History + Ownership

Established in 1923, Frank L. Blum Construction Company has been a trusted building partner to owners in North Carolina and Virginia for generations. With the lowest actively-used general contractor license number in the state of North Carolina - License #18 - the firm has a solid reputation for weathering the most challenging economies, 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.

The firm was founded in 1923 with company assets -as listed by Frank L. Blum himself -including a Ford automobile, two concrete mixers, one team of mules, a wagon and harness. Through the economic challenges of the 1930s, the turbulent war years in the ‘40s, Mr. Blum’s sudden death and rally of employees to save the company in the ‘50s, the company has endured and succeeded in hard times.

The firm was incorporated in 1954 after the death of Mr. Blum, when employees bought shares in the company to keep it in business. It has remained an employee-owned firm ever since. Blum Construction has grown to be one of North Carolina’s most trusted builders by focusing on its Core Values – a commitment to unparalleled integrity and ethics, client service, pride in our workmanship, operational excellence, safety in the workplace, and lifelong learning.

Blum takes great pride in its work and its dedication to the community, its clients, and each other. We understand that our people are our greatest asset.
