Founded in 1965, Harkins has become an industry leader in negotiated and design-build construction. With annual revenues over $200 million and two locations serving the Mid-Atlantic region, Harkins has the capacity and bonding to meet the needs of our clients. Harkins is a diversified general contractor active in multifamily housing, senior living, institutional, military housing, and commercial construction. Harkins also has extensive experience in historical renovations and working with federal, state, and local governments.
Throughout Harkins’ history, our trademark has been the negotiated contract, which combines our preconstruction expertise with onsite professional management. Clients in need of solid long-term projections have come to rely on our ability to make preliminary estimates become reality and maximize quality for the least cost by our competitive bidding of subcontracts. Our way of doing business continues to produce a growing list of repeat clients.
The key to our successful business approach is the development of our people and the integration of estimating and construction services. The close and constant communication between estimating and construction during the life of the project, the tracking of detailed costs of all components for current and future reference, and the involvement of our construction people in the project’s final design stages enable us to continually improve and expand the services we provide. Associated Builders and Contractors have nationally recognized Harkins as an Accredited Quality Contractor for its commitment to safety, training, employee benefits, and community relations.
