generator integration, and life safety system compliance — all hallmarks of sophisticated commercial electrical execution. Institutional and civic projects like the Normal Fire Department Headquarters and Bloomington-Normal YMCA underscore their experience with mission-critical facilities where power reliability is non-negotiable. P.J. Hoerr's multi-site coverage across central and western Illinois positions them as a reliable partner for regional property managers and general contractors seeking consistent quality across geographically dispersed projects. With a stated commitment to superior workmanship, workplace safety, and client service refined over more than a century, P.J. Hoerr offers facility managers a contractor with proven staying power and the operational depth to handle large-scale commercial electrical scopes from ground-up construction to complex renovation.
