The BEAM Benefits
Family Owned. We’re a family-owned business that values customer satisfaction, uncompromising safety standards and solid business ethics.
Right Sized. With 90 full-time employees, we’re large enough to handle the complexities of major commercial builds – and small enough to maintain direct involvement from our owners.

Comprehensive Services. With projects throughout the Carolinas, we offer the following services:
- Design/Build
- Construction Management at Risk
- General Contracting Services
- Masonry Construction for General Contractors
Green Friendly. We’re committed to building energy-efficient, sustainable structures that save dollars and preserve precious natural resources.
We built the first LEED-Certified project in Gaston County and the first LEED Gold project in Mecklenburg County.
