Our Rich History Established in 1923, Frank L. Blum Construction Company has been a trusted building partner to owners across North Carolina for generations. Our 100-year-old firm has a solid reputation for partnering with the most exacting owners and excelling at the most complex projects. Many iconic and beloved buildings bear the Blum Construction imprint of fine craftsmanship on the original structure or its subsequent renovation or restoration.
Our organization’s beginnings were humble. When Frank Blum founded the company, he listed just a few assets, including a Ford automobile, two concrete mixers, one team of mules, and a wagon and harness. Growing throughout the challenges of the 1930’s and 1940’s, the company overcame Mr. Blum’s sudden death in 1954. Employees rallied to carry on the Blum tradition of excellence. A new generation of leaders carried the company through a new era and positioned it to become one of the most stable and respected businesses in North Carolina. Blum’s current team of partners is leading our growth throughout North Carolina and beyond, and is ready to take Blum Construction through its next one hundred years.
