What ACC Construction Company, Inc. does

ACC Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned general contractor headquartered in Augusta, Georgia, founded in 1987 by Mason H. McKnight III and now operated with three fourth-generation McKnight family members serving as Vice Presidents (with Marshall McKnight also serving as CFO). The company specializes in federal government construction, particularly military and Special Operations Forces facilities, with a track record of over $1.3 billion in completed projects across 88 contracts and 879 jobsite locations. Its project portfolio includes barracks and training complexes at Fort Bragg, a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at USACAPOC Headquarters, a U.S. Embassy housing compound in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, training facilities at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and a Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility at Fort Leonard Wood, with multiple projects achieving LEED Silver or Gold certification. The company has also executed select private commercial work, most notably the Hyatt House Downtown in Augusta, Georgia.

The business model is project-based: ACC acquires work through competitive federal bidding (with a publicly accessible Bid Room portal on its website) and through formal contract awards from agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of State, and Department of Labor. Revenue is generated from one-time contract payments upon project completion; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through competitive bid processes. The company differentiates through a multi-generational McKnight leadership approach, on-time/under-budget execution, and a strong safety and quality record evidenced by repeated SASINC safety awards from the Corps of Engineers Savannah District and EXCEPTIONAL final ratings on flagship projects. ACC maintains no disclosed proprietary technology platform, app, or API; marketing is conducted through its corporate website (acccon.net), project portfolio, and federal contractor bidding channels such as SAM.gov. The company is privately held with no parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
