A G Construction Co history

Helfmann continued to manage the business, often without consulting his new co-owners or Balthasar's son Fritz Helfmann, who joined the executive management board in 1897.

In 1903, for example, in just five months, the company built a hall for a festival in Frankfurt that was big enough to house over 9000 people.

Hugo Stinnes, one of Germany's most powerful businessmen, was among the representatives who negotiated the agreement in 1920.

In 1924 Hochtief's name was changed to Hochtief Aktiengesellschaft für Hoch- und Tiefbauten vorm.

One of the most prestigious projects during this period was construction of a large stretch of the Albert Canal in Belgium in 1929.

1950: Hochtief begins building nuclear power plants.

1970: Hochtief becomes involved in airport construction.

Worth over DM 10 billion, this was the biggest construction contract ever given to a single company; it was begun in 1974 and finished ten years later.

AG Construction, Inc. was founded in the late 1980’s when Alberto Garcia, the company CEO, began his own construction company.

Our company goal for every project, big or small, has remained the same since 1988: build safe, on time, and within budget while staying true to our customer's vision.

1995: Hochtief wins the Athens International Airport project.
