Russell Construction History

Steve Russell founded Russell Construction of Alabama, Inc. in 1983 and in the 40 years since inception has built a company of men and women of exceptional character and construction capability. Our completed projects have satisfied customers as diverse as the entire construction industry, including Wal-Mart, PowerSouth Energy, Baptist Hospital, Jackson Hospital, Community Health Services (multiple campuses), Auburn University, Faulkner University, Purina, 50 local churches, and hundreds of other project owners and developers.

Quality is our cornerstone. The word “quality” is used so casually today, it is almost a cliché. Everyone claims to believe in it, but at Russell Construction we have built a successful business by making quality the cornerstone of everything we do. In every size project and in every aspect of the project, we bring quality to the job every day. It’s an approach that has brought us remarkable success. Now in our fourth decade, we have grown to be a major construction company handling some of the most demanding – and unique – projects in the Southeast.

We serve our customers with delivery methods to suit their needs. We constantly work with architects throughout the Southeast to carry out their designs and assist them with our knowledge of construction methods, materials, time frames, and costs. We also provide companies, groups, and individuals with Construction Management services, complete Design-Build services, or typical general contracting depending on the needs of the client. We can take your project from start to finish or handle all aspects including design, site location, zoning and building code compliance, financing, budgeting and, of course, the construction itself.

We provide exceptional service. We have put together a team of quality people. Our staff is comprised of experienced professionals dedicated to sound project management and cost efficiency. We work every day to Partner with our customers and deliver the exceptional service they deserve.
