Chamberlain Construction

What Chamberlain Construction does

Chamberlain Construction Corporation is a privately held general contractor founded in 1977 by Gary Camp and headquartered in Virginia, with operations licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. The firm delivers pre-construction services, design-build, construction management, general contracting, and tenant renovation services across religious, educational, government, healthcare, office/retail, industrial, and mission-critical facilities. Named project experience includes work for Verizon, the U.S. Postal Service, the Naval Research Laboratory, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, Ashburn Volunteer Fire & Rescue, Fairfax Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Avis, Transamerica Development Co., The Business Bank, and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, spanning both new construction and interior renovation scopes (e.g., a 106,000 sq ft R&D park and a 35,085 sq ft fire/rescue facility). The firm operates an in-house custom millwork shop that produces casework and architectural woodwork supporting its building projects.

The business model is project-based revenue derived from negotiated and competitively bid general construction contracts, construction management engagements, and design-build deliveries to a mix of public-sector (federal and local government) and private institutional, commercial, and religious clients. The firm sells on relationships and track record in the VA/MD/DC region rather than through a national brand or technology platform, with industry recognition (ABC Excellence in Construction, Washington Building Congress Cornerstone Award, AIA design awards) reinforcing its positioning as a mid-sized regional general contractor. Ownership transferred in 2006 from founder Gary Camp to two long-time employees, Bromley and Kempler, reflecting a privately held, employee-led operating structure.
