About Us

Who Are We

At Beam General Contractors, we make your dreams real. As a trusted partner across every major construction sector, we deliver value-driven solutions through a full range of services — from pre-construction and general contracting to construction management and design-build delivery.

Founded in 1979 by David Beam, our company was built on a foundation of service, integrity, and long-standing relationships. Today, over 80% of our work comes from repeat clients — a testament to the trust we earn through collaboration and results.

Headquartered in the Raleigh-Durham area, we bring deep experience in both interior fit-outs and new commercial construction across sectors like office, education, healthcare, nonprofit, senior living, public service, hospitality, and industrial. We proudly hold unlimited general contractor licenses in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

We prioritize collaboration and value-driven choices to help owners make informed decisions that best serve their vision and budget. By redefining the construction experience through seamless teamwork and innovative solutions, we create lasting success for our clients and communities.
