High Construction Company

What High Construction Company does

High Construction Company is a privately held commercial general contractor headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, operating since 1931 (originally founded as High Welding Company). The firm is a subsidiary of High Companies, a diversified conglomerate whose sister entities include Greenfield Architects, High Associates, High Concrete Group, High Steel Service Center, High Erectors, and High Transit — an affiliated network that provides integrated preconstruction, design, precast, erection, and logistics capabilities. The company delivers four core service lines: preconstruction, design-build, construction management, and general contracting, primarily to enterprise clients in the Mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York).

The company's revenue is generated through professional services engagements on a project-by-project, quote-based pricing model. It serves a diversified mix of end-markets including multi-family residential, hospitality, industrial and manufacturing, higher education, commercial, senior living, and healthcare. Notable projects include the Penn State Health Children's Lancaster Pediatric Center (47,000 SF outpatient center), the UGI Utilities Lehigh Valley Operations Center (78,198 SF LEED Silver renovation), the Landis Place on King senior living development (79 apartments), the Hilton Garden Inn – Media, the AC Hotel by Marriott in Newtown Square, and warehouse fitouts for Kettle & Fire and AmsOil. The firm's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting developers, institutions, and property owners in eastern Pennsylvania and surrounding states.

High Construction Company operates with 11-50 employees and has built a cumulative portfolio exceeding 10 million square feet of commercial, industrial, hospitality, retail, and multifamily properties. Its underlying technology platform centers on 3D Building Information Modeling coordination for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural (MEP+S) trades, enabling early conflict identification and schedule protection. The firm holds multiple industry recognitions, including ABC Keystone Excellence in Construction awards (2019-2025), Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Journal Best of 2018 awards, and a seven-consecutive-year streak without an OSHA recordable injury. Michael J. Kreider serves as President following his August 2023 promotion from VP of Estimating and Preconstruction.
