Reed Construction was established by Thomas Reed in 1893, the year of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Since our inception, we have provided owners, developers and facility managers with high-quality construction solutions delivered on-time and within budget.

Today our firm, led by fifth generation President and CEO William T. Birck, is a full-service construction firm with extensive expertise in general contracting and design-build. Reed Construction remains committed to our original core values, which are best exemplified by our steadfast dedication to quality workmanship, professional management and ethical conduct.

Reed Charitable Foundation

Philanthropy and corporate social responsibility are cornerstones of Reed’s workplace philosophy. For this very reason, we created the Reed Charitable Foundation. We believe that giving back is an integral part of a well-rounded business approach and one that fosters a sense of community both internally and externally.

The Reed Construction team regularly sponsors and attends charitable events, providing support to a variety of local non-profit organizations and raising funds for those in need. Since inception, we have donated over $1 million to non-profit organizations near and dear to the hearts of our employees, clients and community.
