ABOUT

An Enduring Legacy of Care.

Alexander Wolf & Son has enjoyed over one-hundred successful years working with architects, engineers, designers, and building owners throughout the New York metropolitan area, providing general construction, construction management, and pre-construction services. The result has been an impressive record of creative problem solving, project success, and a high level of satisfaction of its institutional, corporate, and non-for-profit clients. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, Alexander Wolf & Son is one of the most experienced and respected general contracting and construction management firms in the greater New York area. Today, few other companies can lay claim to a century’s worth of accomplishments in their competitive endeavors. Fewer still have achieved such long-standing success under the guidance of a founder’s descendants. As Alexander Wolf & Son continues its second century of service to the construction industry, its principals and staff enthusiastically anticipate a continuation of the declaration and commitment to excellence which has long earned AW&S a reputation of which all involved may justifiably be proud.
