What We Do
After more than 25 years in the industry, Americon Construction joined the HITT Contracting family in August 2016. Now known as Americon HITT, we are operating as the company’s New York regional office. Since HITT’s inception in 1937, the firm has grown to become an award-winning turnkey construction company performing a wide range of services—from base building construction and renovation, to interior fit-out and service work. Ranked by ENR as one of the top 40 largest general contractors in the nation, HITT maintains offices in Atlanta, Charleston, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Raleigh, Richmond, Santa Clara, and Seattle. HITT’s growth is client-driven and their national success is a result of strong relationships. This acquisition is HITT’s first step towards expanding their New York footprint. Our team shares a dynamic drive to serve our clients to the best of our ability. The addition of HITT’s national resources will enable us to reach the next level in project scope, size, and volume in New York. Whether a new or repeat client, we assure you our approach to project management is still the same: deliver on promises and provide quality above expectation. With the expertise of our local New York team backed by the strength of a billion dollar firm, we’re excited to continue to grow with our clients. There is no limit to the number of industries operating in the Tri-state area. Our teams are equipped to tackle not only the multimillion dollar commercial projects, but also the smaller service, paint, and term contract work. What we do touches so many of the industries at play here in New York, providing construction services for corporate interiors, mission critical, law firms, hospitality, healthcare, higher education, Federal, and commercial mixed-use projects.
