Clemens Construction Company Building with vision, grit, and heart since 1979. Clemens delivers complex urban construction with precision and pride.

Clemens Construction Company has been building with vision, grit, and heart since 1979. Headquartered in Philadelphia, we are a full-service general contractor specializing in complex urban infill, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, higher education, healthcare, hospitality, and multifamily residential projects. What sets Clemens apart is our ability to self-perform critical scopes through our in-house Carpentry Division, Millwork Shop, and Special Projects Group. This hands-on expertise gives us greater control over quality, schedule, and safety—especially on fast-paced or logistically challenging projects. Whether it’s a ground-up development, a high-end interior fit-out, or a renovation in an occupied healthcare facility, our teams deliver with precision and professionalism. We are proud to be a union contractor and one of the largest signatory carpentry contractors in Philadelphia. Our reputation has been built project by project, client by client—with much of our work coming from long-standing relationships and repeat clients who trust us to get the job done right. Clemens has consistently earned dozens of industry awards, a testament to our team’s commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and preservation. We know that every detail matters and that our reputation is only as strong as our last job. That’s why we show up every day ready to build smarter, safer, and better—for our clients and our community.

To navigate the challenges of this urban site, the team erected a construction material hoist along JFK Boulevard to efficiently transport materials to the rooftop.

Last week, the Clemens Construction team traded hard hats and safety vests for Hawaiian shirts and leis at our end-of-summer luau, aka our Annual Company BBQ! It was a fun afternoon filled with good food, cold drinks, great conversation, and plenty of laughs. As we head into the final stretch of the year, we want to thank our entire team for all their hard work and dedication in 2026. We appreciate you all — mahalo! 🌴🌊🥥

This year marked Clemens Construction's 20th Annual Charity Golf Outing at Harbor Pines GC, and the weather couldn't have been better. Plenty of drinks were had, lots of laughs were shared, and once again, we proved we're much better builders than golfers.

Together with our incredible trade partners and supporters, we raised a record $32,000 for Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School — The School That Works.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this milestone year such a success!
