What Royal American Construction Company, Inc. does

Royal American Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned full-service construction company founded in 1968 in Panama City, Florida, by Joseph F. Chapman, III and now led by his successor Joey Chapman as President. The firm provides site development, design-build, construction management, and pre-construction consulting services, with a portfolio spanning multifamily residential new construction and rehabilitation, commercial buildings (offices, banks, schools, sports parks, educational centers), and specialized infrastructure including water/sewer/storm utilities, maritime construction and pile driving, underground utility services (Air-Vac systems, Jack & Bores up to 36", Insert-A-Valve/Hot Taps), and demolition. It also operates an ancillary dumpster and disposal rental business under the racdisposal services brand.

The company employs over 100 in-house staff, including 16 dedicated estimators and schedulers, more than 50 field personnel, project managers, and superintendents, and operates technology including Primavera scheduling software and AutoCAD with plotter for design response. Project schedules are updated weekly based on field-generated daily reports. The firm holds three Florida contractor licenses (general contracting, certified building, and underground utility/excavation), providing regulatory credentials across core service lines.

Royal American generates revenue through project-based, bid-driven contracts with property developers, municipalities, and utility companies, primarily across Florida and the broader Southeast US. It has completed over 200 projects since inception and currently has active multifamily projects in multiple Florida markets including Miami, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, and Ft. Lauderdale. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, and bids are submitted via a dedicated estimating email channel.
