What A.L. Post does

A.L. Post, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned commercial general contractor headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, providing design-build construction services for commercial, industrial, medical, dental, faith-based, hospitality, and historic preservation clients. Founded in 2001 by Leo Post, PE (Master's of Civil Engineering, 30 years of commercial construction experience) and his father Alexander Post (civil engineer for 50+ years), the firm integrates in-house licensed engineers and architects with self-performing field crews that handle concrete, finish carpentry, masonry, metal stud framing, rough carpentry, selective demolition, shoring/bracing, and structural steel opening reinforcement.

The company operates a project-based revenue model across fixed-price and cost-plus contracts, with revenue streams from construction work and bundled design services earned on a one-time per-project basis. Customers range from small dental and orthodontic practices (e.g., Netter Family Dental, Braces Braces Braces, Mortenson Dental) up to enterprise and government accounts such as Northwestern Mutual, Charles Schwab, Louisville Geek, YouFit, Starbucks, the Veterans Administration, SimonMed Imaging, and the National Society Sons of the American Revolution. Bonding capacity stands at $20 million per single project, supported by $2M general liability, $5M umbrella, $4M workers compensation, and $1M professional liability coverage.

A.L. Post pursues projects through direct enterprise sales, competitive bidding, RFP responses, and professional network referrals across nine U.S. states (Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho), with cumulative contracts executed and initiated in excess of $190 million since inception. The firm carries no institutional capital, has not raised outside funding, and remains family-controlled with 11–50 employees. Marketing is primarily portfolio-driven through its website, Facebook, and Instagram, with no channel partners, resellers, or app/API distribution.

• Lithko Contracting: Regional commercial concrete and general contractor with self-performing crews across multiple states. Comparable in operating model (self-perform trades, multi-state reach) and focused on commercial and industrial work.
• Hoar Construction: Birmingham/Houston-based commercial GC with healthcare, retail, multifamily, and institutional project experience. Similar mid-size regional model with multi-state reach comparable to A.L. Post's nine-state footprint.
