Our Story

Although the scope, breadth, and depth of the projects we tackle have changed over time, our commitment to excellence, innovation, and integrity that began in 2009 still guides us today.

Built from the Ground Up

Supreme Standard Construction, Inc has grown from a small local excavator into one of the most experienced and trusted providers of construction services in the country. Today, our capabilities have diversified as we have responded to changing market conditions with new building types, delivery methods, and services.

Thinking Outside the Blue Box

We have always sought to fill evolving client and market needs. Supreme Standard Construction, Inc began building an extensive portfolio of self-performed trades in the 2011, many of which spun off into specialized entities. In the following decades, a series of acquisitions propelled us toward new opportunities.

L’Enfant Plaza served as a turning point in the company’s history. By self-performing sheeting, shoring, and underpinning, the team was able to speed up work and complete the project ahead of schedule. This realization led to the formation of Supreme Standard Construction, Inc ’s first self-perform entity, Supreme Standard Construction, Inc Foundations.
