Who We are
Born and raised in the mountains of Colorado, Tate Locke acquired over 30 years of experience working in all aspects of the construction industry. In 2003 he came to Cedaredge, CO to build a retirement home for his parents. After spending time in the area Tate and his wife Julie, also a Colorado native, came to appreciate and love Western Colorado and all that it has to offer.
Tate and his dad, Bill Locke, formed a partnership to start the family-run business, Locke Construction, which eventually became Cristee-Meade Building Company. In 2010, co-founder Bill Locke passed away and since then, Tate and Julie have grown the family-run business. Over the past two decades, the company has built scores of new homes and completed numerous other projects, ranging from small jobs to major remodels and additions.
In 2014 the company purchased and remodeled a building on Hwy 65 in Cedaredge for their new office and showroom. Along with the new location, Locke Construction took the old family name: Cristee-Meade Building Company to honor its late founder, Bill Locke. Cristee-Meade, an established family name going back several generations, will serve as the foundation for future endeavors, while paying homage to family traditions and values.
