American Constructors, a Certified Small Business, was founded in 1979 with the objective to build quality facilities for select clients in an open and honorable way. Over the last 43 years we have completed over 700 projects in excess of $3 billion dollars. We are as known for our numerous educational, civic, religious and healthcare facilities as we are for building such landmarks as the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. We were founded as an employee-owned company and remain so today, which means all of us have a vested interest in being client-focused and achieving excellence on every project.

Diversity

American Constructors is a firm that values cultural differences and adheres to policies and practices that are designed to foster an environment in which all employees are full participants. We stand side-by-side with our clients and other businesses and institutions to promote programs that contribute to achieving diversity in the construction industry.

To thrive as a business, we must embrace cultural differences through education and by building stronger relationship, as well as leveraging our internal and external resources and ensuring a commitment to diversity. Doing so allows us to continue to be a leader in the construction industry, attract the best talent from all backgrounds to our company, and allow those individuals to bring with them new ideas and innovations that can only enhance our company.

Vendor diversity is also a key factor in helping define how we do business in today’s marketplace. Embracing diversity will help us compete for the best talent, enhance our ability to create new revenue streams, increase our vendor base, win clients and maintain our position as marketplace leaders.

An initiative that will support our Merit Shop Philosophy; that all contracts be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
