Hueber-Breuer Construction Co., Inc.

Hueber-Breuer Construction Co., Inc. is a family-owned general construction, construction management and design-build contractor headquartered at 148 Berwyn Ave in Syracuse, New York. Founded in 1872 and still managed by the fifth and sixth generations of the founding family, the company describes itself as the largest continuously operating family-owned general construction and construction management firm in Central New York. Its work spans commercial, industrial, housing, public-safety and institutional projects, and it markets four core service lines: Construction Management, Design-Build, General Contracting and Development. The firm positions itself as an owner's advocate. In Construction Management it works exclusively for the owner, providing guidance on design efficiency, cost analysis, schedule durations, contractor coordination and quality control. In Design-Build it offers a single point of responsibility for both design and construction, a delivery method it says it has pioneered and led for more than 30 years. As a General Contractor it coordinates specialty trades — steel workers, masons, plumbers, painters and others — from start to finish. Through its Development arm it also develops commercial real estate rather than only building for others. A distinctive specialty is its Division of Fire Protection Services, created to help emergency responders obtain current, safe operating facilities. Since 2005 the division reports having completed 22 fire stations totaling over $100 million in projects delivered "on time and under budget," supported by a team that includes construction-based project managers, active and retired fire chiefs, project coordinators and training-facilities consultants. The firm also offers disaster recovery services and feasibility studies. Safety and quality are central to its public positioning. Hueber-Breuer states it has been ranked #1 in project safety for 15 consecutive years by the Associated General Contractors of New York State. Its stated values are caring, safety, quality, integrity and innovation. Recent and representative projects cited on its website include the TTM Technologies industrial facility, the INSPYRE Innovation Hub, the Mayflower housing project, the Great Sacandaga Lake Fire District fire station, the Nexus Center (host of the 2024 World Box Lacrosse Championships, delivered via design-build), and a downtown Syracuse bus transfer hub built under construction management. The company operates a Bid Room for subcontractors to review current project bids, maintains a media and careers presence, and runs an annual Volunteer Day as part of its community-giving commitment. It is a private, family-owned business and is not publicly listed.

Hueber-Breuer Construction Co., Inc. was founded in 1872 in Syracuse, New York, and has remained in continuous operation since. The company is currently managed by the fifth and sixth generations of the founding family, making it, by its own account, the largest continuously operating family-owned general construction and construction management company in Central New York. Over its long history the firm has evolved from traditional general contracting into a broader provider of construction services. It became an early proponent of design-build delivery, a method in which a single organization is responsible for both design and construction; the company states it has been a pioneer and leader of this project delivery system for over 30 years. It also built a construction management practice in which it works exclusively for the owner, guiding clients through design efficiency, cost analysis, scheduling, contractor coordination and quality control. A significant chapter began in 2005 with the creation of its Division of Fire Protection Services, dedicated to the specialized needs of emergency responders. Since then the division reports having completed 22 fire stations totaling more than $100 million in projects, delivered "on time and under budget," and it has developed a team combining construction project managers with active and retired fire chiefs and training-facilities consultants. The firm's service range also includes disaster recovery services and feasibility studies. Safety performance has been a defining feature of its modern reputation: Hueber-Breuer states it has been ranked #1 in project safety for 15 consecutive years by the Associated General Contractors of New York State. Its portfolio includes industrial, housing, public-safety and institutional work, such as the TTM Technologies industrial facility, the INSPYRE Innovation Hub, the Mayflower housing project, the Great Sacandaga Lake Fire District fire station, the Nexus Center — which hosted the 2024 World Box Lacrosse Championships and was delivered via design-build — and a downtown Syracuse bus transfer hub delivered under construction management. The company continues to operate as a private, family-owned business headquartered at 148 Berwyn Ave in Syracuse.
