Core Purpose
to be the best builder in america
Being the best has been in our blood since Timothy McCarthy began building back in 1864. That desire has been passed down from generation to generation, and we reaffirmed this purpose when we transitioned to employee ownership. Today, this purpose continues to drive us forward and permeates all facets of our business – from the field to the office, from business development to preconstruction, operations and more. Sure, it’s an aspirational goal but that’s because the bar is always moving higher. We owe it to ourselves, our partners and our clients to continually improve. We will always be reaching higher, both individually and together.
Core Values
Our Core Values exemplify how we behave when we are at our best. These values embody how we behave both as individuals and together as a group. To be the best builder in America, we need to align our behavior with these three core values:
Genuine
respect for the work we do and the people who do it; recognized for being honest and following through on commitments
We, Not I
belief in the force multiplier (power) of teamwork and a consistent habit of sharing credit
All In
fully committed and a reputation as someone people can count on to do whatever it takes to get the job done
