About Harris Construction
Building excellence since 1990 - Three decades of innovation, quality, and trust
Our Story
Harris Construction was founded in 1990 by James Harris with a simple yet powerful vision: to deliver construction projects that exceed expectations in quality, innovation, and client satisfaction. What began as a small local contractor in Richmond, Virginia, has grown into an international construction powerhouse with offices spanning three continents.
Over the past three decades, we have built our reputation one project at a time, earning the trust of clients through unwavering commitment to excellence, transparent communication, and exceptional craftsmanship. From our humble beginnings, we have evolved into a full-service construction company capable of handling projects of any scale and complexity.
Today, Harris Construction stands as a testament to what can be achieved through dedication, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Our expansion to Manchester, UK in 2005 and Jordbro, Sweden in 2012 reflects our commitment to bringing world-class construction services to clients across the globe.
