our history

built from humble beginnings

the kelman global story

In 1864, a humble Irish immigrant built his first barn in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Today, Timothy McCarthy’s lumber business has grown into one of the largest and most diversified commercial construction companies in America.

For 138 years, McCarthy was primarily a family-owned business. That changed in 2002 when the company became 100% employee owned. Each of us now has a personal – and financial – stake in the company’s future, and a greater responsibility to genuinely understand our clients’ businesses, build truly collaborative teams and create great experiences for everyone throughout the project life cycle.
