Employees Invested. Literally.

Graham is 100% employee-owned. Our employee-owners are from all levels of the company, not just the executive or senior-management. This employee-ownership model fosters an entrepreneurial spirit and environment. A workplace where people are accountable to both themselves and their colleagues and have a genuine vested interest in the success of every project.

Purpose, Values & Culture

Our work is our calling. We strive to deliver unparalleled construction solutions because our purpose is to build a better world around us. Our projects enable people to live, work, move and grow in a rapidly changing world. To accomplish this, we build to the very highest standards of innovation, service, safety and quality. Only then do our communities flourish. And only then is our purpose fulfilled.

Since our founding, we have relied on our core values of Commitment, Integrity and Reliability to fulfill our purpose and to deliver added value to our clients.

Commitment. Our actions and promises align. We are diligent, collaborative, and approach challenges with unwavering determination.

Integrity. Honesty and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We build trust through principled actions, maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our relationships.

Reliability. Our colleagues, clients, partners and communities depend on us and we take that responsibility seriously. We work passionately to mitigate risks in order to deliver successful outcomes and make positive impacts.

A Culture of Caring & Collaboration

Whether it concerns our employees, the company, clients, reputation or each other: Graham people care.

Treating employees as a community has been a hallmark since the Graham family founded the company in 1926.

We collaborate with each other, our clients and vendor partners, and strive to be fair, understanding and reasonable in all circumstances.

We ‘walk the talk’ at all levels of the company mentoring people to develop like-minded values.

We are active and caring contributors to the communities in which we live and work.
