A.C. Schommer & Sons, established in 1937, is a family-owned construction company based in Portland, Oregon. Initially founded during the tail end of The Great Depression by Andy Schommer, the company embarked on building new homes across the Portland metropolitan area.

Schommer & Sons has built a reputation as one of the largest construction firms in the Portland area, known for handling larger projects for notable clients, including Electro Scientific Industries and the Hilton Portland Downtown. The company gained national recognition for significant projects such as the Rockwood House and has extended its services into telecommunications infrastructure with a specialized team focused on building cell towers.
Throughout its history, A.C. Schommer & Sons has been recognized for excellence, receiving prestigious awards like the Build America Award for notable projects including the Portland Classical Chinese Garden and the Domaine Serene Clubhouse.
