BL Harbert International, LLC, which began operations in 2000, has grown to be a well diversified construction company working in a wide range of construction markets both in the U.S. and abroad.  The company is one of Alabama’s most influential contractors, a leader in sustainable construction, and a top design-builder.

The development of our extensive construction capabilities has a long and storied history, beginning in 1949 when brothers John and Bill Harbert, along with Ed Dixon, founded the original Harbert Construction Company.  It was their foresight and love of construction that laid the strong foundation for our operations in the various construction markets in which we participate today.   From those early days the abiding trust that these construction pioneers placed in the skills and abilities of our employees has been passed on through the years creating the corporate culture we enjoy today.   Our company is firmly grounded in Alabama; our roots in the community are deep, while we possess those unique capabilities to build anything, anytime and anywhere in the world.

The growth that the company is able to sustain throughout a wide range of operations has at its core a very decentralized decision-making and management operating philosophy. This in turn has led to the formation of two distinct operating groups: the U.S. Construction Group and the International Construction Group.



BL Harbert's International Group provides preconstruction, design-build and MEP engineering services for U.S. Government secure facilities, civil/industrial, commercial and hospitality clients in various locations throughout the world. We have successfully completed in excess of $2 billion in project work over the past 10 years, with an additional $1.5 billion currently under construction.

 

We self-perform all work around the globe, ensuring the quality, safety and on-time delivery of every project we undertake, even in difficult situations, under threats of embargo, in times of war, and in any type of harsh environmental climate.

We have our own in-house logistics department, a division unto itself that controls and regulates delivery of materials to every corner of the earth.

We handle design-build and MEP in-house, with more than 50 key management employees, including a sustainability coordinator, ensuring that each project is as efficient and sustainable as it can possibly be.
