Atlantic Constructors Boosts Modular Construction Capacity with $25 Million HQ Expansion

In a strategic move to enhance its capabilities, Atlantic Constructors, Inc. (ACI), a leading contractor in the commercial and industrial sectors, has announced a remarkable $25 million investment in expanding its headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. This expansion features the addition of a new building encompassing an impressive 170,000 square feet, which is directly adjacent to the current headquarters and fabrication facility of the same size. This decision not only signifies a commitment to growth but also the emphasis on innovation and efficiency in modular construction.

A Shift Towards Modular Construction

The newly inaugurated facility aims to bolster ACI's capacity for modular construction, a pivotal area of growth for the company. With rising demand for offsite assemblies and prefabrications, ACI is poised to significantly enhance its production capabilities. Modular construction involves fabricating components such as ductwork, piping, plumbing, and steel structures in precise accordance with client specifications, while concurrent work is being undertaken at the construction site. This not only streamlines operations but also improves quality control and reduces on-site installation time.

Evan Shriver, CEO of ACI, emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion: “We knew that modular was where the industry was headed, and we doubled down on our long-term commitment to be on the leading edge of this advanced building method.” Approximately half of the new building will focus solely on modular fabrication and assembly, translating to roughly 250,000 square feet dedicated to this innovative construction approach.

Enhanced Capacity and Global Reach

Following the completion of this expansion, ACI will have the capacity to produce five times as much modular construction, consolidating all operations under one roof and utilizing their workforce, renowned for excellence in this sector. With this elevated capability, ACI is positioned to extend its reach far beyond the Mid-Atlantic, targeting national and even international markets.

In addition to enhancing their expansion capabilities, ACI plans to transport modular fabrications across the United States, and projects can even be shipped internationally. This competitive edge enables ACI to broaden its horizon, catering to a myriad of clients and projects globally.

Ready for Future Growth

As 2025 approaches, ACI’s expansion in Richmond sets the stage for an exciting growth trajectory for the upcoming years. The additional space and added capabilities will enable ACI to provide comprehensive construction solutions that support their clients in achieving their goals and visions. “We want to provide the construction solutions that ultimately help our customers reach their goals and achieve their missions, and now we can do that everywhere,” Shriver concluded.

In conclusion, Atlantic Constructors, Inc. continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction through significant investments in infrastructure and capabilities, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of the construction industry.
