AR Construction

What AR Construction does

AR Construction (legal entity A.R. Construction, LLC) is a private general contractor founded in 2021 by Aaron Reed and headquartered at 441 Robb Street, McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. The firm provides integrated furnish-and-install solutions for commercial interior projects, specializing in CSI Divisions 8 (doors and openings), 10 (specialties), and 12 (furnishings), and bundles preconstruction, design-build, sustainability, lean construction, safety, and project management into a single accountable workflow. Its stated differentiator is structural integration with Reed Building Supply — a sister company also founded by Aaron Reed — which provides AR Construction with logistics, inventory access, and purchasing power typically unavailable to a firm of its size. AR Construction holds Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certifications, positioning it for diversity-mandated public-sector and affordable housing work.

The company generates revenue through project-based construction services on a quote-based pricing model, with no public pricing available. Revenue is concentrated in Western Pennsylvania across a mix of general contractor clients, public agencies, developers, and commercial teams. Named projects include drywall and exterior panel subcontracting on the Castlegate Green multifamily development (Allegheny County Housing Authority), drywall installation on the $1.75 million Braddock Carnegie Library renovation (Jendoco Construction, BCLA), drywall work on the 51-unit Gladstone Residences adaptive-reuse housing project (The Community Builders and multiple state/local agencies), insulation and drywall on the 337 46th St. apartment renovation in Lawrenceville (Krotec Construction, DXB Ventures), and general contracting for the Cafe On The Corner restaurant renovation. The firm is privately held, privately funded (no external investors disclosed), and operates with 1-10 employees under leadership of founder and president Aaron Reed and general manager Gene Boyer III.

Regional players

• A. Martini & Co. Pittsburgh-based commercial general contractor with a long track record across office, retail, healthcare, and industrial buildouts. Comparable as a regional incumbent competing for interior fit-out and tenant-improvement scope overlapping with AR Construction's Divisions 8/10/12 specialty work.
• Rycon Construction: Pittsburgh-based general contractor specializing in commercial, healthcare, education, and multifamily construction. Comparable because it competes for similar preconstruction and design-build assignments in the same regional market where AR Construction sources its pipeline.
• Massaro Corporation: Pittsburgh-based construction management and general contracting firm serving commercial, education, healthcare, and historic-preservation clients. Comparable because it pursues the same preconstruction/construction-management delivery model and competes on Western PA adaptive-reuse and institutional work like Braddock Library.
• Landau Building Company: Pittsburgh-based design-build and construction management firm serving commercial, healthcare, and senior-living clients. Comparable because it competes in the same regional preconstruction and design-build delivery mode and overlaps on multifamily/senior housing projects in Western PA.
• PJ Dick Incorporated: One of the largest Western Pennsylvania GCs with a diversified commercial, multifamily, and hospitality portfolio. Comparable as a regional incumbent that AR Construction would compete with — or increasingly work alongside — on apartment, mixed-use, and institutional projects in the Pittsburgh metro.
• Mascaro Construction: Pittsburgh-based general contractor with deep Western PA roots across commercial, healthcare, and higher-education work. Directly comparable because it competes for the same GC and design-build assignments in AR Construction's home market, often on multifamily, institutional, and adaptive-reuse projects.

Broad incumbents

• Whiting-Turner Contracting Company: Large national contractor with strong Mid-Atlantic and Pennsylvania presence across commercial, healthcare, education, and multifamily work. Comparable as a broad incumbent bidding for the same Western Pennsylvania institutional and multifamily projects AR Construction supports as a subcontractor.
• Turner Construction Company: National commercial construction manager and design-build firm with significant Pittsburgh-area operations. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose specialty contractors and interior fit-out divisions compete for the same furnish-and-install scope AR Construction targets, even though it operates at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Jendoco Construction Corporation: Pittsburgh-based general contractor and construction manager that partnered with AR Construction on the $1.75M Braddock Library renovation. Directly comparable as a prime GC that hires AR Construction as a specialty subcontractor — illustrating the relationship AR Construction is seeking to scale.
• Wilco Construction: Regional Pennsylvania general contractor partnered with AR Construction across multiple projects including Braddock Library and Cafe On The Corner. Directly comparable as a GC counterpart that AR Construction supports — and is a candidate future acquirer or merger partner for an interior specialty roll-up.
