Founded in 1938, ABEL Construction Company Inc. started as a small residential repair business called Abel & Sons, Inc. Today, it stands as one of the largest and most respected contractors in the Kentuckiana region, specializing in general contracting, construction management, design-build, and facilities maintenance. The company was established by William M. Abel, who transformed his competitive spirit into a successful family-run enterprise that has evolved over eight decades. Under the leadership of the Abel family, the company has expanded its operations by founding Advance Ready Mix Concrete and introducing advanced equipment for comprehensive construction services.
ABEL Construction prides itself on maintaining high standards of project scheduling and construction excellence. This is rooted in their commitment to delivering projects on time, within budget, and at superior quality—principles established by William Abel himself. As a fourth-generation family-owned business, ABEL Construction continues to prioritize relationships and trust, emphasizing that no other construction company can match their dedication to client satisfaction.
As of 2018, ABEL Construction Company also became a certified Woman Business Enterprise, further enriching its legacy under the stewardship of Bill Abel Jr. and his wife, Amy. Their approach to construction is characterized by innovative thinking and a commitment to sustainability, supporting various projects including real estate development and LEED consulting. With a keen focus on building partnerships rather than merely executing projects, ABEL Construction combines cutting-edge technology with skilled professionals to ensure that every venture reflects their core values of efficiency, trust, and quality. Through generations of expertise and adaptability to economic cycles, ABEL Construction continues to define the construction industry in Kentucky, standing strong on the foundation laid nearly a century ago.
