A.P. Construction Company

What A.P. Construction Company does

A.P. Construction Company is a privately held construction management and general contracting firm founded in 1981 and headquartered at 707 Summer Street, Stamford, CT. It operates as the construction division of The Ashforth Company, a family-controlled real estate development firm with over 100 years of history in Greenwich, CT, and serves institutional, commercial, private club, healthcare, multifamily, senior living, and municipal clients across Fairfield County and Southern Connecticut, Westchester County NY, and the Hudson Valley NY. The firm is ranked #26 in the 2023 ENR New England Top Contractors list and has executed more than 200 projects regionally over its operating history, including the $30 million Greenwich Crossing redevelopment, the $22 million Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich renovation, and the $16 million Stamford Museum & Nature Center Planetarium & Astronomy Center.

The core service offering combines preconstruction services (cost estimating, constructability review, value engineering, pre-purchase programs), construction management (oversight, scheduling, safety, subcontractor coordination, quality control), and lump-sum or cost-plus general contracting across ground-up construction, renovations, and adaptive reuse. Underlying technical capability centers on managing complex, technically demanding projects—such as vibration-sensitive planetarium construction and occupied-occupancy renovations for private clubs and nonprofits—rather than proprietary software or platform technology.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue. Fees are generated as a percentage of construction cost under construction management agreements, or under lump-sum / cost-plus arrangements for general contracting; pricing is project-specific via competitive bidding or negotiation, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Customer acquisition is driven by direct enterprise sales, repeat-client relationships, referrals, and a captive pipeline from parent The Ashforth Company, supported by a regional brand presence through LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and a portfolio-oriented company website. The firm employs 51-100 people and is led by Andrew B. Ashforth (CEO & President), Michael Mallett (COO, hired April 2025), and Thomas J. Walsh III (EVP).
