What rand* construction does

rand* construction corporation is a privately held, woman-founded commercial general contractor specializing in high-end interior construction, tenant improvements, building renovations, and capital improvement projects for enterprise clients. Founded in 1989 by Linda Rabbitt in Alexandria, Virginia, the firm has grown from a regional DC-area interiors contractor into a national platform with eight regional offices across Washington DC Metro, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Salt Lake City, and Charlotte, and approximately $640 million in annual revenue as of 2026. It is recognized as the largest woman-founded, women-owned commercial general contractor in the United States.

The company delivers projects through four core service lines: preconstruction planning (budgeting, scheduling, value engineering, constructability reviews), general contracting and construction services, BIM/Virtual Construction technology for client and project team coordination, and sustainability services spanning LEED, Living Building Challenge, and WELL certifications. rand* was the first organization named a USGBC Proven Provider and has completed 150+ LEED projects. Its customer base spans law firms (Akin Gump, Arnold & Porter, Weil Gotshal, CohnReznick), technology firms (Q2 Holdings, Twitter, Zayo, Fullstory, Red Canary), coworking operators (Common Desk/WeWork, Firmspace), financial and professional services (JLL, FTI Consulting), and hospitality and real estate clients (Host Hotels, Netstreit, NADA).

Commercially, rand* operates on project-based professional services fees for custom-quoted commercial construction contracts, generating revenue through general contracting and construction management engagements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through eight regional offices, supported by a national accounts program that cross-sells multi-market engagements to repeat clients (146 repeat clients as of 2023). The firm maintains 251-500 employees and has averaged roughly 91-100 new hires annually in recent years, with a partner-level leadership bench holding LEED AP, PMP, and PE credentials. The company is entirely founder-owned with no external private equity or venture capital and has issued no public funding rounds.
