Diversity

Our Difference Makes Us Stronger

When a wide variety of cultures, backgrounds and opinions interconnect in a true teamwork environment, a broad spectrum of ideas and solutions emerge. 

Our History

More Than 150 Years of Learning, Building and Growing – To Meet the Needs of Our Clients

In 1864, Irish immigrant Timothy McCarthy began a small business building barns and farmhouses in Ann Arbor, Michigan. One hundred and fifty years later, we’re a top commercial builder, but we owe our growth to our clients and partners.
